Thank you for choosing the YAMAHA speaker system. In order to take maximum advantage of the speaker's features and ensure
maximum performance and longevity, please read this manual carefully before using the speaker system. Keep the manual in a
safe place for future reference.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Do not open Water warning

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts.
If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately
and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might
spill into any openings.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Location

• If you use a stand, make sure to observe the following precautions in
order to avoid toppling the device or causing damage to the internal
components.

- Check the stand’s specifications and make sure that it is sturdy enough to

support the weight of the speaker.

- Mount only one speaker on each speaker stand.

- Use the supplied screws if included.

-Tighten fastening screws securely.

- Use the speaker stands with their legs fully opened.

- Use the stand at a height of less than 140cm (55").

- Add weight such as sand bags around the stand legs to prevent them from

falling over.

- Remove the speakers from the stands before moving the stands or adjusting

their height.

- Limit the number of people around the placed stand.

We recommend using the TS-80 and TS-90 speaker stands manufactured
by Ultimate Systems (sold separately) to support the speakers.

• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or more
people. Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back,
result in other injury, or cause damage to the device itself.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• Do not use the speaker’s handles for suspended installation. Doing so
can result in damage or injury.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme
cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during
the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to
the internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.

Connections

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all
devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all
volume levels to minimum.

• Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker jacks.
Use of other types of cables may result in fire.

• Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance (see page 4),
particularly when connecting speakers in parallel. Connecting an
impedance load outside the amplifier's rated range can damage
the amplifier.

Handling caution

• When choosing a power amplifier to use with your speakers, make sure
that its power output matches the speakers’ power capacity (refer to the
Specifications on page 18). Even if the amplifier’s power output is lower
than the speakers’ PGM (program) power capacity, the speakers may be
damaged when clipping of a high input signal occurs. The following
may cause damage to speakers

- Feedback caused when using a microphone.

- Continuous high sound pressure level produced by electronic instruments.

- Continuous high-power output of distorted signals.

- Popping noises caused by turning on equipment, or by connecting or

disconnecting system components while the amplifier is turned on.

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the
power amplifier LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the
power off, the power amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the
same reason.

• Do not operate this device at high volume levels or at a level that is
uncomfortable, since it is capable of producing sound levels that could
cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any discomfort or
ringing in the ears, or suspect an hearing loss, you should consult
an audiologist.

ENGLISH

Special Notice

Protective Circuit (poly switch)

All full-range loudspeakers are fitted with a self-resetting poly switch that protects the high-frequency driver from damage caused by excessive power. If a loudspeaker
cabinet loses high-frequency output, immediately remove power from the unit and wait for two to three minutes. This should be long enough to allow the poly switch to
reset. Reapply power and check the performance of the high-frequency driver before continuing, with the power reduced to a level that does not cause the poly switch to
interrupt the signal.

• Illustrations in this manual are for explanatory purposes only, and may not match the actual appearance of the product during operation.

• Company names and product names used in this Owner’s Manual are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device.

Connecting the Speakers

Full-range Connection

Each speaker features two input / parallel connectors — two 1/4" phone jacks. Use one phone jack to receive
input from your sound system / power amplifier. The other phone jack can be used to parallel-connect an addi­tional speaker (keeping in mind the impedance considerations mentioned below).

Impedance Considerations

When connecting speakers in parallel be sure to check
the rated load impedance of the power amplifier. Most
power amplifiers are capable of safely driving speakers
with minimum impedance of 8 ohms or 4 ohms. A pair
of parallel-connected 8-ohm speakers have a total
impedance of 4 ohms. Two 8-ohm speakers can safely
be paralleled on one output. 4-ohm speakers, however,

R

should not be parallel-connected with other speakers.
These models can be connected in parallel, however, if
you are using a power amplifier that can safely drive
load impedances of 2 ohms or lower. Check your
speaker impedance on page 18.

Phone Plug Wiring

Phone plugs for connection to the phone jack inputs should be wired as
shown to the right. Be sure to use proper speaker cable — NOT shielded
instrument or line cable — for all speaker connections.
