Major specifications for speakers

When placing the speaker on top of the TV rack, etc., attach
the provided fasteners at two points on the bottom of the
speaker and on the top of the TV.

Notes
• Do not place the center speaker on top of a TV whose area is

smaller than the bottom of the speaker. If placed, the speaker
may fall and cause injury.

• Do not place the center speaker on top of a TV if the top is

inclined.

• Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the seal, as

this will waken 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
fall.

Fasten two screws into a firm wall or wall support at

the interval shown below.

Mounting the speakers on the wall

You can mount the front and/or surround speakers on a wall. To mount them on a wall, use the holes of the
brackets attached on the back panels of the speakers.

Hang the speaker by mounting the holes on the

protruding screws.
Make sure that the screws are securely affixed by the
narrow parts of the holes.

Caution

• Each speaker weighs 0.8 kg (1.76 lbs).
• Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood or a wall composed of a soft surface material. If mounted, the

screws may pull out of the flimsy surface and the speakers may fall. This may damage the speakers or cause
personal injury.

• Do not affix the speakers to a wall using nails, adhesives, or any other unstable hardware. Long-term use and

vibrations may cause the speakers to fall.

• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix the cables to the wall.
• Select an appropriate position on the wall to mount the speaker so that no one will injure his/her head or face.

Installing the speakers on commercially available speaker stands

It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside
of either the right or the left front speaker (figure A). The
placement shown in figure B is also possible, however, if
the subwoofer is placed directly facing the wall, the bass
sound may lessen because the sound from the subwoofer
and the sound reflected by the wall may cancel out each
other. To prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer
obliquely to the wall.

Use the non-skid pads

Attach the provided non-skid pads at the four corners on
the bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer
from moving by vibrations, etc.

Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA YHT-270.
