For DVX-C3OOSW, refer to the manual provided

with your speakers.

Placing the speakers

When placing the center speaker on top of the TV,

use the supplied fasteners to secure the speaker:

'-'A"d",_ll'lT_ [_ _ _ I

Fastener

0 Peel off the seals on one side of the fasteners and

attach them to the bottom of the center speaker:

O Peel off the seals on the other side of the fasteners

and attach them to the top of the TV,

Notes:

- Do not place the speaker on the TV if the top of the
TV is not level or if it is narrower than the bottom

surface of the speaker. Doing so may cause the
speaker to fall. In this case,place the speaker inside

a TV rack or on a level floor.

- Before attaching the fasteners to the TV,clean the
surface with a dry cloth. A dirty or wet surface may

weaken the adhesive force and cause the speaker to

fall.

- Do not touch the bonding surfaces of the fasteners
after peeling o_ the seals.Doing so may weaken the
adhensive force and cause the speaker to fall.

You can hang the speakers (front and surround
only) on a wall using a commercially available

bracket and screws (Diameter: 6 mm).Attach a
bracket firmly to the rear of the speakers using

screws. Then mount a screw on the wall where the
speaker is to be hung and hook the speaker

securely onto the mounted screw.

Note:

- Do not use screw threads measured in inches for this
installation. Use metric screw threads only.

You can attach the speakers (front and surround
only / to a wall using commercially available screws

_Diameter: 3.5 to 4 mm (1/8" to 5/32"), Length: 20
mm 125/32"/or morel. One speaker requires two

screws.To attach all speakers to a wall, you need to
prepare eight screws.

0 Install two screws in the wall where you want to

place the speaker:
Hang the speaker on the screws using the holes in

the back of the speaker.

Note;

- After attaching each speaker, check that the speaker
is fixed securely. YAMAHA will bear no responsibility
for any accidents caused by improper installations.
