The unit can be installed on a TV stand or mounted on a wall (p.9).

It is equipped with remote control sensors positioned to support installation on a TV stand or mounting on a wall.

Installing the unit on a TV stand, etc.

Position the unit so that the keys are on the far side of the unit.

About the TV remote repeater

The unit receives signals from the TV’s remote control via the remote control sensor

located on the front panel. It then transmits these signals from the TV remote repeater

located on the rear panel.

HINT

• This function is available only when the TV’s remote control uses infrared signals.

• The TV’s remote control can be used even when the unit is turned off as long as the unit’s power cable is

plugged into an AC wall outlet.

Cautions

• Do not stack the unit 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 parts) on the front and the top of the unit.

• The unit contains non-magnetic shielding speakers. Do not place magnetically sensitive items (hard

disk drive, etc.) near the unit.

• Depending on your installation environment, it may be better to connect the unit and external devices

before installing the unit.

PREPARATION ➤Installation En 9

Mounting the unit on a wall

Mount the unit on the wall so that the keys face

upwards.

How to mount the unit 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 Peel off the backing paper from the spacers and

attach the adhesive face to the unit as illustrated

below.

4 Hang the unit on the screws.

Using the supplied cover (for the TV remote

repeater)

When the unit is mounted on a wall, the TV remote

repeater may appear white. If this presents a distraction

while watching TV, attach the supplied cover to the TV

remote repeater.

Cautions

• When mounting 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.

• To avoid falling the unit, attach the unit to a dry wall.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not lean on the unit or apply excessive force to the top of the

unit. Doing so may cause the unit to fall.

• Check that the unit is fixed securely after the installation. Yamaha

will bear no responsibility for any accidents caused by improper

installations.
