the seal
1 Peel off the seals on one side of the fasteners and
attach them to the bottom of the center speaker.
2 Peel off the seals on the other side of the fasteners and
attach them to the top of the TV.
Notes
– Do not place the speaker on the TV if the top of the TV is
uneven or narrower than the bottom surface of the
speaker. Doing so may cause the speaker to fall. In this
case, place the speaker inside a TV rack or on a level
floor.
– Before attaching the fasteners to the TV, clean the surface
with a dry cloth. A dirty or wet surface may weaken the
adhesive force and cause the speaker to fall.
– Do not touch the bonding surfaces of the fasteners after
peeling off the seals. Doing so may weaken the adhesive
force and cause the speaker to fall.

1 Install two screws in the wall where you want to place
the speaker.
2 Hang the speaker on the screws using the holes in the
rear of the speaker.
Notes
– To attach a speaker to a wall using screws, the wall must
be firm. Do not attach a speaker to a wall that is made of
weak materials such as plaster or veneered woods. Doing
so may cause the speaker to fall.
– After attaching each speaker, check that the speaker is
fixed securely. YAMAHA will bear no responsibility for
any accidents caused by improper installations.
Hanging on a wall (NX-F300, NX-S300)
You can hang the speakers on a wall using a
commercially available bracket and screws (Diameter:
6 mm). Attach a bracket firmly to the rear of the
speakers using screws. Then mount a screw on the
wall where the speaker is to be hung and hook the
speaker securely onto the mounted screws.
Note
Do not use screw threads measured in inches for this
installation. Use metric screw threads only.

GLOSSARY
Analog
Sound that has not been turned into numbers.
Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific
numerical values. These jacks send audio through two
channels, the left and right.
Aspect ratio
Horizontal and vertical ratio of a displayed image. The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TV is 4:3,
and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
Bit
Short for binary digit. Represents the smallest unit of
information manipulated on a computer. In audio
systems, the bit size determines resolution to digitize
analog signals.
The larger the bit size, the larger the dynamic range
(the ratio of maximum and minimum frequency level)
and the finer the sounds. Generally, an audio CD is 16
bit and DVD audio is 24 bit.
Bit rate
The amount of data used to hold a given length of
music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Also,
the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher
the bit rate, or recording speed, the better the sound
quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a
disc.
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
Jacks for inputting or outputting a component video
signal.Component video signal consists of three lines,
the luminance signal (Y) and two color difference

quality video.
DivX
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX,
inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video
with high visual quality that maintains a relatively
small file size. DivX files can also include advanced
media features like menus, subtitles, and alternate
audio tracks. Many DivX media files are available for
download online, and you can create your own using
your personal content and easy-to-use tools from
DivX.com.

Dolby Digital
Digital surround sound system which is developed by
Dolby Laboratories provides completely independent
multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (left, center,
and right) and 2 surround stereo channels, Dolby
Digital provides five full-range audio channels. With
an additional channel especially for bass effects (called
LFE, or low frequency effect), the system has a total of
5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By using
2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more
accurate moving sound effects and surround sound
environment are possible than with Dolby Surround.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II
It is an improved matrix decoding technology that
provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby
Surround programme material; provides a convincing
three-dimensional soundfield on conventional stereo
music recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the
surround experience to automotive sound. While
conventional surround programming is fully
compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II
decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded
specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II
playback, including separate left and right surround
channels. (Such material is also compatible with
conventional Pro Logic decoders.)
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital surround sound system developed by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc., which provides 5.1 channel
audio (max). With an abundance of audio data, it is
able to provide authentic-sounding effects.
Interlace
The most common type of scanning used in televisions.
It divides a screen into even and odd numbered fields
for scanning, and then builds an image by combining
them into one image (frame).
JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group)
A standardized image compression system proposed by
the Joint Photographic Expert Group. It can reduce
image data sizes to 1 to 10% of their original sizes, and
works on digital photographs effectively.

GLOSSARY
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)
An audio file compression technology. It can reduce
audio data sizes to about 10% of their original sizes
while maintaining CD-level audio quality.
MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group)
International standard for digital video and audio
compression generated by ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) and IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission).
Includes MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-3. MPEG-1
offers VHS level video quality and is often used on
video CDs. MPEG-2 offers S-VHS level video quality
and is often used on DVDs.
Parental control
Limits Disc play according to the age of the users or
the limitation level in each country. The limitation
varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback
will be prohibited if the software’s level is higher than
the user-set level.
Playback control (PBC)
An on-screen menu recorded on a Video CD or SVCD
that enables interactive playback and searching.
Progressive Scan
A method of displaying all scanning lines in a frame at
once, reducing flicker noticeable on a larger screen and
creating a sharp and smooth image.
Region code
Many DVD discs include a region code so that the
copyright owner can control DVD software distribution
only to regions where they are ready to
distribute. There are six regions codes, which restrict a
DVD receiver to playing a DVD disc with the same
region code.
S-video output
A jack for inputting or outputting an S-video signal.
S-video signal consists of two lines, the luminance
signal (Y) and color signal (C), which enable to
provide high-quality video during playback or
recording.
Super Audio CD
Audio format based upon the current CD standards but
includes a greater amount of information that provides
higher quality sound. There are three types of discs:
single layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The hybrid
disc can be played on existing CD players as well as
Super Audio CD players since it contains both standard
audio CD and Super Audio CD information.
