Unpacking the System
Carefully unpack the system. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery
service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.
Open the package and verify the following contents:
(3) LCR (left, center, right) speakers
(2) Surround speakers
(1)

(2) 40’ (12m) speaker wires
(3) 15’ (4.6m) speaker wires
(1) 15’ (4.6m) subwoofer cable
(2) Feet (for use with LCR speaker’s horizontal use)
(2)

(4) Rubber bumpers (used for wall mounting)
Placement Options
The MCS 130 LCR and surround speakers are easily placed on
a tabletop or wall-mounted. The speakers are confi gured for
tabletop use when you fi rst unpack the system. Two LCR speak-
ers will have one foot installed that will keep your speaker level
when used in the vertical position. The other LCR speaker will
have 2 feet installed for horizontal use as the center speaker.
There are 2 sets of holes on each foot; by using the upper of
the two holes, the speakers will have a slight forward angle for
use on a high shelf. When the feet on the back of your speakers
are removed, the speakers are easy to wall-mount.
The MCS 130 LCR and surround speakers are designed to
easily mount on the wall using the keyhole slot(s) on the back
of the speaker. When mounting the speakers to the wall, use
the supplied rubber bumpers. You must remove the attached
foot to wall-mount your speakers. Remove the thumbscrew
from the back of the foot. It is slotted for easy removal with a
screwdriver or a coin.
The keyhole mounting option is similar to hanging a picture frame on a
wall. Install a #8 screw (not included) into the sheetrock, making sure to
go into a stud, and hang the speaker onto the screw head. If a stud is not
available, a sheetrock anchor should be used to support the weight of the
speaker. It is advisable to connect the speaker wire prior to wall-mounting.
NOTE
: Because there are so many diff erent kinds of surfaces on
which the speakers could be mounted. There is no one type of
fastener that we could supply that would work in all the possible
situations. So taking into account the surface the speaker is being
mounted on, acquire the appropriate type of fasteners. If you’re not
sure what type of fastener to use, take the mounting bracket to a
friendly hardware store, tell them about the wall you’re mounting the
speaker on, and ask them to recommend an appropriate fastener.
Keep in mind the weight of the speaker.
