We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Yamaha and the Electronic Industries
Association’s Consumer Electronics
Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe
level. One that lets the sound come
through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion – and,
most importantly, without affecting
your sensitive hearing. Since hearing damage from loud
sounds is often undetectable until it is too late, Yamaha
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group recommend you to avoid prolonged
exposure from excessive volume levels.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with
arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert you to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock
to persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to
alert you to the presence of
important operating and
maintenance (servicing)

FCC WARNING
Change or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in aresidential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
−Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
−Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
−Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
−Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment compiles with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum
permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 20 cm and
more between the radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Installations
Place the unit on a flat surface such as on top of a TV
cabinet.
Attaching the unit 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 and
install the commercially available screws at the
marks on the wall.
3 Hang the unit on the screws.
Cautions
• Do not place the unit on/under any other devices such as BD
player in a pile. Doing so may cause a malfunction due to
vibrations.
• The unit contains acoustic suspension speakers. Do not place
magnetically sensitive items (hard disk drive, etc.) near unit.
• Depending on your installation environment, it may be better to
connect the unit and external devices (such as a TV) before
installing the unit.
• Do not place the unit within 50 mm (2") of the TV. The wall mount
brackets on the rear panel can be removed as necessary.
Cautions
• When installing the 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 unit to fall, resulting in
personal injury.
• Do not attach the unit to a wall that is made of weak materials
such as plaster or veneered woods. Doing so may cause the unit
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 unit 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 unit
may fall.
• Check that the unit is fixed securely after the installation. Yamaha
will bear no responsibility for any accidents caused by improper
installations.

The surround sound is achieved by reflecting the sound beams off walls as shown in the
illustration below. For optimum surround effect, turn on the unit and select the YSP
POSITION key according to the installation position of the unit.
Refer to the “ YSP POSITION (YSP position) keys” (p.9) in “Operations” to
select the key according to the installation position of the unit.
NOTE
• Keep a distance of more than 2 meters (6.6 ft) between the unit and listener.
• Install the unit in front of the listening position.
• If the sound beams are blocked by obstacles such as furniture, adjust the position of the unit or the
obstacles.
