QuestionDoes this hook up via auxiliary cord? I have a projector and currently have a less expensive sound bar and looking to upgrade and I don’t want to mess with my set up already have. So would just like to hook to the wall and plug in the auxiliary cable
Asked 4 years ago by Namelessface545.
- Answer No, HDMI and optical outputs only. Consider one of these adapters: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-hdmi-audio-extractor-black/6324750.p?skuId=6324750 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-hdmi-to-rca-converter-black/6134314.p?skuId=6134314. The 2nd one needs an RCA to AUX cord. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-3-5mm-stereo-audio-rca-cable-black/6412631.p?skuId=6412631 My opinion: this is a great soundbar.

QuestionEvery so often the audio will cut out for about a second and then will come back on. This doesn't happen with any consistency, but it does happen several times during the course of a movie. Any idea on what's causing this?

QuestionCan this be controlled with Alexa app (iOS) to enable pairing and use within an existing Alexa network, I.e., have several existing Amazon Echo speakers throughout my house and would look to add this soundbar when playing music on the “everywhere” group?
Asked 5 years ago by Daddo.
- Answer I was able to add mine to my "everywhere group" but then it shows an error as far as playback. I think it is supposed to work but so far mine has not. The error given is that it is not on the same network...which it is.

QuestionCan this sound bar be attached under bottom of wall mounted tv?
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Sure thing! All sound bars should be able to be wall mounted. Visit the official Yamaha website before purchase though, it should have info about it.

QuestionTwo questions: 1) Can the Yas-109 be attached to bottom of a tv? 2) When using a wall-mounted tv on swing arm, is it important for good sound that the sound bar be attached to the tv and move with the swing of tv?
Asked 5 years ago by Jds.
- Answer I see another purchaser said "It will require holes drilled into the soundbar" Don't drill into the soundbar! There are mounting slots on its bottom, about 8" from each end. Tape the mounting template to the wall (leveled), mark drill-hole locations on the WALL, remove the template & drill holes in the WALL. Attach mounting hardware (not included) securely to the wall, using the holes you drilled. Align the factory made slots on the bottom of the soundbar to the heads of mounting brackets you just attached to the wall. The soundbar should drop less than half an inch on the bracket heads so it doesn't pull straight off. To remove the soundbar from the wall brackets, lift it while pulling towards you as you lift. It should hang and remove pretty easily.
