Wall-mounting the front and surround speaker system
Attaching the brackets
÷Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as securely as possible when attaching
the bracket to the back of the speaker.
÷Please do not attach the brackets to the center speaker.
Before mounting
÷Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the
wood screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the
speaker falling. Make sure that the wall on which you intend to mount the speakers
is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.
÷Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are suitable for the wall
material and that will support the weight of the speaker.
÷If you are unsure of the material and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice.
÷Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.
