the full effect of the Surround sound field, please position the
speakers as described below.
· Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV.
Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance
the stereo effect.
· Place the center speaker on the center between the front
left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-
ward so that it is directly facing the listening area.
· Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either
directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly
behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these
speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.
· Place the surround back speaker behind the listining position,
at the same height as the left and right surround speakers.

About Using Speakers Near a TV
This speaker include magnetic shielding and can therefore be installed close to a TV set. Note, however, that placing speakers too
close to a TV may in some cases produces distortion in the color reception. In such case, turn on the TV and check that color
reproduction is normal. If color is distorted, turn the TV off for 15 to 30 minutes, then turn it back on and check again. (This allows
the TV's degaussing circuitry to correct for the magnetic field from the speakers.) If distortion is still present, move the speakers
further from the TV.

Installation Methods
On Floor or Shelf
Place the speakers on the floor or on a shelf or other horizontal stable surface. Keep in mind that speakers are not fixed into
place, so be careful to avoid knocking them over.
On the Wall
The speakers include mount holes for wall mounting. You can hang the front and surround speakers on the wall vertically, and
the center speaker horizontally. For vertical mount, you use only one screw and hang the speaker from its upper mount hole
only. For horizontal mount, you need to set two screws into the wall at the appropriate distance so that you can hang the
speaker from both mount holes.
8 - 10 mm
(5/16 - 3/8")
To hang a speaker vertically
1.
Screw a single screw into the wall at the desired
location. Screw it only part way in, so that the screw
projects 8 to 10 mm (5/16 to 3/8 inches) outward from
the wall surface.
2.
Hang the speaker by fitting the top mount hole (at the
upper rear of the speaker) over the extending part of
the screw. Confirm that the speaker is held firmly and
securely in place.
To hang a speaker horizontally
1.
Screw two screws into the walls 94 mm (3-11/16
inches) apart, making sure that screws are horizontally
level. Screw each screw only part way in, so that the
screw projects 8 to 10 mm (5/16 to 3/8 inches) out-
ward from the wall surface.
2.
Hang the speaker by fitting the two mount holes (at
the rear of the speaker) over the extending part of the
screw. Confirm that the speaker is held firmly and
securely in place.
On the speaker stand
The speaker can be installed on the SR-8000 stand optionally
available from KENWOOD.
Front and Center speaker only; Any commercially available
stand can also be used (provided that the rear of the stand can
be fixed using an M5 screw with a pitch of 60 mm and effective
thread length of 7 to 10 mm).
For details, read the instruction manual for the stand.

Precautions
Please observe the following precautions when mounting speakers onto the wall.
·Be sure that the wall you are using is strong enough to support the full weight of the speaker (approx. 0,9 kg [2.0 lb]).
·Wall screws must be purchased separately. Be sure to use screws that are appropriate for the wall you are using, and that
are long enough to provide sufficient strength.
· If you are uncertain about the wall's support strength, the type of screw to use, or any other points regarding this type of
installation, please consult a contractor or other qualified person before proceeding.
Be sure to follow the procedure given here when carrying out installation. Kenwood can assume no liability for injury
or damage that may occur if a speaker setup falls from the wall as a result of incorrect installation or insufficient
support strength.
