supplied brackets.
Satellites and Surrounds
Wall-Mounting
Unscrew the bolt that attaches the black
shelf stand to the bottom of the speaker.
Store the stand and bolt in a safe place
in case they are needed for a future
installation.
Mount the wall-
bracket attachment
plate on the wall in
the desired location.
If possible, position
the speakers so that
the mounting screws
(not included; use size #8) may be
installed directly into a wooden wall stud.
If that is not possible, use optional wall
anchors that are rated to support at least
twenty-five pounds.
The customer is
responsible for proper selection and use
of mounting hardware, available through
hardware stores, to properly and safely
wall-mount the speakers.
Referring to the speaker connection instruc-
tions on pages 9 through 12, thread the
appropriate speaker cable through the open-
ing in the bottom of the wall plate, and then
through the back of the bracket, as shown in
the diagram. The bracket has two openings
on top: a round screw hole, and an
arc-
shaped opening in front of it. The speaker
cable should be threaded through the arc-
shaped opening, not the screw hole.
Attach the bracket to the wall plate by insert-
ing the tab at the top of the wall plate into
the slot on top of the bracket and snapping
the bracket onto the wall plate.
Thread the cable through the round opening
in the terminal cover, and then insert the
speaker wires into the terminals on the
underside of the speaker, remembering to
observe the correct polarity (see page 9).
Place the terminal cover over the opening
on the underside of the speaker so that it fits
flush against the speaker and covers the ter-
minals, with its round opening exposing the
threaded insert. The bracket fits through the
round opening in the terminal cover.
Insert the supplied bracket bolt up through
the bottom of the bracket and terminal
cover, and screw it into the threaded insert
on the underside of the speaker. The bolt
should be snug, but not so tight as to
prevent the bracket from pivoting.
The wall-mounted speaker may be pivoted
from side to side; however, the bracket
is
not
designed to tilt up or down, and
attempting to tilt it will damage the bracket
and possibly the wall, which would not be
covered by your warranty.
The satellite speakers may
be placed on a shelf. Place
each satellite speaker on
one of the supplied coasters
for added stability and to
protect your furniture.
