YAMAHA NS-333 Bass Reflex Bookshelf Speakers
PRECAUTIONS
Read these precautions carefully before using your speakers.
PLACING THE SPEAKERS
Place the speakers on a sturdy, vibration-free surface, on a well-built stand.
Using 2ch stereo speakers
Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are slightly angled in towards the listeners.
Using as main 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.
Using as front or rear effect speakers
Mount the speakers on a wall or place the speakers on a shelf. Determine the best position by following the owner’s manual supplied with your amplifier.
Note: This speaker features a magnetically shielded design, but there is still a chance that placing it too close to a TV set might impair picture color. Should this happen, move the speaker away from the TV set.
To mount the speaker on a wall by using the attached mounting bracket
Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown in the figure, and hang the holes of the mounting bracket on the protruding screws.
- Make sure that the screws are securely caught by the narrow parts of the holes.
WARNING
- This speaker weighs 5.5 kg (12 lbs. 2 oz.). Do not mount it on thin plywood or a wall with soft surface material. If mounted, the screws may come out of the flimsy surface and the speaker may fall. This damages the speaker or causes personal injury.
- Do not install the speaker on a wall with nails, adhesives, or any other unstable hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause it to fall.
- To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the wall.
CONNECTIONS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER
Before making connections, make sure that the amplifier is switched off.
Connections
- Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the speaker to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier (or receiver) with the speaker cable.
- Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier (or receiver) and the speaker using one side of the cable. Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the other side of the cable.
- Connect the speaker to the center terminals of the amplifier (or receiver) making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If the speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
How to Connect:
- Remove the insulation coating at the extremity of each speaker cable by twisting the coating off.
- Loosen the terminal knob.
- Insert the bare wire.
- Tighten the knob and secure the cable. Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cable at the terminal.
Note: Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other to avoid damaging the speaker or the amplifier, or both of them.
Using a Banana Plug
- Tighten the terminal knob.
- Simply insert the banana plug into the terminal.
REMOVING THE FRONT COVER
The front cover is fastened to the enclosure at four points and can be removed if desired. To remove the cover, hold on to both sides and slowly pull straight away from the speaker. To reattach, line up the four pegs on the inside surface of the cover with the four corresponding holes on the speaker and push gently.
Note: When the cover is removed, take care not to touch the speaker units with your hands or to exert excessive force with tools.
