To achieve desired surround sound effects, install this unit where there are no objects such as furniture obstructing the path of sound waves, referred to as “sound beam(s)” in this manual ( p. 14). Depending on the location where the unit is installed, it may be easier to connect external devices such as a TV first. See “Connections” ( p. 17).
Notes
•This unit requires sufficient space for heat discharge.
–A minimum of 5 cm (2 in) above and behind and 1 cm (13/32 in) to the sides of the center unit
–A minimum of 20 cm (7-7/8 in) above, behind, and to the sides of the subwoofer
Do not cover the subwoofer heat discharge unit on the back of the subwoofer.
•Be sure to install this unit where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.
•When using a cathode-ray tube (CRT) TV, do not install this unit directly above your TV.
•If the picture on your TV screen becomes blurred or distorted, we recommend moving this unit away from your TV.
Center unit Subwoofer
Some TVs have sensors such as the motion sensor or signal transmitter for 3D glasses in front. Installing the center unit may interrupt the sensors or signal transmitter from functioning. Set the center unit away from your TV.
Center unit
•Install the center unit in the center of the left and right walls.
•Place the center unit on a TV stand in front of the TV. Use the TV Remote Repeater function if the center unit obstructs the remote control sensor on the TV ( p. 12).
Increase the height of the center unit if the TV stand is too high for center unit installation ( p. 12).
•The listening position (such as sofa, etc.) should be located at the front of the center unit.
•The distance between the listening position and the center unit should be more than 1.8 m (6 ft).
•This unit can be mounted on a wall using WALL MOUNT BRACKET SPM-K20 (option). Refer to the SPM-K20 Install Manual and SPM-K20 Information for YSP-CU4300/ YSP-CU3300.
Subwoofer
•To prevent sound reflecting off of walls, angle the subwoofer slightly toward the center of the room.
•When installing the subwoofer on a rack, be sure the rack is strong enough to support the subwoofer and that it leaves sufficient space for heat discharge.
•The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly. Subwoofer performance may be affected if the subwoofer is placed on a metal rack, or if there is a metal plate between the subwoofer and the center unit.
•The subwoofer can also be placed on its side ( p. 13).
This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected sound beams off the walls of your listening room. The surround sound effects produced by this unit may not be sufficient when this unit is installed in the following locations.
• Rooms with walls inadequate for reflecting sound beams |
• Rooms where objects such as furniture are likely to obstruct |
||
• |
Rooms with acoustically absorbent walls |
|

Example for installing the unit in living room
•As sound beams normally pass through tables, tables are not obstacles. And a cupboard installed facing the wall reflects sounds.
•In a case of the listening room as shown in the right illustration, adjusting the position of the right channel after AUTO SETUP ( p. 23) enables to achieve more desired surround sound effects ( p. 61).
•As the curtains absorb sounds, the sound features of the listening room is different from the case with the curtain opened and the case with the curtain closed. Using saving settings function enables to save the best settings for each case of listening room ( p. 28).

To connect the subwoofer (NS-WSW160) to the center unit wirelessly (yAired), the same group ID must be assigned to the center unit and subwoofer. The default group ID for both components is A1, enabling wireless connection by simply plugging the subwoofer's power cable into an electrical outlet. When using the transmitter (YIT-W12TX)1), the same group ID must be assigned to the center unit and subwoofer. The default group ID of YIT-W12TX is A1.
The LINK indicator lights when the subwoofer is on and the subwoofer and center unit are connected wirelessly.
When the center unit enters standby mode, the subwoofer and LINK indicator turn off.

Yamaha’s proprietary yAired technology enables the wireless connection of the center unit and subwoofer. Wireless connection of the subwoofer allows for subwoofer installation without concern for cables. When the transmitter (YIT-W12TX) is used, iPods or computers can be connected wirelessly to play music stored on these devices through this unit.
For details of YIT-W12TX, refer to “Safety and Accessory Information” (separate booklet).
When playing content from a TV or Blu-ray disc player, the center unit transmits audio signals that are received by the subwoofer. When YIT-W12TX is used to play songs stored on an iPod or computer, YIT-W12TX sends audio signals that are received by the center unit and subwoofer.
The same group ID must be assigned to all components. By default, the center unit, subwoofer, and YIT-W12TX are assigned a group ID of A1. This group ID does not need to be changed.
The center unit, subwoofer, and YIT-W12TX can be assigned a group ID from three possible sets: A1–A3, B1–B3, C1–C3. A1–A3, B1–B3: Audio delay is less than that of the C1–C3 set. C1–C3: Use when playing music stored on a computer via this unit ( p. 48).
To prevent wireless connection of another yAired Yamaha sound system or device installed near this unit or the YIT-W12TX, assign a different group ID to this unit and the YIT-W12TX.

Center unit
Change the group ID from “GROUP ID” in the setup menu ( p. 64).

Initial settings
Due to differences in room sizes and shapes, positioning of this unit, and the lifestyle of users, settings for each channel must be adjusted in order for this unit to provide the optimal listening experience.
This unit is equipped with IntelliBeam, which automatically adjusts settings for each channel. IntelliBeam offers two features, “beam optimization” and “sound optimization”.
Beam optimization:
This feature optimizes the beam angle so that the parameter best matches your listening environment.
Sound optimization:
This feature optimizes the beam delay, volume, and quality so that the parameters best match your listening environment.
This unit performs these two automatic optimizations with the aid of the supplied IntelliBeam microphone.2)

•The AUTO SETUP procedure may not be run successfully if this unit is installed in one of the rooms described in “Conditions that make it difficult for sound beams to achieve surround sound” on page 11. The My Surround function can be used to enjoy rich surround sound in these types of rooms as well. See “Changing the audio output method for surround playback” ( p. 36, 37) for more information.
•Do not connect the IntelliBeam microphone to an extension cable as doing so may result in an inaccurate sound optimization.
•After you have completed the AUTO SETUP procedure, be sure to disconnect the IntelliBeam microphone.
•The IntelliBeam microphone is sensitive to heat.
–Keep the IntelliBeam microphone away from direct sunlight.
–Do not place the IntelliBeam microphone on top of this unit.
Place the IntelliBeam microphone at your normal listening position.
•Use the supplied cardboard microphone stand or a tripod to place the IntelliBeam microphone at the same height as your ears would be when you are seated.
•Position the IntelliBeam microphone so that it is parallel with the floor.
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the IntelliBeam microphone and the walls in your listening room as these objects obstruct the path of sound beams.
However, any objects that are in contact with the walls will be regarded as a protruding part of the walls.
