NS-C80

Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NS-C80 speaker system.
This model is designed mainly to be used as a center speaker system.

PRECAUTIONS

Read these precautions carefully before operating
your speaker.

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

• Anytime you note distortion, reduce the volume
control on your power amplifier/receiver to a lower
setting. Never allow your power amplifier to be
driven into “clipping”.

• Secure placing is the owner’s responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable to any accident
caused by an improper placing of the speaker.

PLACING THE SPEAKER

Notes

• The speaker should be placed so that it is
stabilized (with its wide surface down).
Do not place the speaker on either end or with its
narrow surface down.

• Though this speaker is a magnetic shielding
type, there may be an influence on TV picture
according to the type of TV or the placement of
the speaker. In such a case, place the speaker

TV set

apart from the TV so that there is no influence on
TV picture.

CONNECTION TO

YOUR AMPLIFIER

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

m CONNECTIONS

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

• Make sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If

connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.

Procedures:
1 Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in

the figure.

2 Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal

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

3 Remove your finger from the tab to allow it to lock

snugly on the cable’s wire end.

4 Test the security of the connection by tugging

lightly on the cable at the terminal.
