2-way acoustic-suspension speaker system
<Center speaker (NS-C103)>
2-way 3-speaker bass-reflex speaker system
<Effect speakers (NS-E103)>
Full-range bass-reflex speaker system
<Subwoofer (SW-P30)>
Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System with a
built-in power amplifier
This subwoofer system employs YAMAHA Active Servo
•
Technology which YAMAHA have developed for
reproducing higher quality super-bass sound. (Refer to page
14 for details on Active Servo Technology.)
This unit can be added easily to your existing audio system
•
by connecting to either the speaker terminals or the line
output (pin jack) terminals of the amplifier.
The HIGH CUT switch provides you with two positions

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 it will be exposed to direct
sunlight or excessive humidity.
●
Do not place the speakers where it is 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 TV set.
●
Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical
solvents; 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 the speakers.
For canadian customers
To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide
slot and fully insert.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian
ICES–003.
<For SW-P30 only>
●
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,
contact your dealer.
●
Do not use force on switches, controls or connection cords.
When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and
the cords connected to other equipment. Never pull the
cords itself.
●
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 long periods of time
(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 electrical storm.
●
Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate
from the rear panel. Therefore, place the unit apart from the
walls, allowing enough space above, behind and on the both
sides of the unit to prevent fire and damage. Also, do not
position with the rear panel facing down on the floor or other
surface.
<For Europe and Singapore models only>
Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm above, behind
and on the 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 distortion (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.
This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as
long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit
itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode.
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.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
A
B
Before you make connections, place all speakers in their proper positions respectively. The positioning of speakers is important,
because it controls the whole sound quality of this system.
Position the speakers based on your listening position by following instructions in this section.
English
Speaker configuration
This system employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2 main
speakers, 2 effect speakers, a center speaker and a
subwoofer.
The main speakers are used for main source sound. The effect
speakers are used for effect and surround sounds, and the
center speaker is for center sounds (dialog etc.). The
subwoofer is for reinforcing low frequencies on your audio
system.
Main L Center Main R
Subwoofer
Placing speakers
Main speakers: On both sides of the TV and almost the
same height as the TV.
Effect speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6
feet) up 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” shown
below for a recommended positioning of
the subwoofer.

■ Placing the subwoofer
( : subwoofer, : main speaker)
It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside of
either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. .) The
placement shown in fig. 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. To prevent this, face the
subwoofer system obliquely to the wall as shown in fig. .

Effect L
Note
There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough superbass sounds from this unit when listening at the middle 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.

■ Mounting the center speaker

Place the center speaker on the TV, on the floor under the TV
or in the TV rack so that it is stabilized.

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 down and that injures 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.
■ Adjusting the main speakers
Adjusting the angle of the main speakers
The angle of the main speakers can be adjusted according to
the placement of them.
1. Loosen the screw at the
bottom of the speaker
stand as figured below.
Loosen
2. Slide the speaker on the
stand until the desired
angle is obtainted, and
then tighten the screw.

Removing the front cover
The front cover is fastened to the enclosure at four points, and
can be removed if desired. To remove the cover, hold both
sides and slowly pull straight away from the speaker. To
reattach, line up the four pegs on the inside surface of the
cover with the four corresponding holes on the speaker and
push gently.
