Thank you for selecting thisYAMAHA NS-300/NS-200 speaker system.

Read these precautions carefully before using your 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. To clean, wipe with a dry,

soft cloth.

●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 speaker where it is liable to be knocked

over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also

ensure better sound performance.

●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.

PRECAUTIONS

The speaker is constructed with the majority of the weight

located in its upper portion, and is thus susceptible to falling

over if proper care is not taken to insure its stability. If the

speaker falls over, it may damage the speaker or be the cause

of injury (or even death) to persons and/or damage to personal

property.

For safe and proper use of the speaker:

• Position the speaker in a location that is solid, level, smooth,

and low (with respect to the floor).

• Do not push or apply pressure to the side of the speaker

when moving, or lean objects against the side of the speaker.

• Do not sit on or set objects on top of the speaker.

Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and other

phenomena or activities may cause the speaker to fall over.

For safety reasons, using commercially available products that

increase stability in the speaker is recommended (metal fittings

or chains, etc.).

PRECAUTIONSWHEN POSITIONINGTHE SPEAKERS

Use the stands included with the speakers to increase

stability:

●Stands

Be sure to use the stands regardless of where the speakers

are positioned. Attaching the stands included with the

speakers reinforces the base of the speaker not to fall over.

Please be cautioned that even though the stands are

connected, this does not guarantee that the speakers will not

fall over.

English

■Attaching the spike

When setting up the speakers on a thick carpet, use the spikes

instead of the stand. With 4 points set in place to achieve

increased stability and improvements in sound quality.

Procedure:

➀Set the nut close to the tip of the spike and screw them

into the bottom of the speaker at each of the four specified

holes.

➁Place the speaker in the desired location in an upright

position and adjust the length of the spike to match the

depth of the carpet.

➂When adjustment is complete, twist the nut up to the base

of the speaker firmly.

Notes

●The tips of the spikes may scratch or otherwise damage

the flooring. Please be careful when positioning the

speakers.

●If force is applied to the side of the speaker, it may fall

and damage the speaker or cause personal injury.

Please be careful.

HOWTO USETHE ACCESSORIES INCLUDED WITHTHE SPEAKERS

■ Attaching the stand

When positioning the speakers, be sure to use the stand to

increase stability.

Use the 8 specified holes located on the base of the speaker.

Procedure:

➀Put the 6 mm screw through the inside hole on the stand.

➁Place a washer on the screw on the speaker side of the

stand and attach to the speaker at one of the outside holes

on the base of the speaker.

At this time, attach the stand so that it can still be moved

slightly.

➂Put the 4 mm wood screw through the outside hole on the

stand, and screw into the inside hole on the base of the

speaker.

➃When both screws have been attached, tighten both of the

screws so that the stand is firmly in place.

Be sure to check that the stand is firmly attached.

➄Attach the pads to the bottom of the end portion of the

stand.

➅Attach the other stands in the same manner and confirm

that all 4 stands have been firmly attached.

➆Place the speaker in the desired location.

Note

If force is applied to the side of the speaker, it may fall and

damage the speaker or cause personal injury. Please be

careful.

CONNECTIONSTOYOUR AMPLIFIER

This speaker system is capable of standard connections and bi-wiring connections. Before making connections, make sure

that the amplifier is switched off.

Speakers output

terminals of the

amplifier

■Connections

●Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the

speakers to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier

with the speaker cables.

●Connect the (+) terminals on both 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 (marked L) terminals of your

amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked 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.

Procedure:

➀Loosen the terminal knob.

➁Remove approx. 10 mm (3/8”) insulation from the speaker

cable and insert the bare wire end properly into the

terminal hole.

➂Tighten the knob.

➃Test the security of the connection by tugging lightly on the

cable at the terminal.

Note

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

could damage the speaker and/or the amplifier.

Bi-Wiring Connections

This speaker system is capable of bi-wiring connections. To

connect the speakers to the output terminals of the amplifier,

two pairs of cables for each of woofer and 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.

To utilize bi-wiring connections, remove the short bars from the

terminals first, and then connect the woofer and tweeter to the

amplifier separately using two pairs of cables.

Note

For bi-wiring connections, use the same type of cable for

both the woofer and tweeter, making sure to match the

polarity.

Leave the short

bars in place

when connecting.

PLACINGTHE SPEAKERS

■Using as 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.

REMOVINGTHE FRONT COVER

The front cover is fastened to the enclosure at six 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 six pegs on the inside surface of the cover

with the six 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.
