Mounting Options for Satellite and Center Speakers,

and Connections

You can pivot the wall-mounted speaker from side to side; however, attempting to tilt it up

or down will damage the bracket and possibly the wall, which would not be covered by your

warranty.

Wall-Mounting the BDS 700 Center Speaker

Determine the location for the speaker (see 1. Placing the Speakers (BDS 800, BDS 700, BDS

400 and BDS 300 Systems), on page 10, for more information). If possible, position the

speaker so that one of the mounting screws (not included; use size #10) can be installed

directly into a wall stud. If that is not possible, use optional wall anchors that are rated

to support at least 25 lb (11.3kg) and are appropriate for the construction and materials

of your wall. The customer is responsible for the proper selection and use of

mounting hardware, available through hardware stores, to wall-mount the

speaker properly and safely.

Bring the speaker cable through the wall-bracket attachment plate as shown, and mount 2.

the attachment plate on the wall in the desired location.

Wall Construction and Materials

connect the speaker leads to the terminals on the underside of the speaker. Remember to

observe the correct polarity. See Connecting the Speaker Terminals (BDS 700 and BDS 300

systems), on page 15, for more information.

Connections

CAUTION: Before making any connections to the BDS receiver, ensure that the

receiver’s AC cord is unplugged from the receiver and the AC outlet. Making

speaker connections with the receiver plugged in and turned on could damage

the speakers.

Speakers and receivers/amplifiers have corresponding (+) and (–) connection terminals. Your

system’s satellite speakers use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal.

The

•

BDS 2 receiver uses white to denote the left channel (+) terminal and red for the

right channel (+) terminal. Black is used to denote the (–) terminal of both channels.

The

•

BDS 5 receiver uses the following colors to denote the (+) terminals of the various

channels:

Front Left (+): White Surround Left (+): Blue

Front Right (+): Red Surround Right (+): Gray

Center (+): Green

Black is used to denote the (–) terminals of all channels on the BDS 5 receiver.

The speaker wires included with your system have colored bands at both ends of the (+)

conductor; the colors correspond to the receiver’s (+) terminal colors. This system helps you

connect each speaker to the correct receiver or amplifier terminals. In addition to the colored

bands at each end, each speaker wire’s (+) terminal has ribs molded into its insulation to

help identify it.

Be sure to connect each speaker identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the receiver or

amplifier, and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the receiver or amplifier. Miswiring one or more

speakers results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

CAUTION: Make sure the (+) and (–) bare wires do not touch each other or the

other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your

receiver or amplifier.
