INTRODUCTION English

■ Using the remote control

Use the remote control within 6 m (20’) of the center system and point it toward the remote control sensor.

• Be careful not to spill liquid on the remote control.

• Be careful not to drop the remote control.

• Do not leave the remote control in a place that is:

– hot or humid, such as near a heater or in a bathroom

– extremely cold

– dusty

■ Installing the batteries

• If the effective operation distance of the remote control decreases considerably, replace the batteries with two new ones as soon as

possible.

• Do not use an old battery together with new one.

• Do not use different types of batteries (for example, alkaline and manganese) together. Their performance will vary, even if they are

similar in shape.

• If the batteries run out, immediately remove them from the remote control to prevent an explosion or acid leak.

• Dispose of batteries according to regional regulations.

• If a battery starts leaking, dispose of it immediately. Be careful not to let leaking battery acid come into contact with your skin or

clothing. Before inserting new batteries, wipe the compartment clean.

Notes

Within 6 m

(20’)

1 Take off the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert the 2 supplied batteries (AAA, R03, UM4), observing

the polarity markings (+ and –) on the inside of the battery

compartment.

3 Snap the battery compartment cover back into place.

PREPARATION

To enjoy quality sound thoroughly, you need to place this system in the appropriate positions, and install the components

correctly. After deciding the layout, follow the procedure below to install this system.

Center system (YAS-71CU/YAS-81CU)

Place the center system beneath a TV or under the TV so that the

center system and your TV align vertically. Make sure that the

center system is placed in parallel with the wall.

Main roles: Produces front channel (stereo) sounds. Also

produces virtual center channel sounds (dialogue, etc.) and virtual

surround channel sounds effectively using the Yamaha front

surround system.

Subwoofer/system control

(YAS-71SPX/YAS-81SPX)

Place the subwoofer near the center system and turn it slightly

toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

Main roles: Produces low frequency (LFE) sounds.

• This system is shielded against magnetic fields. However, if the picture on your TV screen becomes blurred or distorted, we

recommend moving the system away from your TV.

• Low frequency sound produced by the subwoofer/system control may be heard differently depending on the listening position and

subwoofer location. To enjoy desired sounds, try changing the location of the subwoofer.

• Depending on your installation environment, connections to external components can be done before installing this system. We

recommend that you temporarily place and arrange all components in order to decide which procedure is best done first.

You can place the center system on a rack or attach it to a wall. Select an installation method that suits your environment.

■ Placing the center system beneath/under a TV

y

If there is any obstacle (TV stand, etc.) under the center system,

use the supplied spacers as follows.

1 Attach the supplied double-sided tapes on

the spacers and non-skid pads on the rear of

the spacers.

2 Attach the spacers to the bottom.

• Do not cover the remote control sensor of your TV, etc., by the center system.

• The spacers may scratch or damage the surface of your rack or floor. Be careful when placing or moving the center system.

• For your safety, take measures in advance to prevent the center system from falling.

■ Attaching the center system to a wall

Installing the center system using the keyholes

You can attach the center system to a wall using commercially available screws (#8, Diameter: 7.5 mm or more

(5/16” or more)).

1 Attach the supplied mounting template on a

wall and mark the holes of the mounting

template.

2 Remove the mounting template and then

install the commercially available screws at

the marks.

y

To install the cables above the center system, refer to the right

column.

3 Hang the center system on the screws using

the keyholes on the back of the center

system.

When installing the center system on a wall, all installation work must be performed by a qualified

contractor or dealer. The customer must never attempt to perform this installation work. Improper or

inadequate installation could cause the center system to fall, resulting in personal injury.

PLACING THIS SYSTEM

Installing the center system using the screw holes

You can also use the inner or outer screw holes on the rear of the center system for installing the center system using a

commercially available bracket or rack.

• The center system weighs about 5 kg (11 lbs.) for YAS-71 and 6 kg (13 lbs. 4 oz.) for YAS-81. Attach the center system to a bracket,

rack or wall. Do not attach the center system to a wall that is made of weak materials such as plaster or veneered woods. Doing so may

cause the center system to fall.

• Use commercially available screws that can support the weight of the installation.

• Make sure you use specified screws to attach the center system. Using clamps other than specified screws, such as short screws, nails,

or two-sided tape, may cause the center system to fall.

• When connecting the center system, fix the speaker cables in place where they will not become loose. If your foot or hand accidentally

gets caught on a loose speaker cable, the center system may fall.

• After attaching the center system, check that the center system is fixed securely. Yamaha will bear no responsibility for any accidents

caused by improper installations.
