Installing The Speakers - Yamaha CinemaStation TSS-15 Owner's Manual

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 sur-
round right speakers.
The following illustration shows the ideal position for each
speaker relative to the TV and listening position.

■ 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 (Low-
Frequency Effects) channel. Since bass sounds are nondi-
rectional, 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:
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 screw-
driver, loosen the screw at the back of the stand, adjust the
angle, and then tighten the screw.
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).
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.
