Simple setup

Preparation

To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform assembly on it.

For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver.

Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.

There is no difference between the right and left speakers and pipes.

[Note]

To prevent the speaker cables from being pulled out of the pipes, leave the plastic wrap on the pipes while assembling the speaker stands.

The front and surround speaker pairs as well as the pipe pairs are different.
–Check the label on the rear of the speaker before attaching the pipe (

page 5).

–The pipe with the shorter cable is for the front speaker.

1

Assemble the speaker stands.

1

Thread the speaker cable through the base.

For quicker threading, loosely fold the cable in half (do not 
crease), pass the folded portion through the hole, and then pull 
the rest of the cable through the base.

2

Insert the pipe.

3

Secure the pipe to the base.

Ensure the screws are securely fastened.

2

Attach the stands to the speakers.

Ensure the stand is fastened on straight by gradually tightening the 
top and bottom screws alternately until fully tightened.

You can also attach to the lower rear of the speaker.

The height of the speaker can be changed when attaching the 
stand to the upper rear or lower rear of the speaker.

3

Connect the speaker cables.

4

Secure the speaker cables to the bases.

Preventing the speakers from falling over 

Preparation

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall 
(

diagram below).

You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the 
walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.

Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the 
appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a 
surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper 
attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

1

Thread the string (not included) through the slot on the 
rear of the speaker to prevent it from falling over.

2

Loop the string through the screw eye and tie tightly.

STEP

1

The supplied stands are specially designed for 
attachment to Panasonic SB-FS930 front speakers 
or SB-FS880 surround speakers. Use only as 
indicated in this setup.
