● 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 electric 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.
● Avoid installing the speakers where foreign objects may fall onto
them and/or where they may be exposed to liquid dripping or
splashing.
Do not place the following objects on top of the speakers:
●
Other components, as they might cause damage and/or
discoloration on the surface of the speakers.
●
Burning objects (i.e. candles), as they might cause fire,
damage to the speakers and/or personal injury.
●
Containers with liquid in them, as they might cause electric
shock to the user and/or damage to the speakers.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents as
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
● Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact qualified
YAMAHA service personnel when any service is needed. The
cabinet should never be opened for any reason.
● Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding
common operating errors before concluding that the speakers
are faulty.
For YST-SW015
● Do not operate this unit upside down. It may overheat, possibly
causing damage.
● Do not use excessive force on switches, controls or connection
wires. When moving this unit, first disconnect the power plug
and the wires connected to other equipments. Never pull the
wires themselves.
● Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate
from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the walls, allowing
spaces of at least 20 cm above, behind and on 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.
● When using a humidifier, be sure to avoid condensation inside
this unit by allowing enough spaces around this unit or avoiding
excess humidification. Condensation might cause a fire, damage
to this unit, and/or electric shock.
CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.
Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA NS-P430/NS-P436 Speaker Package.
● Do not cover the rear panel of this unit with a newspaper, a
tablecloth, a curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If
the temperature inside this unit rises, it may cause fire, damage
to this unit and/or personal injury.
● Do not plug in this unit to a wall outlet until all connections are
completed.
● The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on
the rear panel. Using this unit with a higher voltage than
specified is dangerous and may cause fire, damage to this unit,
and/or personal injury. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for
any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other
than specified.
● To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug
when there is an electric storm.
● 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.
● This unit may be damaged if certain sounds are continuously
outputted at high volume level. For example, if 20 Hz–50 Hz sine
waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic instruments,
etc. are continuously outputted, or when the stylus of a turntable
touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent
this unit from being damaged.
● 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.
● Vibration generated by super-bass frequencies may distort
images on a TV. In such a case, move this unit away from the TV
set.
● When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, grasp
the plug; do not pull the cord.
● When not planning to use this unit for a long period (i.e. vacation,
etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.
● VOLTAGE SELECTOR
(For China, Korean and General models)
The voltage selector switch on the rear
panel of this unit must be set for your
local main voltage BEFORE plugging
this unit 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 received by this
unit for 7 to 8 minutes.
In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small
quantity of power.

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.
Speaker configuration
<NS-P430>
This speaker package employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2
main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a
subwoofer.
The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear
speakers emit surround sounds, and the center speaker
emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer emits
reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.
<NS-P436>
This speaker package employs a 7 speaker configuration: 2
main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker, a rear
center speaker and a subwoofer.
The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear and
rear center speakers emit surround sounds, and the center
speaker emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer
emits reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.
Note
In this speaker package, the same speakers (NX-430P)
are used for the main and rear speakers (and rear
center speaker for NS-P436).
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.
Rear center speaker (for NS-P436):
Precisely between the rear speakers.
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical because low bass tones are not
highly directional.
Refer to “Placing the subwoofer” on
page 4 for a recommended positioning
of the subwoofer.
