Mounting the Bar
Speaker on a Wall
You can mount the Bar Speaker on a
wall.
• Prepare screws (not supplied) that are
suitable for the wall material and
strength. As a plasterboard wall is
especially fragile, attach the screws
securely in the wall beam. Install the
speakers horizontally, hung by screws in
studs in a continuous flat section of the
wall.
• Have the installation done by a Sony
dealer or licensed contractor and pay
special attention to safety during the
installation.
• Sony shall not be held responsible for
accidents or damage caused by improper
installation, insufficient wall strength,
improper screw installation or natural
disaster, etc.
1Prepare two screws (not supplied)
that are suitable for the wall
mount holes on the rear of the Bar
Speaker.
2Stick WALL MOUNT TEMPLATE
(supplied) on a wall.
1Align TV CENTER LINE () of
WALL MOUNT TEMPLATE with the

When the TV Remote
Control does not Work
When the Bar Speaker obstructs the
remote control sensor of the TV, the TV
remote control may not work. In that
case, enable the IR repeater function of
the system.
You can control the TV with the TV
remote control by sending the remote
signal from the rear of the Bar Speaker.
Press and hold STANDARD for 5
seconds to set the function to on or
off.
• Be sure to check that the TV remote
control cannot control the TV, and then
set the IR repeater function to on. If it is
set to on when the remote control can
control the TV, appropriate operation
may not be obtained because of the
interference between the direct
command from the remote control and
the command via the Bar Speaker.
• On some TVs, this function may not work
correctly. In this case, place the Bar
Speaker slightly further away from the TV.
