Wall-mounting the front and surround speaker system

Attaching the brackets

Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as securely as possible when attaching the bracket to the back of the speaker. Please do not attach the brackets to the center speaker. Please do not attach the brackets to the tall front speakers supplied with the following speaker systems: S-DV232T.

Before mounting

Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the wood screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall on which you intend to mount the speakers is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls. Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and that will support the weight of the speaker. Note If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice. Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.
