BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE THAT THEAMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF.n CONNECTIONS● Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of thespeakers to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier withthe provided speaker cords.● One side of the speaker cord is red and the other side is black.Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier and thespeakers using this red side. Connect the (–) terminals on bothcomponents using the black side of the cord.● Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of youramplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked R)terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If onespeaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will beunnatural and lack bass.Procedures:À Loosen the terminal knob.Á Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal hole.[Remove approx. 10 mm (3/8”) insulation from the speakercord.]Â Tighten the knob.Ã Test the security of the connection by pulling lightly the cordat the terminal.* Banana Plug connectionsare also possible. Firsttighten the terminal knobs,and then insert theBanana Plug connectorinto the correspondingterminal hole.NoteDo not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as thiscould damage the speakers or the amplifier, or both of them.NS-55 NS-45Thank you for selecting this Yamaha speaker system.PRECAUTIONSRead these precautions carefully before using your speakers.● Any time you notice distortion, reduce the volume of youramplifier. Never allow your amplifier to be driven into “clipping”.Otherwise the speakers may be damaged.● When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher thanthe nominal input power of the speakers, care should be takennever to exceed the speakers’ maximum input.● Do not attempt to clean the cabinets with chemical solvents asthis might damage the finish. Use a dry, soft cloth.● To prevent the cabinets from warping or discoloring, do notplace the speakers where it will be exposed to direct sunlightor excessive humidity.● Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be knockedover or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will alsoensure better sound performance.● Do not place the speakers on the same shelf or rack as theturntable. The vibration of the speakers might cause thefeedback.● Secure placement or installation is the owner’sresponsibility.YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused byimproper placement or installation of the speakers.CONNECTION TO YOUR AMPLIFIERRed lineBlack lineSpeaker (R)Speaker outputterminals of theamplifierSpeaker (L)LoosenBlack(–)TightenRed (+)Red lineHOME CINEMA MAIN SPEAKERAmplifier
