This section provides information on installation
and connection methods for DVX-C300 speakers.
For DVX-C300SW, refer to the manual provided
with your speakers.
Placing the speakers
Placing the center speaker
When placing the center speaker on top of the TV,
use the supplied fasteners to secure the speaker.
Fastener
Peel off
the seal
1 Peel off the seals on one side of the fasteners and
attach them to the bottom of the center speaker.
2 Peel off the seals on the other side of the fasteners
and attach them to the top of the TV.
Hanging on a wall
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.
Attaching to a wall
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 (25/32”) or more). One speaker requires two
screws. To attach all speakers to a wall, you need to
prepare eight screws.
Screws (3.5 to 4mm (1/8” to
5/32” dia., commercially available)
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 off the seals. Doing so may weaken the
adhensive force and cause the speaker to fall.

1 Install two screws in the wall where you want to
place the speaker.
2 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.

Notes:
– Ensure that the speaker cables are correctly

system due to a short-circuit.
– When connecting the speakers, fix the speaker
cables in place so that cables do not loosen. If your
foot or hand accidentally gets caught on a loose
speaker cable, the speaker may fall.
–To prevent unwanted noise, do not place the
