Features

Enjoy powerful and realistic sound from the front surround system 
consisting of the sound bar and wireless subwoofer, and easy 
installation and connection to TVs and other devices.

Frequently asked questions

The following section covers popular functions and frequently asked questions about the 
sound bar.

• AIR  SURROUND  XTREME 

Enjoy 7.1 channel surround sound, which creates a wide and deep soundstage, as 
if speakers are set, not only on the front, but also on the left and right, and behind 
the listener (p.9).

• Advanced Bass Extension Processing

Equipped with Yamaha’s original bass boost technology, this system reproduces 
more powerful sound from the dedicated subwoofer (p.9).

Bluetooth

® connection    

Content on a 

Bluetooth

 compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer can be played 

back easily (p.10).
You can enjoy deep and fresh sound as close to the original by the Compressed 
Music Enhancer. The sound bar is also compliant with the aptX codec, which 
enables you to enjoy better sound from your smartphone. 

• HOME THEATER CONTROLLER

You can operate the sound bar easily by installing the dedicated controlling 
application “HOME THEATER CONTROLLER.”

• TV’s remote control learning function

Operate the sound bar with the TV’s remote control (p.12).

• TV Remote Repeater function

Enables the TV’s remote signal to pass through the sound bar. If the installed 
sound bar blocks the TV’s remote sensor, the TV’s remote will not work. This 
function provides a convenient solution (p.14).

• Clear  voice

Makes voice sound (such as dialogues and narrations) clear (p.9).

• UniVolume       

Maintains consistent sound volume when inputs or sound sources switch (p.9).

Q1

Can I operate the sound bar using the remote control of the TV? 
Switching between the remote controls of the TV and sound bar is 
inconvenient.

A1

Yes. You can control the sound bar using your TV’s remote control by the 
“TV’s remote control learning” function (p.12).

This function is available only for the IR (infrared) remote control. Check your 
TV’s remote control type.

Q2

The TV’s remote control does not work after the sound bar is installed in 
front of the TV.

A2

If your TV’s remote control uses IR (infrared) signals, set the “TV Remote 
Repeater” function to transmit the TV’s remote control signals from the sound 
bar (p.14).

If your TV’s remote control uses radio waves, increase the distance between 
the TV and sound bar.

Q3

Can I make voice sound more clearly?

A3

Yes. Dialogue in movies, TV news or sports programs, etc., can be made 
clearer using the “clear voice” function (p.9).
