1: Installing the speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel 
system (5 speakers and one sub woofer).
To fully enjoy theatre-like multi channel 
surround sound requires five speakers (two 
front speakers, a center speaker, and two 
surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 
channel). 
Example of a 5.1 channel 
speaker system configuration

BFront speaker (right)

DSurround speaker (left)
ESurround speaker (right)
FSub woofer
Tip
Since the sub woofer does not emit highly 
directional signals, you can place it wherever you 
want.
Before you install the speakers and sub 
woofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads 
to prevent vibration or movement as shown in 
the illustration below. 
For greater flexibility in positioning the 
speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 speaker 
stand (available only in certain countries). For 
details, refer to the operating instructions 
supplied with the speaker stand.

Getting Started
You can install your surround speakers on the 
wall.
1Prepare screws (not supplied) 
that are suitable for the hook on 
the back of each speaker as 
shown in the illustrations 
below.
2Fasten the screws to the wall. 
The screws should protrude 5 
to 7 mm.
3Hang 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.
