11 Power Sources – This product should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12 Grounding or Polarization – This product may be
equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13 Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
15 Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16 Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17 Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any
kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

●
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.
● 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 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.
CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.
Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA NS-P326 Speaker Package.
● 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.
<For U.K. and Europe models only>
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.

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 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.
