Hang the speakers on the screws.
Example of installing the speakers on the wall
Hook on the back of the speaker 4.6 mm
Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied. Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used. Sony is not responsible for accident or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc. For HT-SF1300, if you install the speakers on the wall, you do not need to attach the supplied speaker stand.

A HDMI cable (not supplied)
We recommend that you use a Sony HDMI cable.
Notes on HDMI connections
Use a HDMI cable with the HDMI logo (made by Sony). An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any other audio jacks. Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can only be output from the HDMI OUT jack. When you want to listen to the sound from the TV speaker, set AUDIO FOR HDMI to TV+AMP in the VIDEO menu (page 40). If you cannot play back multi channel software, set to AMP. However, the sound will not output from the TV speaker. The multi/stereo area audio signals of a Super Audio CD are not output. Be sure to turn on the receiver when the video and audio of a playback component are being output to a TV via the receiver. If the power supply of the receiver is not turned on, neither video nor audio is transmitted. Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from a HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component. Check the setup of the connected component if the image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable. Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency or the number of channels of audio output signals from the playback component is switched.

SYSTEM menu parameters

x FL DIST. (Front left speaker distance) x FR DIST. (Front right speaker distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speaker (A). If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

x CNT DIST. (Center speaker distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker.
x SL DIST. (Surround left speaker distance) x SR DIST. (Surround right speaker distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers.
x SW DIST. (Subwoofer distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the subwoofer. Tip
If you set CAL LOAD in A. CAL menu to LOAD YES, you can adjust the speakers distance in 0.01 meter increment.
SIDE/HI Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections A and D. SIDE/LO Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections A and C. Tip
Surround speaker position is designed specifically for implementation of the CINEMA STUDIO EX modes. For other sound fields, speaker position is not so critical. Those sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speakers would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the surround effects become unclear unless set to SIDE/LO or SIDE/HI. Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using BEHD/HI if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are located to the immediate left and right. Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and select the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select BEHD/LO or BEHD/HI and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

x SUR POS. (Surround speaker position)
Lets you specify the location of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the surround effects in the CINEMA STUDIO EX modes (page 45).
x DIMMER (Brightness of the display)
Lets you adjust the brightness in 3 steps. BEHD/HI Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections B and D. BEHD/LO Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections B and C.
