FCC INFORMATION (for US customers only)
YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring
or distortion – and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing.
Since hearing damage from loud sounds is often
undetectable until it is too late, YAMAHA and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group recommend you to avoid
prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.

PRECAUTIONS
■ To assure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
■ Choose the installation location of this system
carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to
a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to
vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.
Keep it away from sources of humming such as
transformers and electric motors.
■ Do not operate this system upside-down. It may
overheat, possibly causing damage.
■ Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the
set, contact your dealer.
■ The openings on the surface of the power
amplifier/subwoofer unit assure proper ventilation of
the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the
temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly.
Therefore, avoid placing objects against these
openings, and install the unit in a well-ventilated
place. Make sure to allow a space of at least
10 cm behind, 10 cm on the both sides and 20 cm
above the top panel of the unit, and never use the
unit with the unit laid down on the floor. Doing so
may not only damage the unit, but also cause a fire.
■ Always set the volume setting to minimum before
starting play of an audio source. Increase the volume
gradually to an appropriate level.
■ When not planning to use this system for long
periods of time (such as during vacation), disconnect
the AC power plug from the wall outlet.
■ Do not use excessive force on the switches, controls
or connection wires. When moving the unit, first
disconnect the power plug and the wires connected
to other equipment. Never pull the wire itself.
■ Do not attempt to clean the system with chemical
solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.
■ Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section
regarding common operating errors before
concluding that the system is faulty.
■ To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC
power plug and the antenna cable when there is an
electrical storm.
■ Do not plug the AC power plug into the wall outlet
before you finish all connections.
■ The voltage to be used must be the same as that
specified on this system. Using this unit with a higher
voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and
may result in a fire or other type of accident causing
damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for
any damage resulting from use of this system with a
voltage other than that which is specified.
■ The sound level at a given volume setting depends
on the speaker location and other factors. Care
should be taken to avoid exposure to sudden high
levels of sound which may occur when turning on the
system with the volume setting at high, and to
continuous high levels of sound.
■ Sudden temperature changes and storage or
operation in an extremely humid environment may
cause condensation inside the system.
Condensation can cause the system to malfunction.
To eliminate condensation:
•
Remote control
Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window
with a soft cloth before operating the system.
■ Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident
caused by improper placement or installation of
this system.
PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING THIS SYSTEM
IMPORTANT
Please record the serial number of this system in
the space below.
Serial No.:
The serial number is located on the rear of the
power amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AVS7).
Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future
reference.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this system to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
MAIN POWER switch
The U.K. and Europe models are equipped with a
MAIN POWER switch on the rear bottom panel of
the power amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AVS7).
Setting this to ON switches the AV-S7 system to
STANDBY mode. To power on the system, press
the STANDBY/ON button on the center speaker or
the POWER button on the remote control
transmitter.
For U.K. customers
If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the
plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off
and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to
the instructions described below.
Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be
destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR U.K. MODEL
IMPORTANT
THE WIRES IN THE MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is
coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
Make sure that neither core is connected to the
earth terminal of the three pin plug.
PRECAUTIONS
This system is still connected to the AC power
source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the system itself is turned off.
In this state, this system is designed to consume a
very small quantity of power. Pressing the
STANDBY/ON button (or POWER button) lights up
the STANDBY indicator and puts the system into
standby. This is called STANDBY mode.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR (FOR GENERAL AND
CHINA MODELS ONLY)
The voltage selector on the bottom of the power
amplifier/subwoofer (SW-AVS7) must be set for
your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into
the AC main supply.
Voltages are 110/120/220/240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Loading the batteries for the
remote control transmitter
1 Remove the battery compartment cover.
(Slide the cover in the direction of the arrow.)
2 Insert 2 “AA” size batteries (UM/SUM-3, R6, HP-7 or
equivalent) into the battery compartment.
* Installing the batteries improperly may cause
failure.
3 Replace the battery compartment cover.
Precautions for battery use
•
Insert the batteries according to the direction
indicated in the battery compartment.
•
Replace all batteries with new ones at the same
time.
•
Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the unit
will not be used for a long period of time.
•
Do not mix normal batteries with rechargeable
batteries.
Proper use of the remote control
transmitter
Aim the remote control transmitter at the remote control
sensor (within a 60° range with no obstacles) and
operate as shown.
Notes concerning use
•
Replace the batteries if the control distance
decreases or operation becomes unstable.
•
Periodically clean the transmitter window on the
remote control transmitter and the sensor on the
center speaker with a soft cloth.
•
Exposing the sensor on the center speaker to strong
light (such as an inverter-type fluorescent lamp) may
interfere with operation. In this case, reposition the
center speaker to avoid direct light.
•
Keep the remote control transmitter away from
moisture, excessive heat, shock and vibrations.
•
The remote control transmitter’s range is from 0.2m
(8”) to 6m (20’) from the sensor.

OUTLINE OF THIS SYSTEM
• The AV-S7 system consists of the SW-AVS7, NX-AVS7 and the NX-AV1.
This system is a multi-channel audio system which consists of the units shown below.
By driving 6 speakers, the built-in digital sound field processor (DSP) creates various kinds of Yamaha original digital
sound fields simulating an actual concert hall, live house and other venues. When watching a movie source, the builtin Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder and the digital sound field processor turn your room into a movie theater with
tremendous impact.
Ultra-low bass reproduced by the subwoofer (SW-AVS7) makes sound more real and powerful.
This system will give you great enjoyment in watching TV and playing various audio sources.
