Placing the Speakers (BDS 600 System)
Placing the Front Left and Front Right Speakers
If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table directly in front of the
TV, centered with the TV screen. Attach the supplied rubber feet to the soundbar as shown in
the illustration.
If your TV is located in an entertainment or media center, you can mount the soundbar in a
space directly above or below the TV.
WARNING: Do NOT place the soundbar directly on top of a TV or at the front
edge of a table or cabinet. It could roll forward and injure someone.
Wall-Mounting the Soundbar
If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mount the
soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen.
Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make sure that the top of the 1.
soundbar will not block your view of the TV screen when it is mounted on the wall.
Mark the locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The holes for 2.
the left and right brackets are spaced 600mm apart. The top and bottom holes for each
bracket are spaced 25mm apart. See the illustration below.
NOTE: To insure that the soundbar will be level, use a carpenter’s level, a laser sight or another
device to insure that the two sets of holes are at exactly the same height.
Attach the two wall-mount brackets to the wall at the locations you marked, using 3.
hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. Note that the
soundbar weighs 8.1 lb (3.67kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.
After making all of the connections described in the 4. Connections section, on page 14,
attach the soundbar to the brackets by sliding the slots in its rubber bumpers onto the
brackets’ vertical tabs.

Placing the Subwoofer
Follow the subwoofer placement directions in Placing the Speakers (BDS 800, BDS 700, BDS
400 and BDS 300 Systems), on page 10.
Mounting Options for Satellite and Center Speakers
Shelf Placement
You can place the satellite and center speakers on shelves. BDS 800 and BDS 400 satellite
speakers have built-in bases for shelf placement. If you want, you can remove a base by
pulling it straight off its speaker. Apply even pressure to both sides of the base and smoothly
slide it off the speaker.

Wall-Mounting the BDS 800 and BDS 400 Satellite Speakers
IMPORTANT: Read the Connections section, on page 14, before wall-mounting the satellite
speakers. You will need to insert the speaker wires through the wall-mount brackets and
connect the wires to the speakers during the process of installing the brackets.
NOTE: If you are using your own speaker wire, it must be no thicker than the wire supplied
with the speakers. Thicker wire will prevent the wall-mount bracket from sliding onto the
speaker.
Decide on the location for the speaker (see 1. Placing the Speakers (BDS 800, BDS 700, BDS
400 and BDS 300 Systems), on page 10).
Remove the speaker’s base as explained in 2. Shelf Placement, on this page.
Disassemble the wall-mount bracket by pulling the two sections apart. 3.
