Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NS-10MM speaker system.

PRECAUTIONS

Read these precautions carefully before using your speaker.

● Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control on
your amplifier to a lower setting. Never allow your amplifier to
be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise the speaker may be
damaged.

● When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher than
the nominal input power of the speaker, care should be taken
never to exceed the speaker’s maximum input.

● Do not attempt to clean the speaker with chemical solvents as
this might damage the finish. To clean, wipe with a dry, soft
cloth.

● To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not
place the speaker where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or
excessive humidity.

● Do not place the speaker where it is liable to be knocked over
or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also ensure
better sound performance.

● Placing the speaker on the same shelf or rack as the turntable
can result in feedback.

● This speaker system is designed for home use only. Never use
this speaker system inside a car.

● Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused by
improper placement or installation of the speaker.

■ TO MOUNT THE SPEAKERS ON A WALL

➀ Attach the provided mounting bracket to the rear of the

speaker by using the provided screws.

➁ Remove the provided pads from the paper, and put the pads

at both ends on the lower side of the speaker.

PLACING THE SPEAKERS

■ TO STAND THE SPEAKERS

● Place the speakers on a sturdy, vibration-free surface. If you
cannot obtain good bass quality when the speakers are placed
directly on the floor, insert a block etc. between the speakers
and the floor.

● Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are
slightly angled in towards the listeners.

Note
Because this speaker is not 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.

➂ 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.

➃ Make sure that the screws are caught by a narrow part of

the holes securely.

WARNING:
* Each speaker weighs 1.5 kg (3 lbs. 5 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.

REMOVING THE FRONT COVER

BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE THAT THE
AMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF.

■ CONNECTIONS

● Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear of the
speakers to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier with
the provided speaker cables.

● One side of the speaker cable is marked by a blue line.
Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier and the
speakers using this blue-marked side. Connect the (–)
terminals on both components using the unmarked side of the
cable.

● Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your
amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked R)
terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If one
speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.

Procedures:

➀ Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in the figure.
➁ Insert the bare speaker wire end properly into the terminal

hole. [Remove approx. 5 mm (1/4”) insulation from the
speaker cable.]

➂ Remove your finger from the tab to allow it to lock snugly on

the cable’s wire end.

➃ Test the security of the connection by tugging lightly on the

cable at the terminal.

The front cover is fastened to the enclosure at four points, and
can be removed if desired. To remove the cover, hold on to both
sides and slowly pull straight away from the speaker. To
reattach, line up the four holes on the inside surface of the cover
with the four corresponding pegs on the speaker and push
gently.

Note
When the cover is removed, take care not to touch the
speaker units with your hands or to exert excessive force
with tools.

You can also use the screw holes on the bottom of the speaker
for installing the speakers (if you not use the provided
mounting brackets).

A screw with a diameter of 4 mm and a pitch
of 0.7 mm can be used.

Note
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this
could damage the speaker and/or the amplifier.
