■To mount the satellite speakers on the wall
You can also mount the satellite speakers on the wall as shown below.
Depending on the mounting direction, you can adjust angles of the
satellite speakers vertically or horizontally
To prevent the satellite speakers from falling, place your other hand on the speaker
foot when adjusting angles.
1Prepare 4 commercially available tapping screws 3.5 mm to
4 mm (1/8 in. to 3/16 in.) in diameter.
2 Install 2 screws for the each speaker to a firm wall or wall
support as shown in the illustration on the left.
3 Hang the satellite speakers by their slots onto the
protruding screws.
•Do not mount the satellite speakers on thin plywood or on a wall made of soft
surface material. Otherwise, the screws may pull out of the surface and the
satellite speakers may fall, possibly damaging them or causing personal injury.
•Do not mount the satellite speakers on a wall using nails, adhesives, or unstable
hardware. Long term use and vibration may cause the satellite speakers to fall.
•To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, affix the
cables.
•Secure installation is the owner’s responsibility. Yamaha shall not be liable for any
accident caused by improper installation.
•If you are uncertain about the wall strength, please consult an installation
specialist.

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.
•Bluetooth is a registered trademark of the Bluetooth SIG and is used by Yamaha in
accordance with a license agreement.
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 communication is possible
differs according to the distance between the communicating devices, the presence
of obstacles, radio wave conditions and the type of equipment.
• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices
compatible with Bluetooth function.
Specifications
• Radio waves may affect electro-medical devices.
Do not use this unit near medical devices or inside medical facilities.
• Do not use this unit within 22 cm (9 inches) of persons with a heart pacemaker
implant or defibrillator implant.
The user shall not reverse engineer, decompile, alter, translate or disassemble the
software used in this unit, whether in part or in whole. For corporate users,
employees of the corporation itself as well as its business partners shall observe the
contractual bans stipulated within this clause. If the stipulations of this clause and
this contract cannot be observed, the user shall immediately discontinue using the
software.
