Caution
 Contact a screw shop or installer for information regarding the wall material or screws to be used.
 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. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.
 Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or 
improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.
To hang the speaker on a wall
1Connect the speaker cord with the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the 
color tube to #.
2Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hole on the back of each speaker.
