Natural Sound Center Speaker System

Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NS-C103 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.

CONNECTION TO YOUR AMPLIFIER

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 red and the other side is black. Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier and the speakers using this red side. Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the black side of the cable. If connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

● To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not place the speaker where it is 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.

● 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.
