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 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 right speaker Subwoofer non-skid pads Surround right speaker Front left speaker Surround left speaker ■ 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. 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. ■ 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. 6 0–90˚ want to hang it, and use a pencil to mark the two hole positions. 4 mm diameter 40 mm • Do not use nails or double-sided tape to mount the speakers. • Use cord clips to secure the speaker cords to the wall. ■ Securing the Center Speaker to Your TV To prevent the center speaker from slipping, you can secure it to your TV by using the fastener provided. You must remove its stand first. 20 mm minimum 5 mm gap 3 Screw two #8 screws into the wall, leaving a 5 mm gap to accept the keyhole slots. 4 Thread the speaker cord around the strainrelief guide and out through the slot at the front of the speaker stand, as shown. Notes: • Do not put the center speaker on top of your TV if it overhangs (i.e., the top of the TV is not deep enough). • Do not put the center speaker on top of your TV if the top is not level. • Do not touch the adhesive side of the fastener after peeling off the backing. • Wipe the top of your TV before attaching the fastener. 1 To remove the center speaker’s stand, using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw and washer at the back of the stand. Keep the screw and washer for future use. 2 Peel the backing off one side of the fastener, or and affix it to the top of your TV. 3 Peel the backing off the other side of the fastener, and affix the center speaker on top. Peel off the backing 5 Fit the speaker stand onto the screws and push it down so that the screw heads sit correctly in the keyhole slots. 40 mm Cautions: • Each satellite speaker weighs 0.4 kg. Heed the following cautions to ensure that the speakers do not fall and cause damage or injury. • Once the satellite speakers have been mounted on the wall, check each speaker to ensure that there’s no possibility of it falling. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury caused by falling speakers. • If you have hollow walls, make sure that the screws go into the studs. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. • Use 1-inch #8 screws (4 mm shank diameter) with a head diameter of 8 mm or less. Bottom of speaker Note: Although the speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference, if the TV picture is distorted, try moving the speakers away from your TV. 7 English 2 Position the speaker on the wall where you Hooking Up the System You can connect up to four audio components to the TSS-15.

Disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet, wait for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in again. — Noise can be heard when the TSS-15 amplifier is situated close to another electronic device. The electronic device’s highfrequency circuits are causing interference on the TSS-15 amplifier. Move the TSS-15 amplifier and electronic device away from each other. — Noise can be heard. Replace with a new CR2025 battery. 1. Using a small screwdriver, carefully slide out the battery holder. 2. Remove the expired battery, and place the new battery onto the battery holder with the + side facing up. 3. Slide the battery holder into the remote control, and push it so that it clicks shut. The battery is depleted. + side up — 2 3 The remote control doesn’t work. 1 • Do not attempt to recharge the old battery. • Dispose of the old battery in accordance with local regulations. 18 You’re too far away from the TSS-15. The remote control has a maximum working range of 6 meters (20 feet), and a working angle of 30 degrees. 5 Direct sunlight or lighting (invertertype fluorescent light, etc) is shining on the TSS-15’s remote control sensor. Reposition the TSS-15 amplifier. — 5.1-channel Refers to a six-channel surround sound format. The 5 refers to the five full-range audio channels (left, right, center, surround left, and surround right), and the .1 refers to the frequency-limited LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel, which is used for sub-bass effects between 20 Hz and 120 Hz. AAC AAC, which stands for Advanced Audio Coding, is a new audio encoding format that uses more efficient compression than the MP3 format, yet offers audio quality on par with that of CD. AAC was developed by the MPEG group and is used in the new MPEG-4 video format. Dolby Digital This is the designated digital surround sound format for DVD-Video, HDTV, and select digital broadcasts (cable, satellite, over the air). A Dolby Digital bitstream may contain mono, stereo, Dolby Surround, or 5.1-channel audio information. Dolby Digital uses lossy compression to squeeze six channels of information into a single digital bitstream. Unlike Dolby Surround and Dolby Pro Logic that use matrix encoding, Dolby Digital uses discrete channels. Dolby Pro Logic The matrix decoder used in home theater equipment to decode Dolby Surround material. Dolby Pro Logic II The second generation Dolby Pro Logic matrix decoder can create quasi 5.1-channel surround (left, right, center, surround left, and surround right) from legacy Dolby Surround sources and normal stereo sources. It offers Movie and Music listening modes. DTS Developed by Digital Theater Systems, DTS is a 5.1-channel digital surround format similar to Dolby Digital, except it uses less compression for a more faithful sound. It’s commonly used with DVD-Video and DTS CDs. PCM PCM signals are linear, noncompressed digital audio signals. Normal CDs contain 16-bit/44.1 kHz PCM. A DVD may contain 16-bit/48 kHz through 24-bit/96 kHz PCM. Silent Cinema Yamaha’s Silent Cinema technology allows you to enjoy multichannel surround sound even when using headphones. Yamaha Cinema DSP Since Dolby Surround and DTS were originally developed for use in movie theaters, it’s inevitable that sounds will not be heard exactly how the original sound designer intended when listened to in a typical home environment, with the smaller room size, wall construction, and number of speakers. Using a wealth of measured data, Yamaha’s Cinema DSP technology uses Yamaha’s own sound-field technology to combine Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, and DTS to supplement the scale, depth and volume of sounds, thereby recreating the audio experience of a movie theater in the home theater environment. Yamaha Virtual Surround Yamaha’s Virtual Surround technology allows you to enjoy 5.1-channel surround sound even when not using the surround left and right speakers. The surround speakers can then be used with the front speakers to provide extra power. Dolby Surround The home version of the original Dolby Stereo surround system used in movie theaters. It uses matrix encoding to deliver four channels (left, right, center, and surround) of information via two audio channels. It’s commonly used for video, laser disc, analog TV, and other stereo analog systems. 19 English Glossary Specifications • Amplifier unit • Subwoofer Output Power per Channel .
