Natural Sound Center Speaker System

PRECAUTIONS

This model is designed to be used as a center speaker
system.

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.

● 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.

PLACING THE SPEAKER

Place the speaker on top of the TV or on the floor under
the TV or inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized.
When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the
speaker from falling down, put the provided velcro strips at
two points on both bottom of the speaker and top of the
TV.

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.

CONNECTION TO YOUR AMPLIFIER

SPECIFICATIONS

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

■ CONNECTIONS

● Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear of the
speaker 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 the amplifier and the
speaker 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.

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.
