NS-5 Natural Sound
Bass-Reflex Type
2-Way Speaker System
PRECAUTIONS
Read these precautions carefully before operating
your speaker.
●When using an amplifier with a rated output power
higher than the music input of the speaker, care
should be taken never to exceed the speaker’s
music input.
●Anytime you note distortion, reduce the volume con-
trol on your amplifier to a lower setting. Never allow
your amplifier to be driven into “clipping”.
●Do not place the speaker where it will be exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive humidity to prevent it
from being damaged.
●Do not attempt to clean the speaker with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. To clean,
wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
●Placing the speaker on the same shelf or rack as
the turntable can result in feedback.
●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 perfor-
mance.
●Secure placing is the owner’s responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable to any accident
caused by an improper placing of the speaker.
Note
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other
as this could damage the speaker and/or the
amplifier.
* Banana Plug connections are also possible. First
tighten the terminal knobs, and then insert the
Banana Plug connector into the corresponding ter-
minal hole.
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
your amplifier with the provided speaker cables.
●One side of the speaker cable is marked by a white
line. Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier
and the speakers using this white-marked side.
Connect the (–) terminals on both components
using the unmarked side of the cable. If connected
with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural
and lack bass.
Procedures:
➀Loosen the terminal knob.
➁Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal
hole. [Remove approx. 10 mm (3/8”) insulation
from the speaker cable.]
➂Tighten the knob.
➃Test the security of the connection by tugging
lightly on the cable at the terminal.

●Place the speaker on a sturdy, vibration-free sur-
face.
If you cannot obtain good bass quality when the
speaker is placed directly on the floor, insert a block
etc. between the speaker and the floor.
●
Since this speaker has an opening on the rear panel
to decrease pressure inside the cabinet, it is recom-
mended to place it at least 10 cm (3-15/16”) apart
from the wall.
●Better stereo images will be obtained when the
speakers are slightly angled in towards the listener.
Note
Though this speaker is a magnetic shielding type,
there may be an influence on TV picture accord-
ing to the type of TV or the placement of the
speaker. In such a case, place the speaker apart
from the TV so that there is no influence on TV
picture.
PLACING THE SPEAKER 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 exces-
sive force with tools.
This bass-reflex type speaker has an opening on
the rear panel.
Be careful not to obstruct the opening or put some
objects into it. If doing so, the sound will be unnat-
ural or it may cause damage to the speaker
and/or amplifier.
