User manual BOSTON ACOUSTICS MCS 100

[. . . ] A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. [. . . ] When mounting the speakers to the wall use the supplied rubber bumpers. You must remove the attached foot to wall-mount your speakers. Remove the thumbscrew from the back of the foot. It is slotted for easy removal with a screwdriver or a coin. The keyhole mounting option is similar to hanging a picture frame on a wall. Install a #8 screw (not included) into the sheetrock, making sure to go into a stud, and hang the speaker onto the screw head. If a stud is not available, a sheetrock anchor should be used to support the weight of the speaker. It is advisable to connect the speaker wire prior to wall-mounting. NOTE: Because there are so many different kinds of surfaces on which the speakers could be mounted. There is no one type of fastener that we could supply that would work in all the possible situations. So taking into account the surface the speaker is being mounted on, acquire the appropriate type of fasteners. If you're not sure what type of fastener to use, take the mounting bracket to a friendly hardware store, tell them about the wall you're mounting the speaker on, and ask them to recommend an appropriate fastener. Keep in mind the weight of the speaker. Speaker Connections After your speakers are properly placed, you are ready to wire your system. Use the speaker wire included with the system to make your connections. For longer distances, #16 or #18 gauge wire available from your dealer should be used. Please see the illustration for guidance connecting the wires to the MCS 100 satellites and center channel. For connection to your receiver please refer to its owner's manual. 12V TRIGGER OUT Important! To ensure the best performance observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in the illustration.
