The supplied speaker cables are color-coded for easy identification. Simply connect each cable to the same-colored positive speaker terminal. Rear Panel Wall Mounting The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach four of the supplied rubber spacers to the rear of each speaker. I Mounting vertically To mount the speakers vertically, use the one keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on the screw that is securely screwed into the wall. Rubber spacer 3 2 1 B Speaker mount/bracket inserts These threaded inserts can be used to attach the speaker to a speaker mount or bracket. Note: Use commercially available 1/4" screws to attach the speaker to a speaker mount or bracket. Keyhole slot for wall mounting C Keyhole slots These keyhole slots can be used to wall-mount the speaker. I Mounting horizontally To mount the speakers horizontally, use the two keyhole slots shown to hang each speaker on two screws that are securely screwed into the wall. Keyhole slot for wall mounting Center Speaker Base Use the center speaker base to mount the center speaker horizontally. If you place the speaker and its base on top of a TV or an entertainment center, adjust the angle of the speaker so that it faces toward the listening position. The center speaker should be installed on the base securely. If the speaker is loose, try adjusting the position so that it sits securely on the base. The cradle surface of the base features two stoppers to prevent the speaker from moving. Therefore, you can tilt the speaker toward the front by up to 15 degrees. 15° Rubber spacers SKC-640C The plaque of each speaker rotates so that you can position the speakers upside down. 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 3/8" or less and a shank diameter of 1/8" 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 1/4"­5/16" Wall between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown. (We recommend that you consult a home installation professional.)
