Note

  • Make sure to use the supplied wall mounting brackets when mounting the bar speaker on a wall. Do not mount the bar speaker directly onto a wall. Doing so can cause the temperature inside the bar speaker to rise considerably, and this may cause damage to the bar speaker or malfunction.
  • Attach the wall mounting brackets flat against the reinforced wall.
  • Ask a Sony dealer or licensed contractor to install the bar speaker securely with full consideration of safety.
  • Sony shall not be held responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, lack of installation strength, misuse, or natural disaster.
  • Two or more persons are required to hang the bar speaker for safety.
  1. Prepare two screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the holes on the wall mounting bracket (supplied).

    The type and length of screws should be selected according to the wall to which they are to be installed.
