Step 3: Installing Speakers
For greater flexibility in the positioning of the
satellite speakers, use the supplied speaker
stands. (fig. B)
Speaker stands WS-FV10A, WS-TV10A, and WS-
WV10A are also available on option.
You can install the satellite speakers on the wall
using commercially available screws. (fig. C)
You need to determine the appropriate hanging
screws and/or other necessary hardware needed
to securely and safely fasten the speakers to the
wall. Please be sure you have selected fasteners
or screws that will fit in the hanging holes on the
rear of the speaker.
Placement of the screws should be at the same
height and should be 2 3/8 in. (59 mm) apart. The
screws or other fasteners should protrude by
3/16 in. to 7/32 in. (4 to 5 mm). You may also
mark placement of the screws or fasteners by use
of something like a template.
Hang the speakers on the screws and push the
speakers so that they fit against the wall.
