Up to 6 meters

Point the remote control

toward the TSS-15’s

remote control sensor.

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).

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.

2 Position the speaker on the wall where you

want to hang it, and use a pencil to mark the

two hole positions.

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 strain-

relief guide and out through the slot at the

front of the speaker stand, as shown.

5 Fit the speaker stand onto the screws and

push it down so that the screw heads sit

correctly in the keyhole slots.

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 possi-

bility 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.

• 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.

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 peel-

ing 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,

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.

Note:

Although the speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent

interference, if the TV picture is distorted, try moving the

speakers away from your TV.

You can connect up to four audio components to the

TSS-15. This could be a DVD player, CD player, games

console, TV, VCR, DVR (digital video recorder), set-top

box (digital satellite, cable, over the air), camcorder, and so

on. The following diagram shows a typical setup.

Caution:

Before making any connections, disconnect each compo-

nent’s power cable from the wall outlet.

Notes:

• Connect the white plug of the audio cable to the left “L”

(white) jack. Connect the red plug to the right “R” (red)

jack.

• Push each plug ﬁrmly into its jack. Lose connections can

cause noise or malfunction.

• Before connecting your other components to the

TSS-15, refer to their instruction manuals.

• Do not connect video signals to any of the TSS-15’s

jacks. The TSS-15 only supports audio signals.

■ Virtual Surround

With the Virtual Surround function, you can enjoy

5.1-channel surround sound even when the surround left

and right speakers are not used. The surround speakers can

then be used as front speakers to provide extra power.

To turn on the Virtual Surround function, set the TSS-15 to

Standby, and then set the VIRTUAL switch on the rear

panel to ON.

Note:

The Virtual Surround function can be turned on or off only

when the TSS-15 is on Standby. Setting the VIRTUAL

switch while the TSS-15 is on will have no effect.

Boosting the Front Speaker Volume

In Virtual Surround mode, the surround left and right

speakers can be used in addition to the front left and right

speakers to provide extra power. In this mode, the front left

and surround left speakers output the same sound. Like-

wise, the front right and surround right speakers output the

same sound.

When using the surround speakers as front speakers, you

can adjust their positions to optimize the sound dispersion.

Note:

The test tone can be used with the Virtual Surround func-

tion to adjust the level of each speaker (see page 13). The

level of the surround speakers cannot be adjusted indepen-

dently of the front speakers.

■ Energy Saving Function

The TSS-15 has an energy saving function. If it’s left on

and no controls are operated for 24 hours, it will automati-

cally switch to Standby mode.
