• Explanation of Graphical Symbols
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert you to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert you to the presence
of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC

stronger bass and surround effects by adding the
separately available YAMAHA NX-SW10, consisting
of a subwoofer, a center speaker and two rear
speakers.
● Includes Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro
Logic and DTS Decoders
This system can reproduce the sound field of the
software with the g, s or
logo mark.
● Virtual Surround (available for Virtual
Dolby Digital)

■ Precautions regarding batteries
Misuse of dry cell batteries may result in leakage or
bursting. Be sure to follow the precautions given below.
• Insert batteries with (+) and (–) oriented according to the
marking in the battery compartment.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix different types of batteries as they may offer
different voltage and performance even though they have
the same shape.
• Remove all batteries when they can no longer be used or
when the remote control will not be used for an extended
period.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• If leakage occurs, wipe away all battery fluid inside the
compartment.
3 Close the battery compartment cover.

Preserving the manufacturer code
Replace batteries early before they become unusable.
The manufacturer code set by the user will be preserved
for about two minutes when batteries run out or when
they are removed. Note that the manufacturer code
setting may be lost if more than two minutes elapses.

GETTING STARTED
■ Battery replacement cycle
Replace all four batteries when the operational range of the
remote control starts to become shorter.
■ Precautions on handling the
remote control
• The remote control may not be able to operate the
control center when an object blocks the remote control
sensor on the unit.
• Do not subject the remote control to impact. Do not
allow it to get wet or place it in a location subject to high
humidity.
• The remote control operations become difficult when
direct sunlight or other strong light (such as from an
inverter fluorescent lamp) strikes the sensor. Adjust the
relative positions of the light and the control center if
this happens.
• Remote control operations may not be possible if another
remote control is being operated at the same time.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Although speakers should ideally be placed as shown below, satisfactory effects may be obtained even if you do not strictly
follow these guidelines.
Main speakers
Place in each side of the TV monitor.
Subwoofer (sold separately)
Place near the right or left main speaker.
■ Main speakers NX-VS10M
Place the main speakers an equal distance from each side of
the TV monitor.
Placing the main speakers at almost the same height as your
listening position is more effective.
■ YAMAHA center speaker
NX-VS10C (sold separately)
Place the center speaker on top of the television and align
the front surface of the speaker with the front surface of the
television monitor. If the speaker cannot be placed on top of
the television, place it on a rack beneath the television as
close to the television monitor as possible.
■ YAMAHA rear speakers NX-VS10E
(sold separately)
Depending on room conditions, it is possible to place
YAMAHA rear speakers NX-VS10E on shelves or hang
them on the wall. Speakers should be placed about 1.5 m
above the floor when you sit on the floor, or about 1.8 m
above the floor when you sit on the chair.
Center speaker (sold separately)
Place above the TV monitor in the center.
Right rear
speaker
1.5 - 1.8 m
Left rear
speaker
Rear speakers (sold separately)
Place behind or to the sides of the listening position.
■ YAMAHA subwoofer SW-VS10
(sold separately)
Place the subwoofer at the outside of the either right or left
main speaker and turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce the wall reflections. Try altering the position
of the subwoofer versus the listening position as the relative
position will affect the way the bass sounds.
CAUTION
Although these main speakers are magnetically shielded,
they may still affect the color on the television monitor
when using the speakers near the television. Adjust the
relative positions of the speakers and the television if this
happen. Perform the following steps if you are using a
magnetically shielded television.
1 Turn off the television.
2 Wait awhile and turn the television back on.
You can also use the screw holes on the bottom of the main
speakers for installing the speakers on commercially
available speaker stands.

INSTALLATION
Depending on room conditions, the control center can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Precautions before installation
• Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the pad as this will weaken its adhesive strength.
• Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the pad is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength is weakened if the surface is
dusty, oily or wet.
Installing the Control Center Horizontally
Apply the four supplied bottom pads to the bottom of the control center.
Peel off the seals of the bottom pads and apply to the four indented parts (screwed parts) on the bottom
of the control center.
Apply to the indented part.
Peel off the seal.
Bottom pad

PREPARATION
CAUTIONS
• Be sure to use the bottom pads when installing the control center horizontally. Otherwise, the front door of the control
center cannot open.
• Be sure to apply the bottom pads to the indented parts (screwed parts) on the bottom panel. Do not apply them to the
indented parts on the top of the control center.

INSTALLATION
Installing the Control Center Vertically
Apply the two supplied side pads to the side of the control center and attach to the supplied supporting stand.
1 Peel off the seals of the side pads and apply to the two indented parts (near to the front panel) on the
left side of the control center.
Peel off the seal.

Side pad
Apply to the indented part.
2 Attach the control center with the pads applied side facing down to the supporting stand as shown in
the illustration below.
Bottom panel
Rear panel
Front panel
Lift in this direction.
Note
• Using only the supporting stand makes the control center unstable and the front door cannot open. Be sure to use the side pads as well.
CAUTIONS
• Be sure to place the control center with the left side down.
• When installing the control center vertically on a high place such as on a shelf, do not place close to the edge.
Apply to the indented part.

CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
Always be sure to turn off the power of the control center and any component to be connected when making connections.
To ensure proper connections
• Connect the white plug of the connection cord to the left “L” (white) audio signal terminal and connect the red plug to the
right “R” (red) terminal.
• Insert the plug securely. If the plug is not inserted securely, noise may result or sound may not be output.
• Since the method of connection and terminal names differ depending on the component being used, be sure to refer to the
instruction manuals for all components being connected.
• After connections have been made, check one more time that wiring has been made properly.

• The sound from the TV can be heard using the speakers connected to the control center. (Although you can also hear the sound from the TV
speakers, we recommend you to reduce the TV volume so that you may enjoy the full benefit of the VS-10.)
• To monitor the picture output from the component such as a DVD player, cable TV tuner, camcorder, video game player, etc. of which the
video output terminal is connected to the video input terminal on the control center (as described on pages 11 and 12), switch the video
input of the TV (monitor) connected to the MONITOR OUT terminal on the control center.
• The TV (monitor) without the audio output terminals cannot be connected to the control center.
