Wall-Mounting the BDS 700 Center Speaker
1. Determine the location for the speaker (see 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.
2. Bring the speaker cable through the wall-bracket attachment plate as shown, and
mount the attachment plate on the wall in the desired location.

3. Remove the rubber pads from the foot rests on the bottom of the center speaker
and 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.

4. Use the supplied screws to attach the speaker to the wall-mount bracket. The
screws thread into the center foot-rest openings that were exposed when you
removed the rubber pads in the previous step.

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 s 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 s
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.
