MOUNTING
The first step in mounting the SB3, SB1, SB.5 Soundbar/LCR is to determine the optimum
position based on the room parameters and your television location. Make sure there is
enough room to accommodate the speakers in the location(s) you have selected.
If you are mounting the speaker(s) on the wall, consideration must be taken to insure the
speaker(s) mount securely. Place the included template on the wall in the desired position
making sure the physical position lines up with the television.
(See diagram 1)
Be advised that
there are several relative angles in the room that may not be square. A level will only determine
absolute position based on gravity. It is best to check the angle of the television and use that
line as a guide to avoid the appearance that the SB3, SB1, SB.5 Soundbar/LCR is misaligned.
Once the position has been established, place the template in that position and secure it with
masking tape. Mark the final screw position on the wall with a sharp tool or a tack. Remember,
the speaker will slide down over the screw until the screw rests at the uppermost position in
the mounting element. Remove the template from the wall and drive in the screws.
Depending on the positions of the studs behind the drywall, you will either use wood screws or
drywall anchors to secure the Soundbar/LCR. The speakers use a keyhole mounting system as
shown in
(diagram 2)
. Make sure when tightening the screws that enough space is allowed for
the mounting element to slide over the head of the screw and into its final position. This may
require a bit of adjustment to securely position the speaker against the wall.
Once the mounting has been tested, remove the speaker from the wall. A hole must now be
drilled into the wall to allow for the speaker wires to pass through.
(See diagram 3)
Make sure
the hole is large enough for all three wires to pass through. The SB3 Soundbar requires a single
hole for all three wires. The SB1 and SB.5 LCR requires a hole for each speaker.
