PLACING THIS SYSTEM

To enjoy quality sound thoroughly, you need to place this system in the appropriate positions, and install the components correctly. After deciding the layout, follow the procedure below to install this system.

Subwoofer/system control Center system (YAS-71SPX)

(YAS-71CU)

Center system (YAS-71CU)

Place the center system beneath a TV or under the TV so that the center system and your TV align vertically. Make sure that the center system is placed in parallel with the wall.

Main roles: Produces front channel (stereo) sounds. Also produces virtual center channel sounds (dialogue, etc.) and virtual surround channel sounds effectively using the Yamaha front surround system.

Subwoofer/system control (YAS-71SPX)

Place the subwoofer near the center system and turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections. Main roles: Produces low frequency (LFE) sounds.

Notes

•This system is shielded against magnetic fields. However, if the picture on your TV screen becomes blurred or distorted, we recommend moving the system away from your TV.

•Low frequency sound produced by the subwoofer/system control may be heard differently depending on the listening position and subwoofer location. To enjoy desired sounds, try changing the location of the subwoofer.

•Depending on your installation environment, connections to external components can be done before installing this system. We recommend that you temporarily place and arrange all components in order to decide which procedure is best done first.

Placing the center system

You can place the center system on a rack or attach it to a wall. Select an installation method that suits your environment.

■Placing the center system beneath/under a TV

1Attach the supplied double-sided tapes on the spacers and non-skid pads on the rear of

Example 1:	the spacers.
Beneath your TV	Side. A	Side. B
	Double-	Double-
	sided tape	sided tape
	Non-skid pad	Non-skid pad
Example 2:Under your TV	2 Attach the spacers to the bottom.

y

If there is any obstacle (TV stand, etc.) under the center system, use the supplied spacers as follows.

Notes

•Do not cover the remote control sensor of your TV, etc., by the center system.

•The spacers may scratch or damage the surface of your rack or floor. Be careful when placing or moving the center system.

•For your safety, take measures in advance to prevent the center system from falling.

PLACING THIS SYSTEM

■ Attaching the center system to a wall

Installing the center system using the keyholes

You can attach the center system to a wall using commercially available screws (#8, Diameter: 7.5 mm or more (5/16” or more)).

When installing the center system 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 system to fall, resulting in personal injury.

1 Attach the supplied mounting template on a wall and mark the holes of the mounting template.

Tapes or thumbtacks

2 Remove the mounting template and then install the commercially available screws at the marks.

Diameter:

7.5 mm or more (#8, 5/16” or more)

4 to 6 mm (3/16” to 1/4”)

Installing the cables above the center system

To pass the cables upward, you need to attach the spacers to make room on the back of the center system.

In step 2 of the left column;

2-a: Attach the supplied spacers to the rear panel of the center system using the supplied double-sided tapes. You can choose either the side A or the side B.

Notes

•The center system weighs about 5 kg (11 lbs.). Attach the center system to a bracket, rack or wall. Do not attach the center system to a wall that is made of weak materials such as plaster or veneered woods. Doing so may cause the center system to fall.

•Use commercially available screws that can support the weight of the installation.

•Make sure you use specified screws to attach the center system. Using clamps other than specified screws, such as short screws, nails, or two-sided tape, may cause the center system to fall.

•When connecting the center system, fix the speaker cables in place where they will not become loose. If your foot or hand accidentally gets caught on a loose speaker cable, the center system may fall.

•After attaching the center system, check that the center system is fixed securely. Yamaha will bear no responsibility for any accidents caused by improper installations.
