Installation

Place the sound bar on a flat surface such as on top of a 
TV cabinet.
Place the subwoofer to the outside of the sound bar. 
To avoid echoes from the wall, face the front side of the 
subwoofer slightly inward.

HINT

• If it is difficult to operate the TV, use the TV Remote Repeater 

function (p.14) to transmit the TV’s remote control signal via sound 
bar.

• When placing the sound bar across the bases of the TV, or when 

changing the height of the sound bar, attach the supplied stands 
with the stand attachment screws.

Attaching the sound bar to a wall

How to install on the wall

1 Attach the mounting template on a wall and mark 

for the screw holes.

2 Remove the mounting template from the wall, 

then install commercially available screws (as 
illustrated below) at the points marked on the 
wall.

3 Hang the sound bar on the screws.

Cautions

• Do not stack the sound bar/subwoofer and a BD player or other 

device directly on each other. Doing so may cause a malfunction 
due to vibrations.

• Do not hold the speaker portion (fabric part) on the front of the 

subwoofer when moving it.

• The sound bar contains non-magnetic shielding speakers. Do not 

place magnetically sensitive items (hard disk drive, etc.) near the 
sound bar.

• Depending on your installation environment, it may be better to 

connect the sound bar and external devices (such as a TV) 
before installing the sound bar.

• Do not place the sound bar within 50 mm (2") of the TV. 
• The subwoofer and sound bar communicate wirelessly. Do not 

place objects that block wireless signals, such as metallic 
furniture and devices, between the subwoofer and sound bar as 
the wireless communication may be adversely affected.

• If the subwoofer is covered with a cloth or other object, the sound 

volume is reduced. Install the subwoofer so that it is not hidden 
behind a thick curtain, etc.

Cautions

• When installing the sound bar 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 sound bar to fall, 
resulting in personal injury.

• Do not attach the sound bar to a wall that is made of weak 

materials such as plaster or veneered woods. Doing so may 
cause the sound bar to fall.

• Make sure you use commercially available screws that can 

support the weight of the installation (specified in Step 2 on the 
right). Using clamps other than specified screws, such as short 
screws, nails, and two-sided tape, may cause the sound bar to 
fall.

Cautions

• Fix the cables in place where they will not become loose. If your 

foot or hand accidentally gets caught on a loose cable, the sound 
bar may fall.

• Check that the sound bar is fixed securely after the installation. 

Yamaha will bear no responsibility for any accidents caused by 
improper installations.
