PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

■ Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

■ To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

■ Do not connect audio equipment to the AC outlet on the rear panel if the equipment requires more power than the outlet is rated to provide.

■ Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before you finish all connections.

■ The voltage to be 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 a fire or other types of accidents causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than specified.

■ The sound level at a given volume setting depends on 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 unit with the volume control 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 cabinet. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.

To eliminate condensation:

•

CD pickup

Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).

•

Remote control

Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

■ To prevent a malfunction of this unit:

•

Do not use any non standard shaped disc (heart etc.) available on the market, because it may damage the unit.

•

Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it, because damage to the unit may result.

■ 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 unit 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 hum such as transformers and electric motors.

■ Do not operate this unit 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 cabinet assure proper ventilation of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the cabinet will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the unit in well-ventilated condition. Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind, 20 cm on the both sides and 30 cm above the top panel of the unit. Otherwise it may not only damage the unit, but also cause fire.

■ Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before starting an audio source play: increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.

■ When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

■ Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not defeated.

■ Do not use force on 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.

■ If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with this unit’s operation, move this unit away from such an appliance.

■ Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

(Recording Your Singing Voice and Karaoke Effects with the Music Source)

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a four-channel-five-speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels (used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging.

Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of prerecorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects. In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: a pair of front speakers, a pair of rear speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center speaker. (Refer to the

“Speaker configuration” shown below.) The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

Front L

Rear R

Rear L

Speaker configuration

(1)5-Speaker Configuration

This configuration is the most effective and recommended one. In this configuration, the center speaker is necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected, conversations will be output from the center speaker and the ambience will be excellent.

● Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL” position. (For details, refer to page 16.)

(2)4-Speaker Configuration

(without the center speaker)

The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the sound field program PRO LOGIC is selected, the center sound will be output from the left and the right front speakers, although the program 3 STEREO is useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of other programs can be almost the same as that of the 5speaker configuration.

● Be sure to set the center channel mode to the “PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 16.)

Note

As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in monaural. So, you may use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers. However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended when there are more than one listener in the listening room. When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your listening position.

Speaker placement

Front speakers: In normal position. Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing

slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. six feet) up from the floor.

Center speaker: Precisely between the front speakers.

Wall/ wall support

Only for customers who use the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system (separate purchase)

If you use the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system with this unit, read the following descriptions for mounting the NS-P30.

* “NS-P30” is the package number which includes the

YAMAHA speaker systems NX-E70 and NX-C70. NX-E70 is designed to be used as a rear effect speaker system, and NX-C70 is designed to be used as a center speaker system.

■ Mounting the rear speakers (NX-E70)

Mount the rear speakers on a shelf, rack or on the floor directly, or hang them on the wall.

To mount the rear speakers on a wall

1 Attach the provided mounting bracket to the rear of the

speaker by using the provided screws.

2 Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown in

the diagram, and hang the holes of the mounting bracket on the protruding screws.

* The holes are arranged so that the speakers can be

mounted in a side long, upright or upside-down way.

* Make sure that the screws are caught by a narrow part

of the holes securely.

Notes

●

Never attach the bracket to the speaker backwards.

●

Speaker cords should be connected to the speaker’s terminals after the bracket is attached to the speaker to prevent the speaker cords pressed between the speaker and the bracket.

English

WARNING:

●

Each speaker weighs 0.8 kg (1 lbs. 12 oz.). Do not mount them on thin plywood or soft wall surface material, as the screws may come out of the flimsy surface, causing the speakers to fall down and be damaged, or result in personal injury.

●

Do not fasten the speakers to wall with nails, adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause them to fall down.

●

To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the wall.

To hang in a side long way

Hang the speakers so that each of them faces inside as figured left.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

■ Mounting the center speaker (NX-C70)

Place the speaker on top of the TV or on the floor under the TV or inside the TV rack in a stable position.

When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling down, put the provided pads at four points on bottom of the speaker.

Notes

●

Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose area is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker. If placed, the speaker may drop out causing an injury to you.

●

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.
