Installation; Recommended Installation; Conditions That Make It Difficult For Sound Beams To Achieve Surround Sound - Yamaha YSP-3300 Owner's Manual

Installation

To achieve desired surround sound effects, install this unit where there are no objects such as furniture obstructing the path of sound
waves, referred to as "sound beam(s)" in this manual (☞p. 14). Depending on the location where the unit is installed, it may be easier to
connect external devices such as a TV first. See "Connections" (☞p. 17).
Notes
• This unit requires sufficient space for heat discharge.
– A minimum of 5 cm (2 in) above and behind and 1 cm (13/32 in) to the sides of the center unit
– A minimum of 20 cm (7-7/8 in) above, behind, and to the sides of the subwoofer
Do not cover the subwoofer heat discharge unit on the back of the subwoofer.
• Be sure to install this unit where it does not fall subject to vibrations, such as from an earthquake, and where it is out of the reach of children.
• When using a cathode-ray tube (CRT) TV, do not install this unit directly above your TV.
• If the picture on your TV screen becomes blurred or distorted, we recommend moving this unit away from your TV.
Center unit
Some TVs have sensors such as the motion sensor or signal transmitter for 3D glasses in front. Installing the center unit may interrupt
the sensors or signal transmitter from functioning. Set the center unit away from your TV.

Recommended installation

Center unit
• Install the center unit in the center of the left and right walls.
• Place the center unit on a TV stand in front of the TV.
Use the TV Remote Repeater function if the center unit
obstructs the remote control sensor on the TV (☞p. 12).
Increase the height of the center unit if the TV stand is too high
for center unit installation (☞p. 12).
• The listening position (such as sofa, etc.) should be located at
the front of the center unit.
• The distance between the listening position and the center unit
should be more than 1.8 m (6 ft).
• This unit can be mounted on a wall using WALL MOUNT
BRACKET SPM-K20 (option). Refer to the SPM-K20 Install
Manual and SPM-K20 Information for YSP-CU4300/
YSP-CU3300.

Conditions that make it difficult for sound beams to achieve surround sound

This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected sound beams off the walls of your listening room. The surround sound effects
produced by this unit may not be sufficient when this unit is installed in the following locations.
• Rooms with walls inadequate for reflecting sound beams
• Rooms with acoustically absorbent walls
• Rooms with measurements outside the following range:
W (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft)) × H (2 to 3.5 m (7 to 11.5 ft)) ×
D (3 to 7 m (10 to 23 ft))
• Rooms with less than 1.8 m (6 ft) from the listening position to
this unit
Subwoofer
Subwoofer
• To prevent sound reflecting off of walls, angle the subwoofer
slightly toward the center of the room.
• When installing the subwoofer on a rack, be sure the rack is
strong enough to support the subwoofer and that it leaves
sufficient space for heat discharge.
• The center unit and subwoofer communicate wirelessly.
Subwoofer performance may be affected if the subwoofer is
placed on a metal rack, or if there is a metal plate between the
subwoofer and the center unit.
• The subwoofer can also be placed on its side (☞p. 13).
• Rooms where objects such as furniture are likely to obstruct
the path of sound beams
• Rooms where the listening position is close to the walls
• Rooms where the listening position is not in front of this unit
