Yamaha TSX-15 Owner's Manual - Page 8

Installing the Speakers Before you connect the speakers to the TSS-15 amplifier, you need to decide where to install them. To get the best results from the TSS-15, use all five satellite speakers and the subwoofer. The three satellite speakers with 3-meter cords are the front left, front right, and center speakers. The two satellite speakers with 10-meter cords are the surround left and surround right speakers. The following illustration shows the ideal position for each speaker relative to the TV and listening position. Center speaker Amplifier Front right speaker Subwoofer Note: The TSS-15 amplifier is designed to be used vertically. If it's used horizontally, heat may build up inside the case, causing damage or malfunction. ■ Preparing the Satellite Speakers To prevent the satellite speakers from slipping, or vibrating when mounting on the wall, affix four non-skid pads to the base of each speaker stand, as shown. To adjust the angle of a speaker, using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screw at the back of the stand, adjust the angle, and then tighten the screw. Front left speaker Surround right speaker Surround left speaker non-skid pads ■ Front Speakers The front speakers output the main sound. Place them either side of your TV, an equal distance from the listening position. ■ Center Speaker With movies, the center speaker is used mainly for dialog. Position it centrally between the front speakers, preferably on top of your TV. ■ Surround Speakers The surround left and right speakers output surround effects and ambience. They should be positioned behind the listening position, equidistant from the listener. ■ Subwoofer The subwoofer outputs the bass sounds of the LFE (LowFrequency Effects) channel. Since bass sounds are nondirectional, the position of the subwoofer is not as important as for the other speakers. In general, a good bass sound can be achieved by putting the subwoofer in a corner at the front of the room. To prevent sound reflections from nearby walls, turn it inward so that it faces the listening position. Note: Do not put the speakers on uneven surfaces. ■ Wall-Mounting the Satellite Speakers The satellite speakers can be wall-mounted by using two #8 wood screws (sold separately). 1 Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screw at the back of the speaker stand, set the angle of the speaker as you want it, and then tighten the screw. 0-90˚ 6
