Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NS-P30 speaker system.

“NS-P30” is the package number which includes the YAMAHA speaker systems NX-E70 and NX-C70.

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.

● To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not place the speaker where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.

CONNECTION TO YOUR AMPLIFIER

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

NX-E70 is designed to be used as an effect speaker system, and NX-C70 is designed to be used as a center speaker system.

● 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.

●

As these speakers contain strong magnets, 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 TV set away from the speakers.

● 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.

NX-C70 (Center speaker)

■ NX-E70

● Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals (for effect speakers) of your amplifier (or receiver) with the provided speaker cables.

● One side of the speaker cable has a white line and the other side has no line. Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier (or receiver) and the speakers using the side with a white line. Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the side with no line.

● Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier (or receiver), and another speaker to the right (marked R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If one speaker is 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.

■ NX-C70

To connect the speaker cable from NX-C70 to the speaker output terminals (for a center speaker) on the amplifier (or receiver), make sure to connect the side with a white line to the (+) terminal and the side with no line to the (–) terminal.

Note Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker and/or the amplifier.

NX-E70 (Effect speaker)

MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS

■ NX-E70

Mount the speakers on a shelf, rack or on the floor directly, or hang them on the wall.

To mount the speakers on a wall

1 Attach the provided mounting bracket to the rear of the

speaker by using the provided screws.

2 Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown in the

diagram, and hang the holes of the mounting bracket on the protruding screws. * The holes are arranged so that the speakers can be

mounted in a side long, upright or upside-down way.

* Make sure that the screws are caught by a narrow part of

the holes securely.

To hang in a side long way

Hang the speakers so that each of them faces inside as figured below.

WARNING:

● Each speaker weighs 0.8 kg (1 lbs. 12 oz.). Do not mount them on thin plywood or soft wall surface material, as the screws may come out of the flimsy surface, causing the speakers to fall down and be damaged, or result in personal injury.

● Do not fasten the speakers to wall with nails, adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause them to fall down.

● To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the wall.

●

Speaker cords should be connected to the speaker’s terminals after the bracket has attached to the speaker to prevent the speaker cords pressed between the speaker and the bracket.

■ NX-C70

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 pads at four points on bottom of the speaker.

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