Mounting the Bar

Speaker on a wall

You can mount the Bar Speaker on a

wall.

especially fragile, attach the screws

securely to two studs in the wall beam.

Install the Bar Speaker horizontally, hung

by screws in studs in a continuous flat

section of the wall.

• Be sure to subcontract the installation to

Sony dealers or licensed contractors and

pay special attention to safety during the

installation.

• Sony shall not be held responsible for

accidents or damage caused by improper

installation, insufficient wall strength,

improper screw installation or natural

calamity, etc.
