vibration, dust, moisture, and/or cold.

3 Locate this unit away from other electrical appliances, motors,

or transformers to avoid humming sounds.

4 Do not expose this unit to sudden temperature changes from

cold to hot, nor locate this unit in an environment with high humidity (i.e., a room with a humidifier) to prevent condensation inside this unit, which may cause an electrical shock, fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

5 Avoid installing this unit in a location where foreign objects

may fall onto this unit or where this unit may be exposed to liquid dripping or splashing. On the top of this unit, do not place:

– Other components, as they may cause damage and/or

discoloration on the surface of this unit.

– Burning objects (i.e., candles), as they may cause fire,

damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

– Containers with liquid in them, as they may fall, spilling

the liquid and causing an electrical shock to the user and/ or damage to this unit.

6 Do not cover this unit with a newspaper, tablecloth, curtain,

etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If the temperature inside this unit rises, it may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

7 Do not plug in this unit to a wall outlet until all connections

are complete.

8 Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat,

possibly causing damage.

9 Do not use excessive force on switches, knobs and/or cords. 10 When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet,

grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.

11 Do not clean this unit with chemical solvents; this might

damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

12 Use only the voltage specified on this unit. Using this unit

with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than as specified.

13 To prevent damage by lightning, keep the power cord out and

outdoor antennas disconnected from a wall outlet or the unit during a lightning storm.

14 Do not attempt to modify or fix this unit. Contact qualified

YAMAHA service personnel when any service is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any reason.

When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (i.e., vacation), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

16 Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section on

common operating errors before concluding that this unit is faulty.

17 Before moving this unit, press STANDBY/ON to set the unit

in standby mode, then disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

— away from direct sunlight, heat sources,

18 Condensation will form when the surrounding temperature

changes suddenly. Disconnect the power cable from the outlet, then leave the unit alone.

19 When using the unit for a long time, the unit may become

warm. Turn the power off, then leave the unit alone for cooling.

20 Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power

plug can be reached easily.

FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS

To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot and fully insert. This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

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.

Laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

PREPARATION

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.

■ Placing the center speaker

When placing the center speaker on top of the TV, use the 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.

Fastener

Peel off the seal

NX-C302

Fastener

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

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

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.

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

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.

Hanging on a wall (NX-S301)

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.
