OWNER’S MANUAL
NS-C7HX
Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA NS-C7HX speaker system.
PRECAUTIONS
Read this before using the speakers.
●
To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
●
Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place – away from
windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration,
dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming
(transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock,
do not expose the speakers to rain or water.
● To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do
not place the speakers where they will be exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
● Do not place the following objects on the speakers:
Glass, china, etc.
If glass etc. falls by vibrations and breaks, it may cause
personal injury.
A burning candle etc.
If the candle falls by vibrations, it may cause fire and
personal injury.
A vessel with water in it
If the vessel falls by vibrations and water spills, it may
cause damage to the speakers, and/or you may get an
electric shock.
● Do not place the speakers where foreign objects such as
water drips might fall. It might cause a fire, damage to
the speakers, and/or personal injury.
Speaker System
● Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be
knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound performance.
● Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the
turntable can result in feedback.
● 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
speakers may be damaged.
●
When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher
than the nominal input power of the speakers, care should
be taken never to exceed the speakers’ maximum input.
●
Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents
as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
● Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact
qualified YAMAHA service personnel when any service
is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any
reasons.
● Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused
by improper placement or installation of speakers.
PLACING THE SPEAKER
Place the center speaker on the floor under the TV or inside
the TV rack so that it is stabilized. The center speaker
should be set in alignment with the center of the TV screen.
The positioning of the center speaker is important, because
it controls the whole sound quality of a multi channel
system. Set up the center speaker on the basis of your
listening position by following the owner’s manual supplied
with your amplifier.
IMPORTANT
Do not place the center speaker on top of the TV. If
placed, the speaker may fall and possibly cause
damage or personal injury.
Note
This speaker features a magnetically shielded design,
but there is still a chance that placing it too close to a
TV set might impair picture color. Should this happen,
move the speaker away from the TV set.

• Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the
speaker to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier
(or receiver) with the speaker cable.
• Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier (or receiver)
and the speaker using one side of the cable. Connect the
(–) terminals on both components using the other side of
the cable.
• Connect the speaker to the center terminals of your
amplifier, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If
the speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the
sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
How to connect:
1 Loosen the knob.
2 Insert the bare wire. [Remove the insulation coating at
the extremity of each speaker cable by twisting the
coating off.]
