Yamaha A-15: Installing the speakers

Installing the speakers

Installing the speakers

Before you connect the speakers, place each speaker in

its respective location. Speaker positioning is very

important as it affects the overall sound quality of the

system. Place the speakers in locations that will

optimize the sound quality at your listening position.

Refer to the illustration.

Note

• Placing the speakers too close to a CRT-type TV may

impair the picture color or cause a buzzing noise. In

this case, move the speakers at least 20 cm (8") away

from the TV. This is not an issue with LCD and plasma

TVs.

•

*

Place the two front speakers (commercially available) on the left and right sides of the TV, facing directly forward.

** Place the left and right surround speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inward.

Installing the center speaker

Place the center speaker centrally between the front

speakers, facing directly forward.

When placing it on a flat surface (TV rack, etc), affix

the supplied fasteners to bottom of the speaker.

Refer to the illustration.

When wall-mounting it, see “Wall-mounting the

speakers” (page 3).

Note

• Wipe the surface clean before affixing the fasteners. If

the surface is dirty, oily or wet, adhesive strength is

weakened and the speaker may fall.

Wall-mounting the speakers

You can mount the speakers on the wall as follows.

1 Install screws into a solid wall or wall support

English

as shown in the illustration. Use 3.5 to 4 mm

(1/8") diameter self-tapping screws.

2 Hang each speaker by its keyhole slots onto

the protruding screws.

Note

• Make sure the shaft of the screw is seated in the narrow

part of the keyhole slot. Otherwise, the speaker may fall.

Warnings

• NS-B150 speaker weighs 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs.) and

NS-C150 speaker weighs 2.1 kg (4.6 lbs.). Do not

mount the speakers on thin plywood or on a wall

with a soft surface material. Otherwise, the screws

may pull out of the surface and the speakers may fall,

possibly damaging the speakers or causing personal

injury.

• Do not affix the speakers to a wall using nails,

adhesives, or unstable hardware. Long-term use and

vibration may cause the speakers to fall.

• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose

speaker cables, affix the cables to the wall.

• Mount the speakers in a wall location that will be

unlikely to result in injury to an individual’s head.

•

When using speaker brackets (commercially available)

to mount the speakers on the wall or ceiling, we

strongly recommend using safety wire (may be

supplied with the bracket) between the speaker and

bracket to prevent the speaker from falling.

• When installing these speakers on a wall mounted

bracket, it is essential that they are firmly secured.

Be sure to consult a reliable source about the best

type of fastener for your particular wall / ceiling’s

construction.

■ Mounting the center speaker on the Yamaha YTS-F500/YTS-T500 TV stand

You can use the screw holes [diameter: 6 mm (1/4"), hole depth: 16 mm (5/8")] on the rear of this unit to mount the

speaker on the YTS-F500/YTS-T500. For installation details, please refer to the owner’s manual that came with the

YTS-F500/YTS-T500.

Notes

• Be careful not to pinch the speaker cables between the speaker and the speaker bracket or speaker stand.

• Do not lean or place any object on the speaker. Otherwise, the TV stand bracket may be deformed.
