Read these precautions carefully before using your
speakers.
●
Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume
control on your amplifier to a lower setting. Never
allow your amplifier to be driven into “clipping”.
Otherwise the speakers may be damaged.
●
When using an amplifier with a rated output power
higher than the nominal input power of the speakers,
care should be taken never to exceed the speakers’
maximum input.
●
Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. To clean,
wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
●
To prevent the enclosure from warping or
discoloring, do not place the speakers where they
will be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive
humidity.
PRECAUTIONS
SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

●
Do not place the speaker where they are liable to be
knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound
performance.
●
Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as
the turntable can result in feedback.
●
These speakers feature a magnetically shielded
design, but there is still a chance that placing them
too close to a TV set might impair picture color.
Should this happen, move the speakers away from
the TV set.
●
Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident
caused by improper placement or installation of
the speakers.
Place the speaker on the TV whose top is flat or on the
floor under the TV or inside the TV rack so that it is
stabilized.
When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent
the speaker from falling down, put the provided
fasteners at two points on both bottom of the speaker
and top of the TV.

Notes
● Do not place the speaker on top of the TV
whose area is smaller than the bottom area of
the speaker. If placed, the speaker may drop out
causing an injury to you.
● Do not place the speaker on top of the TV with
an inclination.
● Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling
off the seal as this will weaken its adhesive
strength.
● Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the
fastener is to be applied. Note that adhesive
strength is weakened if the surface is dirty, oily
or wet and that this may cause the center
speaker to drop.

The speakers can be mounted on a wall by using the
bracket attached to the speakers’ back panels.
Make sure that the screws are caught by a narrow
part of the holes securely.
Put the screws into a wall according to the figure
shown below.
䡵 Mounting the effect speakers on the wall
Holes
Pads
Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as
shown in the figure below, and hang the holes on the
protruding screws.
WARNING
● Each speaker weights 2.3 kg. Do not mount
them on thin plywood or soft wall surface
material, as the screws may come out of the
flimsy surface, causing the speakers to fall
down and be damaged, or result in personal
injury.
● Do not fasten the speakers to wall with nails,
adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long
term use and vibrations may cause them to fall
down.
● To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over
loose speaker cords, fix them to the wall.
