Wall Mounting

The speakers (center, surround, and surround back) can
easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots.
To mount the surround or surround back speakers
vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each
speaker on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall.

(SKR-770/SKB-770)
To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two
keyhole slots shown to hang each speaker on two screws
that are securely screwed into the wall.

7-7/8" (200 mm)
Caution:
A mounting screw's ability to support a speaker depends
on how well it's anchored to the wall. If you have hollow
walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are
no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.
Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (8 mm) or less
and a shank diameter of 5/32" (4 mm) or less. With
hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any
power cables or water pipes before making any holes.
Leave a gap of between 7/32"
(5 mm) and 3/8" (10 mm)
between the wall and the base
of the screw head, as shown.
(We recommend that you
consult a home installation
professional.)

Using the Cork Stoppers for a More
Stable Platform
We recommend using the provided cork stoppers to
achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The
cork stoppers prevent the speakers from moving,
providing a more stable platform. Use stoppers for the
center speaker.

Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer
If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl,
tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet
may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the
supplied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads
also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.
