Installation
Positioning For Optimal Surround Sound
This speaker system can provide full Surround sound. To enjoy
the full effect of the Surround sound field, please position the
speakers as described below.
· Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV.
Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance
the stereo effect.
· Place the center speaker on the center between the front
left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-
ward so that it is directly facing the listening area.
· Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either
directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly
behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these
speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.
· Place the surround back speaker behind the listining posi-
tion, at the same height as the left and right surround speak-
ers.
About Using Speakers Near a TV (Front speaker, Center speaker)
This speaker include magnetic shielding and can therefore be installed close to a TV set. Note, however, that placing speakers too
close to a TV may in some cases produces distortion in the color reception. In such case, turn on the TV and check that color
reproduction is normal. If color is distorted, turn the TV off for 15 to 30 minutes, then turn it back on and check again. (This allows
the TV's degaussing circuitry to correct for the magnetic field from the speakers.) If distortion is still present, move the speakers
further from the TV.

Installation Methods
On the Desktop or Shelf
Place the speakers on the desktop, shelf or a similar level surface.
The KS-5200HT and KS-5200EX are supplied with the speaker stands for the front speakers. Refer to the separate instruction
manual for the speaker stands when installing the speakers using the stands.
On the Wall
The speakers include mount holes for wall mounting. You can hang the front and surround speakers on the wall vertically, and the
center speaker horizontally.
7 Front speaker , Surround speaker
1. Screw a single screw into the wall at the desired loca-
tion. Screw it only part way in, so that the screw projects
8 to 10 mm (5/16 to 3/8 inches) outward from the wall
surface.
2. Hang the speaker by fitting the top mount hole (at the
upper rear of the speaker) over the extending part of
the screw. Confirm that the speaker is held firmly and
securely in place.
7 Center speaker
1. Screw two screws into the walls 150 mm (5-7/8 inches)
apart, making sure that screws are horizontally level.
Screw each screw only part way in, so that the screw
projects 8 to 10 mm (5/16 to 3/8 inches) outward from
the wall surface.
2. Hang the speaker by fitting the two mount holes (at the
rear of the speaker) over the extending part of the screw.
Confirm that the speaker is held firmly and securely in
place.
Various mounting methods
7 On the optional kenwood stand (SR-8000)
(front speaker and surround speaker only)
The speaker can be installed on the SR-8000 stand optionally
available from KENWOOD.
7 On the commercially available speaker mount or bracket
(front speaker only)
Any commercially available speaker mount or bracket can also
be used (provided that the speaker can be fixed using an M5
screw with a pitch of 60 mm and
effective thread length of 10 to 13
mm).
For details, read the instruction
manual for the speaker mount or
bracket.

Precautions
Please observe the following precautions when mounting speakers onto the wall.
· Be sure that the wall you are using is strong enough to support the full weight of the speaker (approx. front speaker : 0.8 kg
[1.8 lb], center speaker : 0.8 kg [1.8 lb], surround speaker : 0.6 kg [1.3 lb]).
· Wall screws must be purchased separately. Be sure to use screws that are appropriate for the wall you are using, and that
are long enough to provide sufficient strength.
· If you are uncertain about the wall's support strength, the type of screw to use, or any other points regarding this type of
installation, please consult a contractor or other qualified person before proceeding.
Be sure to follow the procedure given here when carrying out installation. Kenwood can assume no liability for injury
or damage that may occur if a speaker setup falls from the wall as a result of incorrect installation or insufficient
support strength.

The speaker wires and labels of speakers' back panel are color-coded to facilitate connection. Connect each wire to the matching-
colored terminal, as shown in the figure.
Be sure to turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting speakers.
Front speakers
1. The speaker system's peak input power is indicated in the specifications. To avoid speaker damage, never run the
speakers at power levels exceeding this limit.
2. This speaker system has a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. To ensure safe and reliable operation, be sure that your
amplifier or receiver is able to work with 8-ohm speakers.
·
Never short the (+) and () speaker wires together.
·
