GB
Getting Started
Before you install the speaker and subwoofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to prevent vibration or movement as shown in the illustration below.
Example of HT-SS2300 front speaker
HT-SF2300 only
You need to attach the supplied foot pads to the center speaker and subwoofer only.
HT-SS2300 only
You need to attach the supplied foot pads to all the speakers and subwoofer.
HT-SS2300 only
For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in certain countries). For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the speaker stand.
HT-SF2300 only
For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, use the supplied speaker stand. For details, refer to the supplied speaker stand installation guide.

You can install your speakers on the wall.
1 Prepare screws (not supplied)
that are suitable for the hook on the back of each speaker. See the illustrations below.
2 Fasten the screws to the wall.
The screws should protrude 5 to 7 mm (7/32 to 9/32 inch).
3 Hang the speakers on the
screws.
Example of installing the speakers on the wall
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.
• For HT-SF2300, if you install the speakers on the
wall, you do not need to attach the supplied speaker stand.
