Place the main unit at a height close to ear-level in the listening area.When installing the main unit, use a stable surface to avoid accidents or injury. To Install on a WallYou can install the main unit on the wall. Before installation, see "CONNECTIONS" on page 12 and complete the wiring connections.5 mm10 mm4-5 mm600 mm •When the main unit is installed on a wall, its weight could cause the screws to come loose over time, or it may not be adequately supported by the wall, the wall you intend to mount the unit on is strong enough to support it.

Use screws suitable for the wall material and that can support the weight of the unit. It is recommended to use 2 inch (50 mm) long screws. •The main unit is magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if the main unit is installed extremely close to the screen of the TV. If this happens, turn the main unit off, and turn it on after 15 minutes. If the problem persists, move the main unit further from the TV.
