PREPARATION
Placing
To enjoy quality sound thoroughly, place this unit in the
appropriate positions, and install the components
properly. The following illustrations are the setting images
of this unit.
Notes
• Do not place this unit on/under any other components such as
BD player in a pile. The vibration of this unit may cause system
failure, etc. in other components.
• Keep enough ventilation space on the side, rear, and bottom
side (that attached legs) of this unit. Do not place this unit on a
thick carpet etc.
• Low frequency sound produced by the subwoofer integrated
receiver may be heard differently depending on the listening
position and subwoofer location. To enjoy desired sounds, try
changing the location of the subwoofer integrated receiver.
• Depending on your installation environment, connections to
external components can be done before installing this unit. We
recommend that you temporarily place and arrange all
components in order to decide which procedure is best done
first.
• When you clean this unit, use a clean, dry and soft cloth (such
as a cloth for glasses).
• Do not press the speaker grille when moving it.
Operation by the TV remote control is difficult (with the speaker beneath/under TV)
TV remote control operation may be difficult if the
speaker hides the sensor of your TV when beneath or
under the TV. Try the solutions below and see whether
this solves the problem.
See the manual of your TV about where the sensor of your
TV remote control is.
1 Adjust the height of the speaker by using the
stands.
Remove the screws that secure the stands of the speaker,
and move the stands to adjust the height. Secure the stands
by the same screws, as illustrated below.
2 Use the TV remote signal receptor
The TV remote signal receptor (supplied) receives the
signal of the TV remote control, and transmits to the TV
remote control sensor. Place the TV remote signal
receptor as shown below.
When placing the subwoofer integrated
receiver in an upright position
Remove the stands and spacers on the bottom of the
subwoofer integrated receiver and attach them to the side,
as illustrated below.

there are projections, such as the rear of speaker stand, etc.
• Clean the attachment area on the speaker, using a soft, dry
cloth, such as one for cleaning glasses.
• Clean the signal receiver and signal emitter of the TV remote
signal receptor, using a soft, dry cloth, such as one for cleaning
glasses.
Attaching the speaker to a wall
Installing the speaker using the keyholes
You can attach the speaker to a wall using commercially
available screws (#8, Diameter: 4 mm (3/16”)).
When installing the speaker 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 speaker to fall, resulting in personal
injury.
3 Hang the speaker on the screws using the
keyholes on the back of the speaker.

Notes
• Attach the speaker to a rack or wall. Do not attach the speaker
to a wall that is made of weak materials such as plaster or
veneered woods. Doing so may cause the speaker to fall.
• Use commercially available screws that can support the weight
of the installation.
• Make sure you use specified screws to attach the speaker. Using
clamps other than specified screws, such as short screws, nails,
or two-sided tape, may cause the speaker to fall.
• When connecting the speaker, 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 speaker
may fall.
• After attaching the speaker, check that the speaker is fixed
securely. Yamaha will bear no responsibility for any accidents
caused by improper installations.
