1: Installing speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 6.1 channel
system (6 speakers and one sub woofer).
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel
surround sound requires five speakers (two
front speakers, a center speaker, and two
surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1
channel).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of
DVD software recorded sound in the Surround
EX format if you connect one additional
surround back speaker (6.1 channel) (see
“Using the surround back decoding mode” on
page 43).
Example of a 6.1 channel
speaker system configuration
AFront speaker (Left)
BFront speaker (Right)
CCenter speaker
DSurround speaker (Left)
ESurround speaker (Right)
FSurround back speaker
GSub woofer
Tip
Since the sub woofer does not emit highly
directional signals, you can place it wherever you
want.
Before you install the speakers and sub
woofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads
to prevent vibration or movement as shown in
the illustration below.
For greater flexibility in positioning the
surround and surround back speakers, use the
optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker
stand (available only in certain countries).
Be sure to detach screw A from the speaker
and use it when you install the speaker to the
speaker stand. For details, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the
speaker stand.

You can install your surround and surround
back 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.
