Placing the speakers

Connections

Placing the center speaker

When placing the center speaker on top of the TV,

use the supplied fasteners to secure the speaker.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
