When Installing the Main Unit
on a Wall
You can install the main unit on a wall.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to have the main unit installed by qualified
personnel.
• DO NOT install the main unit on the wall by yourself
to avoid unexpected damage from them falling off the
wall due to incorrect installation or weakness in wall
structure.
• Care must be taken in selecting a location for
installation on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage to
devices may result if the main unit installed on a wall
interfere with daily activities.
• The main unit weighs approximately 2.3 kg. Sufficient
care must be taken when installing the main unit on a
wall to prevent any accidents caused by the main unit
falling off.
• Before installing the main unit on a wall, check the wall
(or other related aspects) to install, and verify whether
the strength of the wall will be sufficient to support the
weight of the main unit.
• Do not install the main unit to a plywood or
plasterboard wall. The main unit will fall and sustain
damage as a result.
• The screws needed for attachment are not supplied.
Use screws which are compatible with the strength and
material of the pillar or wall.
• When installing the main unit, the screws must
be secured tightly in all three locations. Failure in
installing the main unit to the wall using all three holes
on the back of the main unit makes for an unstable
installation and it constitutes a safety hazard as the
main unit may fall down.
Example of attachment
The procedure below is an example of how to attach the
main unit to a wall.
It does not make any guarantee for safety while using the
main unit on the wall. Take into account such factors as the
material, strength, and the status of the wall as well as the
reinforcing material, and the possible changes that will take
place over time.
• You need to connect the cords to the main unit before
attaching it to the wall.
• DO NOT plug the power cord into an AC outlet before
installing the main unit on the wall.
1Select the place (wooden wall) where the main unit is
to be attached.
Avoid a plywood or plasterboard wall.
2For reinforcement purposes, prepare the wooden
board which will be used to install the main unit on
the wall.
Before proceeding, check the position of the supports
inside the wall.
Use a sturdy board sized as below:
A
Board
B
C
Supports inside the wall
A (Height): Higher than the main unit

so may damage the main unit and/or cause injury to the
person.
Take care specially when there are small children at the
home.
• Avoid sandwiching the cords between the main unit and
wall. This may upset the balance of the main unit and
cause the main unit to fall down.
• Make sure that the connected cords will not interfere
with daily activities and that the users will not be caught
in the cords.
• Do not pull the connected cords with excessive force.
• Check regularly that none of the screws are loose.
• In the event that the main unit has fallen, turn off the
power, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
Then, contact your dealer for an inspection and repairs.
Using the main unit in this state may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
• Do not place valuables (breakables) underneath the
location where the main unit is installed. They will be
damaged if the main unit should fall.
JVC bears no responsibility for any accidents or damage
resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting,
insufficient strength of attachment, misuse or abuse, or
natural disasters.
Preparing the Remote Control
Insert the battery into the remote control by matching the
polarity (+ and –) correctly.
• If the range or effectiveness of the remote control
decreases, replace both batteries.
