Placing the Speakers (BDS 600 System)

Placing the Front Left and Front Right Speakers
If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table directly in front
of the TV, centered with the TV screen. Attach the supplied rubber feet to the soundbar
as shown in the illustration.
If your TV is located in an entertainment or media center, you can mount the soundbar in
a space directly above or below the TV.
WARNING: Do NOT place the soundbar directly on top of a TV or at the front edge
of a table or cabinet. It could roll forward and injure someone.
Wall-Mounting the Soundbar
If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mount
the soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen.
1. Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make sure that the top of the
soundbar will not block your view of the TV screen when it is mounted on the wall.
2. Mark the locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The holes
for the left and right brackets are spaced 600mm apart. The top and bottom holes
for each bracket are spaced 25mm apart. See the illustration below.
NOTE: To insure that the soundbar will be level, use a carpenter's level, a laser sight or
another device to insure that the two sets of holes are at exactly the same height.
3. Attach the two wall-mount brackets to the wall at the locations you marked, using
hardware that is appropriate for the wall's construction and materials. Note that
the soundbar weighs 8.1 lb (3.67kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support
this weight.
4. After making all of the connections described in the Connections section, on page
14, attach the soundbar to the brackets by sliding the slots in its rubber bumpers
onto the brackets' vertical tabs.

Mounting Options for Satellite and Center Speakers
Shelf Placement
You can place the satellite and center speakers on shelves. BDS 800 and BDS 400
satellite speakers have built-in bases for shelf placement. If you want, you can remove a
base by pulling it straight off its speaker. Apply even pressure to both sides of the base
and smoothly slide it off the speaker.

Wall-Mounting the BDS 800 and BDS 400 Satellite Speakers
IMPORTANT: Read the Connections section, on page 14, before wall-mounting the
satellite speakers. You will need to insert the speaker wires through the wall-mount
brackets and connect the wires to the speakers during the process of installing the
brackets.
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 wall-mount bracket from
sliding onto the speaker.
1. Decide on the location for the speaker (see Placing the Speakers (BDS 800, BDS
700, BDS 400 and BDS 300 Systems), on page 10).
2. Remove the speaker's base as explained in Shelf Placement, on this page.
3. Disassemble the wall-mount bracket by pulling the two sections apart.
