1: Installing the speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 5 channel

speaker with 2 subwoofers system.

To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel

surround sound requires five speakers (two

front speakers, a center speaker and two

surround speakers) and a subwoofer (5.1

channel).

with 2 subwoofers system

configuration

ESurround speaker (right)

FSubwoofer

GSubwoofer

Tip

Since the subwoofers do not emit highly directional

signals, you can place them wherever you want.

Before you install the center speaker, surround

speakers and subwoofers, be sure to attach the

supplied foot pads to prevent vibration or

movement as shown in the illustration below.

Installing the speakers on a flat

surface

13

GB

Getting Started

You can install your surround speakers on the

wall.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the hook on

the back of each speaker as

shown in the illustrations

below.

2 Fasten the screws to the wall.

The screws should protrude 5

to 7 mm.

3 Hang the speakers on the

screws.

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.
