Installation

• The center unit can be installed on a TV stand (p. 10) or mounted on a wall (p. 10). It is equipped with remote sensors positioned to support installation on a TV stand or mounting on a wall.

• To prevent sound reflecting off of walls, angle the subwoofer slightly toward the center of the room.

Center unit

Subwoofer

Position the center unit and subwoofer as shown below with installation.

Cautions

• Be sure to install the center unit on a large, stable stand where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.

• Do not stack the center unit and subwoofer directly on top of other playback devices, or vice versa. Doing so may cause a malfunction due to heat and vibrations.

• Do not hold the speaker portion (fabric parts) on the front and the top of the center unit.

• The center unit and subwoofer contain non-magnetic shielding speakers. Do not place magnetically sensitive items (hard disk drive, etc.) near the unit.

• Depending on your installation environment, it may be better to connect the unit and external devices before installing the unit.

Wirelessconnections

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. Use a wired connection to connect the subwoofer to the center unit if sounds are interrupted due to the installation condition (p. 15).

About the TV remote repeater

The center unit receives signals from the TV’s remote control via the remote control sensor located on the front panel. It then transmits these signals from the TV remote repeater located on the rear panel.

Caution

Position the center unit more than 5 cm (2 in) away from the TV to ensure proper transmission of signals from the remote control to the remote control sensor on the TV.

Cautions

• When mounting the center unit on a wall, all installation work must be performed by a qualified contractor or dealer. The customer must never attempt to perform this installation work. Improper or inadequate installation could cause the center unit to fall, resulting in personal injury.

• To avoid falling the center unit, attach the center unit to a dry wall.

• Make sure you use commercially available screws that can support the weight of the installation (specified in Step 2 on the next page). 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 center unit or apply excessive force to the top of the 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.

Mount the center unit on the wall so that the keys face upwards.

HINT

• This function is available only when the TV’s remote control uses infrared signals.

• The TV’s remote control can be used even when the unit is turned off as long as the unit’s power cable is plugged into an AC wall outlet.

HINT

• 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.

• For playback of 3D and 4K video content, use a high-speed HDMI cable.

• This 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.

• To play 4K (4:4:4) video content, set “4K MODE” to “MODE 1” (p. 51).

When connecting a TV that supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), enable the HDMI control function (p. 46).

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.

HINT

• Use an ARC-compatible HDMI cable.

TV audio will be output through the unit by switching the unit’s input to TV using the TV key on the remote control.

HINT

• If the TV has no optical jack

Connect the audio output jack on the TV to the ANALOG input jacks or COAXIAL input jack on the unit. TV audio will be output through the unit by switching the unit’s input to ANALOG or COAXIAL using the ANALOG or COAXIAL key on the remote control accordingly.
