SPEAKER SETUP

■ Roles and layout of the speakers

To enjoy quality sounds you need to place the speakers in their appropriate positions and install them correctly.The following shows the recommended layout of the speakers. For the best possible surround sound, all of the speakers (except the subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

speaker (L)

speaker (R)

1Front Speakers (L, R)

Place the front left/right speakers on both sides of your TV at equal distances. Main roles: Produces front channel (stereo) sounds and effect sounds.

2Center Speaker

Place the center speaker on top of the TV or inside the TV rack so that the speaker and TV are aligned vertically. Main role: Produces sounds oriented toward the center of the screen such as dialogues or vocal sounds.

3Surround Speakers (L, R)

Place the surround left/right speakers behind the listening position. Main roles: Produces surround sounds and effect sounds.

4Subwoofer

Place the subwoofer near a front speaker and turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections. Main roles: Produces bass sounds and low frequency (LFE) sounds contained in Dolby Digital or DTS.

Notes

–To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV.

–Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD receiver and subwoofer.

–Bass sounds produced by the subwoofer may be heard differently depending on the listening position and subwoofer location. To enjoy desired sounds, try to change the location of the subwoofer according to the listening position.

■ Placing the speakers

Placing the center speaker (NX-C300)

When placing the center speaker on the top of the TV, use the supplied fasteners to secure the speaker.

Fastener

Peel off the seal

1Peel off the seals on one side of the fasteners and attach them to the bottom of the center speaker.

2Peel 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.

SPEAKER SETUP

Attaching to a wall

You can attach the speakers to a wall using commercially available screws (Diameter: 3.5 to 4 mm

(1/8” to 5/32”), Length: 25 mm (1”) or more). Each 2 speaker requires two screws.

2Hang 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.

■ Connecting an HDMI component

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital A/V (audio/video) interface.

By connecting to an HDMI component (such as a TV), you can enjoy standard, enhanced or highdefinition video as well as multi-channel digital audio using a single cable.

When used in combination with HDCP (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure audio/video interface that meets the security requirements of content providers and system operators.

For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at “http://www.hdmi.org/”.
