Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA NS-P210 Speaker Package.

CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.

●

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 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.

● As these speakers contain strong magnets (though all of

them are magnetically shielded types), avoid placing watches, magnetic tapes, etc. near them. Also, placing the speakers near a TV set may impair picture color. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV set.

Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents

●

as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

● 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.

For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below. Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR U.K. MODEL

IMPORTANT:

THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Blue: NEUTRAL Brown: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

For SW-P201 only

● Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,

contact your dealer.

● Do not use force on switches, controls or connection

wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires connected to other equipments. Never pull the wires themselves.

● Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section

regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

● When not planning to use this unit for a long period (ie.,

vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

●

To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug when there is an electric storm.

● Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will

radiate from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the walls, allowing enough space above, behind and on the both sides of the unit to prevent fire or damage. Furthermore, do not position with the rear panel facing down on the floor or other surfaces.

Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm above, behind and on both sides of the unit.

● Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may

cause a turntable to generate a howling sound. In such a case, move this unit away from the turntable.

● If you hear distorted noise (i.e., unnatural, intermittent

“rapping” or “hammering” sounds) coming from this unit, reduce the volume level. Extremely loud playing of a movie soundtrack’s low frequency, bass-heavy sounds or similarly loud popular music passages can damage this speaker system.

● VOLTAGE SELECTOR

(General model only) The VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel of this unit must be set for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC main supply. Voltages are 110-120/220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Standby mode If the POWER switch is set to the ON position and the AUTO STANDBY switch is set to the HIGH or LOW position, this unit turns into the standby mode when no signal is inputted to this unit. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

COMPONENTS OF THE PACKAGE

The speaker package “NS-P210” is designed for use in a multi-channel audio system such as a home theater system. The package includes two pairs of main/rear speakers (NX-210P), a center speaker (NX-C210) and a subwoofer system (SWP201).

Full-range acoustic-suspension speaker system

Full-range acoustic-suspension speaker system

Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System with a built-in power amplifier

● This subwoofer system employs Advanced YAMAHA Active Servo Technology which YAMAHA has developed for reproducing higher quality super-bass sound. (Refer to page 12 for details on Advanced YAMAHA Active Servo Technology.) This super-bass sound adds a more realistic, theater-in-the-home effect to your stereo system.

● This subwoofer can be easily added to your existing audio system by connecting to either the speaker terminals or the line output (pin jack) terminals of the amplifier.

● The AUTO STANDBY switch saves you the trouble of setting the POWER switch to the ON or OFF position.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

Before making connections, place all speakers in their respective positions. The positioning of the speakers is important because it controls the whole sound quality of this system. Place the speakers depending on your listening position by following the instructions below.

English

Speaker configuration

This speaker package employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2 main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer . The main speakers are used for main source sound. The rear speakers are used for surround sounds, and the center speaker is for center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer is for reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.

Note

In this speaker package, the same speakers (NX-210P) are used for the main and rear speakers.

Placing speakers

Main speakers: On both sides of and at approximately

the same height as the TV set.

Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing

slightly inward. About 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) from the floor.

Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers. Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so

critical because low bass tones are not highly directional. Refer to “Placing the subwoofer” below for a recommended positioning of the subwoofer.

m Placing the subwoofer

( : Subwoofer, : Main speaker)

Rear L

It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside of either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. Å .) The placement shown in fig. ı is also possible, however, if the subwoofer system is placed directly facing the wall, the bass effect may die because the sound from it and the sound reflected by the wall may cancel out each other. To prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer system at an angle as shown in fig. Å.

Note

There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough superbass sounds from the subwoofer when listening in the center of the room. This is because “standing waves” have been developed between two parallel walls and they cancel the bass sounds. In such a case, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. It also may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces by placing bookshelves etc. along the walls.

m Mounting the main and center speakers

Place the main speakers on a rack or on a shelf. Place the

center speaker on top of the TV, on a shelf or inside the TV rack so that it is stable. To obtain more stability and usefulness, we recommend that you mount these speakers on the provided mounting brackets (type A).

Mounting bracket (type A)

To mount the speakers on the mounting brackets (type A)

1 Attach the bracket to the bottom of the speaker by using

the provided screw (type A).

Screw (type A)

If you want to mount a speaker on a commercially available speaker stand (for the main/center/rear speakers)

2 Turn and/or slide the speaker on the bracket according

to your preference, and then tighten the screw.

Note Though this speaker is a magnetically shielded 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 TV so that there is no influence on TV picture.

E-4

The provided mounting bracket (type C) with 1 pair of screw holes (at an interval of 60 mm) can be used to mount the speaker on a speaker stand. * Those screw holes can be used with M4 screws only.

1 Attach the bracket to the bottom of the speaker by

using the provided screw (type A) so that the convex part of the bracket fits in the grooved part on the bottom of the speaker as shown on the left.

2 Mount the speaker on the speaker stand by using the

screw holes on the bracket.

Note

The mounting bracket (type C) is provided for each of 5 speakers.
