Installing the center unit on a TV stand, etc.
Position the center unit with the touch panel facing up on a TV
stand, etc.
NOTICE
▪ Do not stack the center unit and a BD player or other device directly on each
other. Doing so may cause a malfunction due to vibrations.
▪ Avoid touching, and never place any weight or pressure on, the subwoofer’s
speaker (portion covered with fabric). Doing so may damage the speakers.
▪ Do not install the subwoofer where the speaker (portion covered with fabric) is
too close to a wall, or cover the subwoofer’s bass reflex port. Doing so may
reduce sound volume.
▪ The subwoofer can only be used in its upright position. Do not position the
subwoofer on its side.
▪ The unit contains non-magnetic shielding speakers. Do not place magnetically
sensitive items (hard disk drive, etc.) near the unit.
▪ The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly. Do not place objects
that block or interfere with wireless signals, such as metallic furniture or
devices, between the center unit and the subwoofer as wireless communication
may be adversely affected.
NOTE
The center unit can also be mounted on a wall. Some knowledge of building
construction is required for safe installation. Please have a qualified contractor or
dealer install the center unit on a wall. For details, see the following:

Connecting a TV that supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)
Connect the TV, which supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), to the
unit with an HDMI cable (sold separately).
What is Audio Return Channel (ARC)?
In order for the unit to play audio from a TV, the TV must usually be connected to
the unit via an audio cable as well as an HDMI cable. If, however, the TV supports
Audio Return Channel (ARC), TV audio signals can be input to the unit via the
HDMI cable that outputs video signals from the unit to the TV.
NOTE
▪ Connect an HDMI cable to the audio return channel supported jack (the jack with
“ARC” indicated) on TV.
▪ Enable the HDMI control function of the unit to activate the Audio Return Channel
(ARC). For details, see the following:
– “Configuring the HDMI control function” (p.43)
▪ Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it. A cable with a
maximum length of 5 m (16 ft) is recommended to prevent degradation of signal
quality.
▪ Use a premium high-speed HDMI cable for playback of 3D and 4K video content.
▪ The unit supports HDCP version 2.2, a copy protection technology. For playback
of 4K video, connect the unit to the HDMI input jack (one compatible with HDCP
2.2) on an HDCP 2.2-compliant TV.
▪ The TV input jack cannot be used when a TV that supports the Audio Return
Channel is connected to the unit.

Mounting the center unit on a wall
Mount the center unit on a wall using the screw holes on the rear
panel.
CAUTION
▪ To prevent the center unit from falling, attach it to a wall constructed of drywall
(plasterboard).
▪ Make sure you use screws (sold separately) that can support the weight of the
installation. Using clamps other than specified screws, such as short screws,
nails, and two-sided tape, may cause the center unit to fall.
▪ Fix the cables in place where they will not become loose. If your foot or hand
accidentally gets caught on a loose cable, the center unit may fall.
▪ Do not lean on the unit or apply excessive force to the top of the center unit.
Doing so may cause the center unit to fall.
▪ Check that the center unit is fixed securely after the installation. Yamaha will
bear no responsibility for any accidents caused by improper installations.
