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.

Installing the speakers on a flat

surface

Installing the speakers on the

speaker stand

16

GB

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.
