Thank you for selecting this Yamaha product.

Read this before using the speaker.

• To assure the finest performance, please read this manual

carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

• Install the speaker 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 speaker to rain or water.

• To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not

place the speaker where it will be exposed to direct sunlight

or excessive humidity.

• Do not place the following objects on the speaker:

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 speaker, and/or you may get an

electric shock.

• Do not place the speaker where foreign objects such as

water drips might fall. It might cause a fire, damage to the

speaker, and/or personal injury.

• Do not place the speaker where it is liable to be knocked

over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also

ensure better sound performance.

• Placing the speaker on the same shelf or rack as the

turntable can result in feedback.

• Never put a hand or a foreign object into the port located on

the rear of the speaker as this might cause personal injury

and/or damage to the speaker.

• When moving the speaker, do not hold the port as it might

cause personal injury and/or damage to the speaker.

• 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 speaker may be

damaged.

• When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher

than the nominal input power of the speaker, care should be

taken never to exceed the speaker’s maximum input.

• Do not attempt to clean the speaker with chemical solvents

as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

• Do not attempt to modify or fix the speaker. Contact

qualified Yamaha service personnel when any service is

needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any

reasons.

• 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 speaker.

2En

Place the speakers on a sturdy, vibration-free surface, or on a

well-built stand.

■Using as 2ch stereo speakers

Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are

slightly angled in towards the listeners.

■Using as front speakers in a multi

channel system

Position the speakers on both sides of the TV. The positioning

of speakers is important, because it controls the whole sound

quality of a multi channel system. Set up the speakers on the

basis of your listening position by following the owner’s

manual supplied with your amplifier.

Placing this unit too close to a TV set might impair picture

color or create a buzzing noise. Should this happen, move

the speaker away (more than 20 cm (7-7/8”)) from the TV

set.

Yamaha speaker stand SPS-900 (option)

You can use this unit as a floor stand speaker when

installing on an SPS-900.

In this case, use screw holes on the bottom of this unit.

• For details about installing, refer to the assembly

instruction of SPS-900.

• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose

speaker cables, fix them to the floor.

• Do not fasten the speaker on the stand with nails or

adhesives, etc. Long time use and vibrations may

cause this unit to fall down.

• Do not pinch the cables between the speaker and the

stand.

This speaker system is capable of standard connections and bi-wired connections. Before making

connections, make sure that the amplifier is switched off.

■CONNECTIONS

You need a commercially available speaker cable.

The size and/or material of a speaker cable affects on the

sound quality. Therefore, we recommend you purchase a

high-quality speaker cable to exert the performance of this

unit.

• Connect the screw-type terminals at the rear of the

speakers to the speaker terminals on the amplifier with

a speaker cable (sold separately).

• Connect the + terminals on the amplifier and the

speakers using one side of the cable. Connect the –

terminals on both components using the other side of

the cable.

• Connect one speaker to the left (L) terminals of your

amplifier, and another speaker to the right (R) terminals,

making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If one

speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound

will be unnatural and lack bass.

How to connect:

1Loosen the knob.

2Twist the exposed wires of the cable together.

3Insert the bare wire into the hole.

4Tighten the knob and secure the cable.

Test the firmness of the connection by pulling the

cable lightly at the terminal.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as

this could damage the speaker and/or the amplifier.

• Do not insert the insulation coating into the hole.

The sound may not be produced.

When connecting the speaker cable, leave the jumper

cables in place.

*The terminal hole is 5 mm (3/16”) in diameter.

Tweeter terminals

Both SPEAKERS A and

Bshould be connected.

When your amplifier has two sets

of speaker output terminals.

When your amplifier has only one

set of speaker output terminals.

To connect the speaker to the output

terminals of the amplifier, two pairs

of cables for each of the woofer and

the tweeter are used instead of

standard connections. This type of

connection decreases the

modulation distortion caused by

electric resistance of the cables and

driving current of the speakers.

Consequently, purer sound quality

can be expected.

1Unscrew the terminal knob.

3Tighten the terminal knob.

4Simply insert the banana plug into the terminal.

The speaker and the front cover are packed separately. To

attach the front cover, line up the four salients (magnet) on the

reverse side of the front cover with the four corresponding

pegs.

• When the cover is not attached, take care not to touch

the speaker units with your hands or to exert excessive

force with tools.

• There are magnets on the reverse side of the front

cover. Do not place the front cover close to objects that

might be affected by magnets, such as TVs, clocks,

magnetic cards, diskettes etc. when you don’t attach it.

The port on the back of this unit has a port plug to adjust the

bass level. When you want to increase the bass level, detach

the port plug.
