You can install your front and surround
speakers on the wall.

Prepare screws (not supplied)
that are suitable for the hole on
the back of each speaker as
shown in the illustrations
below.

Fasten the screws to the wall.
The screws should protrude 5
to 7 mm.

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.
