CONSUMER PRECAUTIONS

Read these precautions carefully before setting up
your NS-IC600/NS-IC800 speakers.

• When mounting these speakers, be sure to work with two or
more persons for safety.

• Do not attach them to thin plywood or soft ceiling surface
materials as the screws may tear free, causing the speakers to
fall and become damaged, or result in personal injury.

•Do not fasten the speakers to a ceiling with nails, adhesives, or
other unsafe hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may
cause them to pull free.

• Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be knocked
over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also
ensure better sound performance.

•Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact qualified
Yamaha service personnel when any service is needed.

• Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents
as this might damage the finish. To clean, wipe with a dry, soft
cloth.

• Secure placement or installation is the owner's
responsibility. Yamaha shall not be liable for any accident
caused by improper placement or installation of speakers.

NS-IC600 NS-IC800

• When installing your NS-IC600/NS-IC800 in-ceiling speakers, be aware of the product weight (See specification
page) and the sturdiness of the material into which you are installing the speaker.

•Be aware of any concealed studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the ceiling into which you are installing the

speakers. If you are not sure of a safe way to install these speakers, consult a professional inst

aller or a building

contractor.

CAUTION

• When installing the speaker, do not touch the woofer or tweeter units with your hands or expose them to excessive physical
shock. If they are dented or bent, the sound will be distorted.

NOTE

• If you wish to paint the speaker grille, refer to page 6 “PAINTING THE SPEAKER GRILLE” before proceeding.

How to install

This is the recommended installation procedure when
the material of the installation location is plasterboard.

1 Position the cutout template where you are

installing the speaker.

2 Tr ace a line around the template with a pencil.

The mark for the center of the hole is also
required.

3 Drill the pilot hole at the center mark made on the

ceiling.

English

5 Insert the tip of a keyhole saw into the pilot hole,

and then cut all of the way around the circular

outline.

WARNING

• When using a keyhole saw or cutting tool, use safety goggles
for eye protection and be sure to observe all safety precautions.

6 Pull the speaker cable out of the hole which you

have cut.

•Leave some extra length of cable when pulling the cable
out.

WARNING

• When using a drill or cutting tool, use safety goggles for eye
protection and be sure to observe all safety precautions.

4 To check the space behind the hole, insert a bent

sturdy wire (such as a coat hanger) into the hole,
and then slowly rotate the wire to check for any

obstruction.

• If there is any obstruction, patch the hole and select
another location.

360°

7 Connect the speaker cable to the speaker.

•For detailed instructions, refer to page 6

“CONNECTING YOUR AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER”.

8 Place the speaker into the ceiling.

CAUTION

• When installing the speaker, do not touch the tweeter dome
or woofer cone directly. This may cause a malfunction.

•Make sure that mounting clamps are turned inward when
installing the speaker in a ceiling.

4 En

9 Insert the speaker into the hole. Loosen four

screws approximately one turn counter-

clockwise. It will allow the clamps to open easily.

Loosen

Evenly tighten each of the four mounting screws
clockwise using a Philips screwdriver. (At this
time, these four mounting clamps open in the
ceiling. These opened clamps will press the
ceiling board and the speaker together to secure
the speaker.) Tighten screws until the mounting
clamps sufficiently grip the ceiling. Tighten the
screws firmly to secure the speaker to the ceiling.

10 Adjust the angle of the tweeter.

• Gently press the outer edge of the tweeter housing
toward the listening position.

•This tweeter movable angle is about 15° in multiple
directions.

CAUTION

• When adjusting the tweeter, do not rotate it. This may cause
the breakage of the tweeter.

11 Attach the speaker grille to the speaker.

•As several magnets are on the speaker frame, attach
the grille to the frame directly. When attaching the
grille, make sure that the grille is attached to the
speaker securely to keep the grille from falling.

Tighten

CAUTION

• When tightening the screws, do not screw too tightly. This
may cause breakage of the mounting clamps and fracture of
the wallboard.

• We recommend using only hand tools as power screwdrivers
may over-tighten the screws. Should you use a power
screwdriver be certain to select a very low torque setting to
prevent damage to the speaker or to the wallboard.

•Make sure that none of the screws are loose and that there

are no g

aps between the speaker and the ceiling.

HINT

• Tighten the screws in order of
opposite sides rather than
clockwise or counter-clockwise
direction (such as right and left,
then top and bottom).

CAUTION

•Be very careful when removing the grille, as it may fall or
cause injury. Also, try to place an equal amount of pressure
on the circumference when removing the grille. The grille
may bend if too much pressure is placed in one location.

CONNECTING YOUR AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER

Before making connections, make sure that the
amplifier/receiver is switched off.

• When connecting, also refer to the owner’s manual of the
connected equipment.

Connections

• Connect the push input terminals at the rear of the
speakers to the speaker output terminals of the
amplifier/receiver with the speaker cables (not included).

• Connect each speaker making sure not to reverse the
polarity “+” (red), “–” (black). If the speaker is
connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.

How to connect

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation

from the end of each speaker cable using wire
strippers, and then twist the exposed wires of the
cable together to prevent short circuits.

2 Press and hold down the speaker terminal.
3 Insert the bare wire into the hole in the side of

each terminal.

After connecting

• Lower the power amplifier/receiver volume control
before changing input sources. Never change input
sources (for example, FM to CD) at high listening
levels. Always turn the receiver/amplifier unit off when
installing or removing any cables.

• Anytime you note distortion, reduce the volume
control on your power amplifier/receiver to a lower
setting. Never allow your power amplifier to be driven
into “clipping”.

PAINTING THE SPEAKER GRILLE

The speaker grilles can be painted to match your room
décor. Use high quality spray paint and select a well
ventilated area before proceeding.

1 Carefully remove the grille from the speaker if

attached.

2 Remove the scrim cloth that is attached to the

back of the grille. (The adhesive that holds the
cloth in place is reusable.)

3 Apply the paint to the grille.

•Make sure that the grille holes remain free of paint.

• Clogging the holes with paint may diminish the sound
quality.

4 When the paint has fully dried, re-attach the

scrim cloth to the back of the grille.

5 Re-install the grille on the speaker.
