3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).
Example of 5.1 channel speaker system configuration
Center speaker
Front speaker (Left)
Sub woofer
Surround speaker (Left)
Tips
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
• For greater flexibility in the positioning of the surround speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D floor
stand (available only in certain countries).
• You can also install the front and surround speakers on the wall (page 12).
Note
Connect the long speaker cords to the surround speaker terminals and the short speaker cords to the front and center
speaker terminals.

more than 4 mm
M8 screws
Attach the hanging hardware (not supplied)
on the top of the speakers.
Two M8 screws are already embedded in with
an interval of 100 mm on the top of the speaker.
Make sure the hanging hardware is match to the
interval of the screws on the top of the speakers.
Notes
• Use hanging hardware that is suitable for the ceiling
or wall material and strength. As a plaster board
ceiling is especially fragile, attach the hanging
hardware to a beam and fasten them to the ceiling
where reinforcement is applied.
• Contact the hanging hardware supplier or installer
regarding the ceiling, wall material and hanging
hardware to be used.
• Before installation, check the ceiling or wall to
ensure that it is strong enough to stand the weight of
the speakers. Sony is not responsible for accident or
damage caused by improper installation, insufficient
ceiling strength or improper hanging hardware
installation, natural calamity and etc.

Notes
• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and
strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile,
attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them
to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat
wall where reinforcement is applied.
• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall
material or screws to be used.
• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage
caused by improper installation, insufficient wall
strength or improper screw installation, natural
calamity, etc.
