PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING THIS SYSTEM

To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Choose the installation location of this system carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of humming such as transformers and electric motors.

Do not operate this system upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.

Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer.

The openings on the surface of the power amplifier/subwoofer unit assure proper ventilation of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the unit in a well-ventilated place. Make sure to allow a space of at least

10 cm behind, 10 cm on the both sides and 20 cm above the top panel of the unit, and never use the unit with the unit laid down on the floor. Doing so may not only damage the unit, but also cause a fire.

Always set the volume setting to minimum before starting play of an audio source. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level.

When not planning to use this system for long periods of time (such as during vacation), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

Do not use excessive force on the switches, controls or connection wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the wire itself.

Do not attempt to clean the system with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the system is faulty.

To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

Do not plug the AC power plug into the wall outlet before you finish all connections.

The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on this system. Using this unit with a higher voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this system with a voltage other than that which is specified.

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on the speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound which may occur when turning on the system with the volume setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.

Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the system. Condensation can cause the system to malfunction. To eliminate condensation:

Remote control

Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a soft cloth before operating the system.

Secure placement or installation is the owner’s responsibility.

YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused by improper placement or installation of this system.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of this system in the space below.

Serial No.:

The serial number is located on the rear of the power amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AVS7).

Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference.

PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION (FOR CANADA MODEL)

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT AND FULLY INSERT.

FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMER

THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPARATUS MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE CANADIAN INTERFERENCE-CAUSING EQUIPMENT REGULATIONS.

For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below.

Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR U.K. MODEL

IMPORTANT

THE WIRES IN THE MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Blue: NEUTRAL

Brown: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Make sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

FOR U.K. AND EUROPE MODELS ONLY

MAIN POWER switch

The U.K. and Europe models are equipped with a MAIN POWER switch on the rear bottom panel of the power amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AVS7).

Setting this to ON switches the AV-S7 system to STANDBY mode. To power on the system, press the STANDBY/ON button on the center speaker or the POWER button on the remote control transmitter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

English

VOLTAGE SELECTOR (FOR GENERAL AND

 

 

 

CHINA MODELS ONLY)

 

 

The voltage selector on the bottom of the power

 

 

amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AVS7) must be set for

 

 

your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into

 

 

the AC main supply.

 

 

Voltages are 110/120/220/240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

This system is still connected to the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the system itself is turned off.

In this state, this system is designed to consume a very small quantity of power. Pressing the STANDBY/ON button (or POWER button) lights up the STANDBY indicator and puts the system into standby. This is called STANDBY mode.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this system to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Aim the remote control transmitter at the remote control sensor (within a 60° range with no obstacles) and operate as shown.

Notes concerning use

Replace the batteries if the control distance decreases or operation becomes unstable.

Periodically clean the transmitter window on the remote control transmitter and the sensor on the center speaker with a soft cloth.

Exposing the sensor on the center speaker to strong light (such as an inverter-type fluorescent lamp) may interfere with operation. In this case, reposition the center speaker to avoid direct light.

Keep the remote control transmitter away from moisture, excessive heat, shock and vibrations.

The remote control transmitter’s range is from 0.2m (8”) to 6m (20’) from the sensor.

OUTLINE OF THIS SYSTEM

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

• The AV-S7 system consists of the SW-AVS7, NX-AVS7 and the NX-AV1.

This system is a multi-channel audio system which consists of the units shown below.

By driving 6 speakers, the built-in digital sound field processor (DSP) creates various kinds of Yamaha original digital sound fields simulating an actual concert hall, live house and other venues. When watching a movie source, the builtin Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder and the digital sound field processor turn your room into a movie theater with tremendous impact.

Ultra-low bass reproduced by the subwoofer (SW-AVS7) makes sound more real and powerful. This system will give you great enjoyment in watching TV and playing various audio sources.
