Mounting the Bar
Speaker on a wall
You can mount the Bar Speaker on a
wall.
Notes
•Prepare screws (not supplied) that are
suitable for the wall material and
strength. As a plasterboard wall is
especially fragile, attach the screws
securely to two studs in the wall beam.
Install the Bar Speaker horizontally, hung
by screws in studs in a continuous flat
section of the wall.
• Be sure to subcontract the installation to
Sony dealers or licensed contractors and
pay special attention to safety during the
installation.
•Sony shall not be held responsible for
accidents or damage caused by improper
installation, insufficient wall strength,
improper screw installation or natural
calamity, etc.
1 Prepare screws (not supplied) that
are suitable for the holes on the
rear of the Bar Speaker.
2 Fasten the screws to 2 studs in the
wall.
The screws should protrude by
8 mm to 9 mm (approx.
11
/32 in).
3 Hang the Bar Speaker on the
screws.
Align the holes at the rear of the Bar
Speaker with the screws, then hang

Additional Information
Precautions
On safety
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the system, unplug the system and have
it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
•Do not climb on the Bar Speaker and
subwoofer, as you may fall down and
injure yourself, or system damage may
result.
On power sources
•Before operating the system, check that
the operating voltage is identical to your
local power supply. The operating voltage
is indicated on the nameplate on the
bottom of the Bar Speaker.
•If you are not going to use the system for
a long time, be sure to disconnect the
system from the wall outlet (mains). To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the
cord.
•One blade of the plug is wider than the
other for the purpose of safety and will fit
into the wall outlet (mains) only one way.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, contact your dealer.
•AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at a qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction.
If you continuously use this system at high
volume, the system temperature at the
rear and bottom rises considerably. To
avoid burning yourself, do not touch the
system.
On placement
•Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
• Do not place the system near heat
sources or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the
Bar Speaker and subwoofer that might
block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
• If the system is being used in combination
with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, noise may
result and picture quality may suffer. In
such a case, place the system away from
the TV, VCR, or tape deck.
• Use caution when placing the system on a
surface that has been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.), as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
• Take care to avoid any possible injury
from the corners of the Bar Speaker and
subwoofer.
On operation
Before connecting other equipment, be
sure to turn off and unplug the system.
If you encounter color irregularity
on a nearby TV screen
Color irregularities may be observed on
certain types of TV.
• If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV, then turn it on again after
15 to 30 minutes.
• If color irregularity is observed again...
Place the system further away from the
TV.
On cleaning
Clean the system with a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.
If you have any question or problem
concerning your system, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
