Connecting the Speakers
—Continued
The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the
keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating
against the wall, attach two of the supplied thick rubber
stoppers to the rear of each speaker.
To mount the front or surround speakers vertically, use
the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw
that’s securely screwed into the wall.
Front speaker (SKF-518F)
Surround speaker (SKM-518S)
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.
Center speaker (SKC-518C)
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 9 mm or less and a
shank diameter of 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 5 mm
and 10 mm between the wall
and the base of the screw head,
as shown.
(We recommend that you con-
sult a home installation profes-
sional.)
Threaded inserts for machine screws are provided on the
rear of each speaker for wall-mounting with commer-
cially available speaker mounts or brackets. M5 (5 mm)
screws are required for wall-mounting. Refer to the man-
ual supplied with your mounts or brackets for installa-
tion details.
Note:
The portion of the screw that goes into the speaker’s
threaded insert should be between 5 mm – 8 mm long.
We recommend using the provided rubber stoppers to
achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The
rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, pro-
viding a more stable platform. Use thick stoppers for the
center speaker, and thin stoppers for the other speakers.
