vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is 
applied. 
 Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the 
wall material or screws to be used.

caused by improper installation, insufficient wall 
strength or improper screw installation, natural 
calamity, etc.

wall, you do not need to attach the supplied 
speaker stand.
