Shelf Placement
You can place the satellite and center speakers on shelves. The satellite speakers have
built-in bases for shelf placement. You can also remove the bases.
To remove a satellite speaker’s base, pull it straight off the speaker. Pulling evenly on both
sides of the base will allow it to slide off smoothly.

Wall-Mounting: Satellite Speakers
IMPORTANT:
Read the
Connections
section, on page 8, before wall-mounting the satellite
speakers. During the process of installing the brackets you will need to insert the speaker
wires through the wall-mount brackets and connect the wires to the speakers.
NOTE: If you are using your own speaker wire, it must be no thicker than the wire supplied
with the speakers. Thicker wire will prevent the bracket from sliding onto the speaker.
1. Determine the location for the speaker.
2. Remove the speaker’s base as explained in Shelf Placement, above.
3. Slide the two sections of the wall-mount bracket apart.

4. Attach the wall portion of the wall-mount bracket onto the wall using hardware that is
appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. We recommend first anchoring
the bracket using its keyhole, then attaching it with another anchor through its top
opening, as shown in the illustration. Note that the satellite speakers weigh 3.3 lb
(1.5kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.

NOTE: If you’re running the speaker wire through the wall, you can bring it out directly
behind the bracket location and insert it through the bottom opening in the wall portion of
the bracket. Running the wire in this way will keep the wire completely hidden from view
once the installation is complete.

5. If you’re not running the speaker wire through the wall, insert it through bottom of the
wall portion of the bracket as shown below.
6. Pass the speaker wire through the speaker portion of the wall-mount bracket, as
shown in the illustration.

7. If you have not already removed the speaker’s base, do so by pulling it straight off the
speaker, as shown in
Shelf Placement,
above.
CAUTION: Before making speaker connections, be sure that your receiver or
amplifier is turned OFF and its AC cord is unplugged from the AC outlet.
