PREPARATION
To enjoy quality sound thoroughly, place this system in the appropriate positions, and install the components
properly. The following illustrations are the setting images of this system.
Example 1 : Placing the speakers on the rack Example 2 : Mounting the speakers on the wall
@ Subwoofer integrated receiver (SR-300)
@ Speakers (NS-B380)
• Do not place this system on/under any other components such as Blu-ray disc player m a pile. The vibration of this system
may cause system failure, etc. in other components.
• Keep enough ventilation space on the front, rear, and bottom side (that attached legs) of this system. Do not place this
system on a thick carpet etc.
• If the picture on your CRT TV screen becomes blurred or distorted, we recommend moving the system away from your TV.
• Low frequency sound produced by the subwoofer integrated receiver may be heard differently depending on the listening
position and subwoofer location. To enjoy desired sounds, try changing the location of the subwoofer integrated receiver.
• Depending on your installation environment, connections to external components can be done before installing this system.
We recommend that you temporarily place and arrange all components in order to decide which procedure is best done first.
• Set the distance between the speakers to increase surround effect. (_ P. 20)
You can place the speakers on a rack or attach it to a wall. Select an installation method that suits your environment.
• Placing the speakers using the stands
You can place the speakers in an upright position or a horizontal position.
When placing the speakers in an upright
position
Place the speaker on the stand vertically, and then secure
it with the screw as shown in the illustration below.
When placing the speakers in a horizontal
position
Place the speaker on the stand horizontally, and then
secure it with the screw as shown in the illustration
below.

• Attaching the speakers to a wall
Installing the speakers using the keyholes
You can attach the speakers to a wall using
commercially available screws (#8, Diameter: 7 to 9
mm (1/4" to 3/8")).
When installing the speakers on a wall, all
installation work must be performed by a
qualified contractor or dealer. The customer
must never attempt to perform this installation
work. Improper or inadequate installation could
cause the speakers to fall, resulting in personal
injury.
When placing the speakers on a wall,
remove the stands.
Install screws on a wall as shown in the
illustration.
The distance between the screws: 150
mm (5-7/8") for both sides
• Do not attach the speakers to a wall that is made of weak
materials such as plaster or veneered woods. Doing so
may cause the speakers to fall.
• Use commercially available screws that can support the
weight of the installation.
• Make sure you use specified screws to attach the speakers.
Using clamps other than specified screws, such as short
screws, nails, or two-sided tape, may cause the speakers to
fall.
• When connecting the speakers, fix the speaker cables in
place where they will not become loose. If your foot or
hand accidentally gets caught on a loose speaker cable, the
speakers may fall.
• After attaching the speakers, check that the speakers are
fixed securely. Yamaha will bear no responsibility for any
accidents caused by improper installations.
Hang the speakers on the screws using
the keyholes on the back of the speakers.
