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 and

supplied spacers (as illustrated below) at the

points marked on the wall.

3 Hang the sound bar on the screws. 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 grilles (fabric parts) on the front 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 50 mm (2") of the TV. The wall mount brackets on the rear panel can be removed as necessary.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.Tapes or thumbtacksMounting template (supplied)Screw holes7 to 9 mm(1/4" to 3/8")2 to 4 mm (1/16" to 3/16")4 mm (#8)20 mm (3/4") or moreSpacer (supplied)Mounting holes on rear of sound bar6

• 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.
