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.

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.
