Positioning the system
For the best possible surround sound, place all speakers at the same distance from the listening position
(A). The distance can be between 1.0 to 7.0 meters.
If you cannot place the center speaker and surround speakers at the same distance as (A), you can move
the center speaker up to 1.6 meters closer to the listening position (B), and the surround speakers up
to 5.0 meters closer to the listening position (C).
The subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room.

Installing the speakers on a wall
Caution
• Contact a screw shop or installer for information regarding the wall material or screws to be used.
• 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. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.
• Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or
improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.
Before installing the speakers on a wall, connect the speaker cord to the speaker.
Be sure to match the speaker cords to the appropriate terminals on the speakers: the speaker cord with
the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the color tube to #.
