CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.
1.To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
2.Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place — away from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or water.
3.Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the unit, contact your dealer.
4.Do not use force on switches, controls or connection cables. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power cord and then the cables connected to other component. Never pull the cables themselves.
5.The openings on the cover 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 area to prevent fire and damage.
6.The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a voltage other than that specified.
7.Digital signals generated by this unit may interfere with other component such as tuners, receivers and TVs. Move this unit farther away from such component if interference is observed.
8.Always set the volume to the minimum level before starting the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after playback has been started.
9.Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
10.Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.
11.When not planning to use this unit for a long period of time (e.g., a vacation), disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
12.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power cord and disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.
13.Grounding or polarization — Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not defeated.
14.AC outlet — Do not connect audio component to the AC outlet on the rear panel if that component requires more power than the outlet is rated to provide.
15.Though this speaker is a magnetic shielding type, there may be some influence on a TV picture depending on the type of TV or the placement of the speaker. In such a case, place the speaker apart from the TV so that there is no influence on TV picture.
This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.
■ 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 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.
Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Although speakers should ideally be placed as shown below, satisfactory effects may be obtained even if you do not strictly follow these guidelines.
Front speaker unit
Place above the monitor in the center.
Right rear
speaker
1.8 m
Left rear speaker
Subwoofer (sold separately or already owned)
Rear speakers (sold separately)
Place behind or to the sides of the listening position.
■ Front speaker unit
Place the front speaker unit on top of the television and align the front surface of the speakers with the front surface of the television monitor. For details on placement, refer to page 7. If the system cannot be placed on top of the television, place it on a rack beneath the television as close to the television monitor as possible.
■YAMAHA rear speakers NX-AVS70 (sold separately)
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.
1Turn off the television.
2Wait awhile and turn the television back on.
6
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.
PREPARATION
1Peel 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.
Rough surface |
Front speaker |
|
(bottom panel) |
Protrusion
2Place the front speaker unit where it is to be installed (ex. on top of the television ) to determine where to apply the velcro strip with the smooth surface.
Position so that the position of the velcro strip stuck to the front speaker unit matches that of the velcro strip stuck to the top of the television.
3Peel off the seal of the velcro strip with the smooth surface and apply to the positions determined in step 2.
Peel off the seal.
Smooth surface
4Align both the velcro strip on both sides and firmly press downward on the top of the front
speaker unit.
Press down.
Note
• Once the front speaker unit is secured in this way, the paint on the television surface used for installation may peel off when velcro strip is removed later. Be sure to apply velcro strip after carefully checking the surface to be used for installation.

INSTALLATION
Using the Height Adjustment Brackets
1Loosen the screws securing the adjustment bracket.
■To further stabilize and prevent falling
Wire attachment hole
Loosen the screws.
2Lower the bracket so that the front speaker unit is level and securely tighten the screws.

|
speaker unit so that it |
|
|
|
is level. |
|
Secure the front speaker unit to the wall by attaching sufficiently strong wire to the wire attachment hole on the adjustment bracket. This prevents falling in two ways when this method is used together with velcro strip. This can prevent damage caused by the front speaker falling.
Note
• Please provide wire separately.
CAUTION
Never place anything on top of the front speaker unit.
8
CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
Always be sure to turn off the power of the main unit and any component to be connected when making connections.
To ensure proper connections
•Connect the white plug of the connection cord to the left “L” (white) audio signal terminal and connect the red plug to the right “R”(red) terminal.
•Insert the plug securely. If the plug is not inserted securely, noise may result or sound may not be output.
•Since the method of connection and terminal names differ depending on the component being used, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals for all components being connected.
•After connections have been made, check one more time that wiring has been made properly.
