Note
• Have the installation done by a Sony dealer or
licensed contractor and pay special attention to
safety during the installation.
• Sony shall not be held responsible for accidents or
damage caused by improper installation,
insufficient wall strength, improper screw
installation or natural disaster, etc.
1 Prepare a screw (not supplied) that is suitable
for the wall mount hole on the rear of the
speakers.
4 mm (3/16 in)
More than 30 mm (1 3/16 in)
Hole on the rear of the rear speaker
5.0 mm

2 Decide the wall mounting position of the
speaker and fasten the screw there.
Approx.
13.5 mm
(approx.
9/16 in)
3 Hang the wall mount hole on the screw.
Check the label on the bottom of the speakers.
“REAR R” is for the right, “REAR L” is for the left.
Note
Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for
the wall material and strength. As a plasterboard wall
is especially fragile, attach the screws securely in the
wall beam. Mount the speakers onto a reinforced
wall making sure that the heights of the right and left
speakers are equal.
Connection
Tip
You can connect the optional subwoofer with a
compatible model in the following way when
installing it too.
1 Turn on a compatible model.
2 Connect the AC power cords (mains leads)
(supplied) to the rear speakers, and then
connect the cords to the AC outlets (mains).
3 Make sure that the power indicators on the
speakers light in green.
When the power indicators light in green, the
connection between the speakers and a
compatible model is established.
If the connection is not established, connect the
speakers to a compatible model manually. For
details, see “If the Connection is not Established
Automatically”.
