Wall-mounting the center and

surround speaker system

Before mounting

· Remember that the speaker system is heavy

and that its weight could cause the wood

screws to work loose, or the wall material to

fail to support it, resulting in the speaker

falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to

mount the speakers on is strong enough to

support them. Do not mount on plywood or

soft surface walls.

· Mounting screws are not supplied. Use

screws that are suitable for the wall material

and that will support the weight of the

speaker.

· If you are unsure of the qualities and

strength of the walls, consult a professional

for advice.

· Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents

or damage that result from improper

installation.
