Tape the four corners of the template sheet to the wall in the location you have selected, using a carpenter's level
to make sure the line marked "LEVEL TEMPLATE TO THIS LINE" is level. The template sheet has locations marked for
four mounting holes, two each for the two brackets needed to hang the SS-500s.
Once you are absolutely certain that you have the correct location, you are ready to drill the pilot holes. Go ahead
and drill right through the paper template into the wall. Re-check your measurements (especially making sure the holes
will be level) at least once before drilling.
WARNING: IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ELECTRICAL WIRING MAY BE LOCATED BEHIND THE WALL IN THE
LOCATION THAT YOU HAVE SELECTED. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL ANY TIME YOU DRILL INTO A WALL.
If you are mounting the bracket to a wall stud, drill two 3/32" holes per bracket. Remember that the wallboard mate-
rial is 1/2" or 5/8" inches thick, and you will drill through this before meeting the stud. If you are mounting the bracket to
drywall with the plastic anchors, drill two 1/4" pilot holes per bracket. Once all holes have been drilled, remove the tem-
plate from the wall. Press the plastic wall anchors into the 1/4" pilot holes until they are flush with the wall. Tap them gen-
tly into place if necessary.
Once the holes are drilled, place one bracket against the wall, making sure that the "tongue" (the portion that will
engage the bracket on the speaker cabinet) is facing away from the wall and pointing up. Using the two #6 - 1 3/4" wood
screws provided, fasten this bracket to the wall. BE VERY CAREFUL. DO NOT FORCE THE PLASTIC ANCHORS
THROUGH THE WALL OR OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS. Install the second bracket in the same fashion.
That's it! All that is left for you to do is attach the speaker wire to the input terminals (Section 4, below), and, from
the top, gently slide the speaker into place against the wall. Do the same for the other channel.
5. SS-500THX SPEAKER HOOK-UP
LEFT CHANNEL SPEAKER / RIGHT CHANNEL SPEAKER
Your SS-500s are mirror imaged, meaning that there is a Left Channel speaker and a Right Channel speaker. It is
critical that the correct speaker be used in each channel.
On the plastic cup that contains the speaker input terminals, there is an arrow with the printed nomenclature "Point
Arrow Towards Screen." To correctly install the SS-500s, be sure that the arrow printed on each speaker is pointed
towards the television screen. Remember that the input terminals go towards the nearest side wall. The arrows will not
be visible once the speaker is installed.
