use when you first unpack the system. The foot installed ors

the rear of the speaker will keep it upright.

The MCS 90 satellites and center char]nel are designed to easily mount ors the wall using the keyhole
slot(s) ors the back of the speaker. When mounting

the speakers to the wall use the supplied rubber

bumpers. You must remove the attached foot to wall-mount

your speakers. Remove the thumbscrew

from the back of the foot. It is slotted for easy removal with a screwdriver or a coin.

The keyhole mour]ting option is similar to hanging a picture frame ors a wall. Install a #8 screw (not
ir]duded) into the sheetrock, making sure to go into a stud, and hang the speaker or]to the screw head.

/- it,i

If a stud is not available, a sheetrock anchor should be used to support the weight of the speaker. It is
advisable to cor]nect the speaker wire prior to waiPmour]ting.

NOTE: Because there are so many different

kinds of surfaces ors which the speakers could be mounted.There

is no one

type of fastener that we could supply that would work in all the possible situations. So taking into account the surface the
