For the best possible surround sound, all of the speakers (except the subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance
from the listening position.

1 Front 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.

2 Center Speaker

Place 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.

3 Surround Speakers (L, R)

Place the surround left/right speakers behind the listening position. (For NX-S301, we recommend placing them at a height of 1.8 m
(6 feet) and pointing them at the listening position.)
Main roles: Produces surround sounds and effect sounds.

4 Subwoofer

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.

Note

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.

supplied fasteners to secure the speaker.

NX-C301

Attaching to a wall

You can attach the speakers to a wall using commercially
available screws (Diameter: 3.5 to 4 mm, Length: 25 mm
or more). Each speaker requires two screws.

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 adhensive force and cause the speaker to
fall.this installation. Use metric screw threads only.

2 Hang the speaker on the screws using the holes in the

back 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.

– When connectiong the speakers, fix the speaker

cables in place so that cables do not loosen. If your
foot or hand accidentally gets caught on a loose
speaker cable, the speaker may fall.

– After attaching each speaker, check that the

speaker is fixed securely. YAMAHA will bear no
reponsibility for any accidents caused by improper
installations.
