CAUTION
CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.
1. To assure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
2. Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place — away
from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive
vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of
humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or
electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or
water.
3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the
unit, contact your dealer.
4. Do not use force on switches, controls or connection
cables. When moving the unit, first disconnect the
power cord and then the cables connected to other
component. Never pull the cables themselves.
5. The openings on the cover 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 area
to prevent fire and damage.
6. The voltage used must be the same as that specified
on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than
specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other
accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for
any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a
voltage other than that specified.
7. Digital signals generated by this unit may interfere
with other component such as tuners, receivers and
TVs. Move this unit farther away from such
component if interference is observed.
8. Always set the volume to the minimum level before
starting the audio source play. Increase the volume
gradually to an appropriate level after playback has
been started.
9. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical
solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.
10. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section
regarding common operating errors before
concluding that the unit is faulty.
11. When not planning to use this unit for a long period
of time (e.g., a vacation), disconnect the AC power
cord from the wall outlet.
12. To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC
power cord and disconnect the antenna cable when
there is an electrical storm.
13. Grounding or polarization — Precautions should be
taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit
is not defeated.
14. AC outlet — Do not connect audio component to the
AC outlet on the rear panel if that component
requires more power than the outlet is rated to
provide.
15. Though this speaker is a magnetic shielding type,
there may be some influence on a TV picture
depending on the type of TV or the placement of the
speaker. In such a case, place the speaker apart from
the TV so that there is no influence on TV picture.
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.
■ 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

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Although speakers should ideally be placed as shown below, satisfactory effects may be obtained even if you do not strictly
follow these guidelines.
■ Front speaker unit
Place the front speaker unit on top of the television and
align the front surface of the speakers with the front surface
of the television monitor. For details on placement, refer to
page 7. If the system cannot be placed on top of the
television, place it on a rack beneath the television as close
to the television monitor as possible.
■ YAMAHA rear speakers NX-AVS70
(sold separately)
Depending on room conditions, it is possible to place
YAMAHA rear speakers NX-AVS70 on shelves or hang
them on the wall. Speakers should be placed about 1.8 m
above the floor.
About 1.8 m
■ YAMAHA subwoofer SW-AVS70
(sold separately)
Place the subwoofer at the either right or left side of the
front speaker unit and facing slightly toward the center of
the room so that the sound from it and the sound reflected
by the wall should not cancel out each other. Try altering the
position of the subwoofer versus the listening position as the
relative position will affect the way the bass sounds.
CAUTION
Although the speakers in this unit are magnetically
shielded, they may still affect the color on the television
monitor when using the speakers on top of the television.
Adjust the relative positions of the speakers and the
television if this happen. Perform the following steps if
you are using a magnetically shielded television.
1 Turn off the television.
2 Wait awhile and turn the television back on.

INSTALLATION
To prevent the front speaker unit from falling, secure it with the provided velcro strip when placing it on a television or other
device. Also, use the height adjustment bracket on the rear of the front speaker unit when there is not enough space for
installation or when the surface is sloped.
Using the Velcro Strips
Precautions before installation
• Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the strip as this will weaken its adhesive strength.
• Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the velcro strip is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength is weakened if the
surface is dusty, oily or wet and that this may cause the front speaker unit to drop.
1 Peel off the seal of the velcro strip with the
rough surface and apply to the protrusions on
the bottom of the front speaker unit.
Wrap the strip tightly with
sides of the tape well
aligned with the edges of
the protrusion.
Rough surface

(bottom panel)
Protrusion
2 Place the front speaker unit where it is to be
installed (ex. on top of the television ) to
determine where to apply the velcro strip with
the smooth surface.
Position so that the position of the velcro strip stuck to
the front speaker unit matches that of the velcro strip
stuck to the top of the television.
3 Peel off the seal of the velcro strip with the
smooth surface and apply to the positions
determined in step 2.
Peel off the seal.
Smooth surface
4 Align both the velcro strip on both sides and
firmly press downward on the top of the front
speaker unit.
Press down.
Note
• Once the front speaker unit is secured in this way, the paint on the
television surface used for installation may peel off when velcro
strip is removed later. Be sure to apply velcro strip after carefully
checking the surface to be used for installation.
