Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA NS-P610 Speaker Package.

CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.

English

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.

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 reasons.

Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding

●

common operating errors before concluding that the speakers are faulty.

For YST-SW45 only

Do not operate this unit upside down. It may overheat, possibly

●

causing damage.

Do not use 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 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.

To avoid condensation inside this unit, do not expose this unit to

●

sudden temperature changes from cold to hot, or do not place this unit in an environment with high humidity (i.e. a room with a humidifier). Condensation may cause an electric shock, fire, and/or damage to this unit.

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 (China and general models 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 When this unit is turned off by pressing the STANDBY/ON button on the front panel, it consumes a small amount of power. This state is called the standby mode. This unit’s power supply is completely cut off from the AC line only when the POWER switch on the rear panel is set in the OFF position or the AC power cord is disconnected.

These speakers feature a magnetically shielded design, but there is still a chance that placing them too close to a TV set might impair picture color. Should this happen, move the speakers away from the TV set.

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 (NS-10MMT) are used for the main and rear speakers.

䡵 Placing the subwoofer

ıÅ

( : Subwoofer, : Main speaker)

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.

Use the rubber pads

Put the provided rubber pads at the four corners on the bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer moving due to vibrations etc.
