Wall Mounting The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach two of the supplied thick rubber stoppers to the rear of each speaker. To mount the front, surround and surround back speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall. Front speakers (SKF-580) Keyhole slot for wall mounting Caution • A mounting screw's ability to support a speaker depends on how well it's anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. • Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8" (4 mm) or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes. • Leave a gap of between 3/16" (5 mm) and 7/16" (10 mm) between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you consult a home installation professional.)

The rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable platform. Use thick stoppers for the center speaker. Thick rubber stoppers To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two keyhole slots shown to hang each speaker on two screws that are securely screwed into the wall.

To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer. 7-7/8" (200 mm) Pad En 14
