Installations

Place the sound bar on a flat surface such as on top of a TV cabinet.

Cautions

• Do not place the sound bar on/under any other devices such as BD player in a pile. Doing so may cause a malfunction due to vibrations.
• Do not touch the grille on the front and bottom of the sound bar.
• The sound bar contains acoustic suspension 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 50mm ( 2^ ) of the TV. The wall mount brackets on the rear panel can be removed as necessary

Removing the stands

When the sound bar blocks the view of the lower part of the TV screen or the remote control sensor of the TV, remove the stands 18mm [34^ ]) of the sound bar to adjust its height.

HINT

• Use the TV Remote Repeater function (p.13) to transmit TV remote control signals via the sound bar.

NOTE

• Keep the stands and screws in a safe place for future use.

Attaching the sound bar to a wall

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

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 sound bar on the screws.

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.

Connections

Connect to a TV (or other peripheral device).

CAUTIONS

• Do not use excessive force when inserting the cable plug. Doing so may damage the cable plug or AC wall outlet.

1 Connect the TV and sound bar with the optical cable (supplied).

Remove the cap of the optical cable and check the direction of the plug.

2 Connect the power cable of the sound bar to an AC wall outlet.
3 Set the TV as follows.

• Set the TV volume to minimum.
• Disable the TV built-in speaker output (if available).

HINT

• If a setting to disable the speaker output is not available on your TV, you may disable it by connecting headphones to the headphone jack on the TV. For details, refer to the manuals of the TV.

If the clearing is completed, you will hear the bleep sound three times.

3 Press the LEARN or (power) key on the supplied remote control.

Controlling the TV via the sound bar (when the TV's remote control sensor is blocked)

When the TV Remote Repeater function is enabled, the sound bar receives TV remote control signals at the TV remote control sensor (on front) and transmits the signals from the TV Remote Repeater (on rear). This function is useful when you cannot operate your TV from the remote control because the remote control sensor of the TV is blocked by the sound bar.

NOTE

This function is available only when your TV remote control uses infrared signals.

1 Turn on the sound bar.
2 Hold down the REPEATER key on the supplied remote control for more than 3 seconds to enable/disable the TV Remote Repeater function.

This completes the necessary settings. When the TV Remote Repeater function is enabled, you can operate your TV from the TV remote control via the sound bar.

HINT

The TV Remote Repeater function is disabled by default.
- If the power cable of the sound bar is connected to an AC wall outlet and when the TV Remote Repeater function is enabled, the function is usable even when the sound bar is turned off.
- If you have made the sound bar learn the volume () operation (p.12), the volume of the TV may be turned up when you turn up the volume of the sound bar with the TV remote control. In this case, follow Step 3 in "Connections" (p.5) to change the TV setting.
- You can check the status of the TV Remote Repeater function by the center indicator when turning on the sound bar.

Using an external subwoofer

The sound bar has dual built-in subwoofer; however, you can connect an external subwoofer. Perform the following steps to change the setting when using an external subwoofer.

1 Connect the sound bar to the external subwoofer with a pin cable.

2 With the sound bar turned off, hold down the SUBWOOFER (-) key on the supplied remote control for more than 5 seconds.

The sound bar turns on and the external subwoofer is selected.

You can check the status of the subwoofer setting by the ANALOG indicator when turning on the sound bar.

To select the built-in subwoofoers again, hold down the SUBWOOFER (+) key of the remote control for more than 5 seconds.

NOTE

The default output setting is for the built-in subwoofer.
- The built-in subwoofer and external subwoofer cannot be used simultaneously.
- Use an external subwoofer with built-in amplifier.

Initializing the settings of the sound bar

Follow the procedure below to initialize the sound bar.

1 Turn off the sound bar.
2 Hold down (power) on the front panel of the sound bar for more than 3 seconds.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the table below when the unit does not function properly. If the problem you are experiencing is not listed below or if the instructions below do not help, turn off the unit, disconnect the power cable, and contact the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center.

First, check the following:

① The power cables of the sound bar, TV and playback devices (such as BD players) are connected to AC wall outlets securely.
② The sound bar, TV and playback devices (such as BD players) are turned on.
③ The connectors of each cable are securely Inserted In to Jacks on each device.

Power and system

Problem Cause Remedy

Bluetooth

• Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices within an area of about 10 meters (33 ft) employing the 2.4 GHz frequency band, a band which can be used without a license.

Handling Bluetooth communications

• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio band shared by many types of equipment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use a technology minimizing the influence of other components using the same radio band, such influence may reduce the speed or distance of communications and in some cases interrupt communications.
• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communications is possible differs according to the distance between the communicating devices, the presence of obstacles, radio wave conditions and type of equipment.
• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices compatible with Bluetooth function.
