Depending on room conditions, it is possible to place
YAMAHA rear speakers NX-AVS70 on shelves or hang
them on the wall. Speakers should be placed about 1.8 m
above the floor.
About 1.8 m
■ YAMAHA subwoofer SW-AVS70
(sold separately)
Place the subwoofer at the either right or left side of the
front speaker unit and facing slightly toward the center of
the room so that the sound from it and the sound reflected
by the wall should not cancel out each other. Try altering the
position of the subwoofer versus the listening position as the
relative position will affect the way the bass sounds.
CAUTION
Although the speakers in this unit are magnetically
shielded, they may still affect the color on the television
monitor when using the speakers on top of the television.
Adjust the relative positions of the speakers and the
television if this happen. Perform the following steps if
you are using a magnetically shielded television.
1 Turn off the television.
2 Wait awhile and turn the television back on.

INSTALLATION
To prevent the front speaker unit from falling, secure it with the provided velcro strip when placing it on a television or other
device. Also, use the height adjustment bracket on the rear of the front speaker unit when there is not enough space for
installation or when the surface is sloped.
Using the Velcro Strips
Precautions before installation
• Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the strip as this will weaken its adhesive strength.
• Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the velcro strip is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength is weakened if the
surface is dusty, oily or wet and that this may cause the front speaker unit to drop.
1 Peel off the seal of the velcro strip with the
rough surface and apply to the protrusions on
the bottom of the front speaker unit.
Wrap the strip tightly with
sides of the tape well
aligned with the edges of
the protrusion.
