PRECAUTIONS

Read these precautions carefully before operating

your speaker system.

● 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.

● This speaker system incorporates a speaker

protector. However, if you will drive speakers with a

high-power amplifier, first decrease the volume to

minimum, then turn the power on, and increase the

volume slowly. If high power output above a certain

level is applied to the speakers suddenly, the

protector will not function and so the speakers will

be 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.

● 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.

● Placing the speaker on the same shelf or rack as

the turntable can result in feedback.

● 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.

CONNECTING TO YOUR AMPLIFIER

● Connect the left speaker to the left (marked L)

terminals of your amplifier, and the right 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.

■ CONNECTIONS

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

the speakers to the speaker output terminals of your

amplifier with commercially available speaker

cables.

Procedures:

➀ Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in

the figure.

➁ Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal

hole. [Remove approx. 10 mm (3/8”) insulation

from the speaker cable.

➂ Remove your finger from the tab to allow it to lock

snugly on the cable’s wire end.

➃ Test 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.
