■Using as front speakers and surround speakers in a surround system

Position the speakers on both sides of the TV. The positioning of speakers is important, since this dictates the overall sound quality of the surround system. Set up the speakers on the basis of your listening position by following the owner's manual supplied with your amplifier.

And 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.

■To mount the speakers 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 secured in the narrow sections of the holes.

Wall or wall support Diameter. 3.5 to 4 mm (1/8" to 3/16") 3 mm (1/8") Min. 20 mm (13/16") 26 mm (1")

You can also use the screw holes on the bottom of the speaker for installing the speaker using a commercially available speaker bracket (if you do not use the attached mounting bracket).

Screw holes Diameter: 6 mm (1/4") Hole Depth: 14 mm (9/16") 60 mm (2-3/8")

Note

Placing this unit too close to a CRT TV set might impair picture color or create a buzzing noise. Should this happen, move the speaker away (more than 20 cm (7-7/8")) from the TV set.

When using a PDP or LCD TV, it would not happen.

WARNING

• NS-B210 weighs 1.6 kg (3 lbs. 8 oz.). Do not mount it on thin plywood or a wall with soft surface material. If mounted, the screws may come out and the speaker may fall. This may damage the speaker, or cause 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 securely to the floor or wall.

For NS-C210

■Using as center speaker

Place the speaker on a TV rack or other stable surface. To prevent the speaker from falling down, attach the fasteners provided in each corner of the speaker's underside.

WARNING

• NS-C210 weighs 2 kg (4 lbs. 7 oz.). Do not mount it on thin plywood or a wall with soft surface material. If mounted, the screws may come out and the speaker may fall. This may damage the speaker, or cause personal injury.
• Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the seal as this will weaken its adhesive strength.
• Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the fasteners are to be attached. Note that adhesive strength is weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or wet, and that this may cause the center speaker to drop.
• 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 securely to the floor or wall.

CONNECTIONS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER

Before making connections, make sure that the amplifier is switched off.

Loosen Tighten Black (−) Red (+) NS-C210 CENTER FRONT OR SURROUND Amplifier or receiver NS-B210 NS-B210 Loosen Tighten Red (+) Black (−)

• Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier (or receiver) with the speaker cable.
• Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier (or receiver) to the (+) terminal of each speaker, making sure to confirm the color-coded wire of the cable at each end. Use the other wire of the cable to connect the (−) terminals of the components.
• 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.

■How to connect

1 Loosen the knob.
2 Remove 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from each end of the cables, and twist the exposed conductors together neatly and tightly, as shown below.

10 mm (3/8") Good No Good

3 Insert the bare wire.
4 Tighten the knob and secure the cables. Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cables at the terminal.

Notes

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker or the amplifier, or both.
• Do not insert the insulation into the hole. Sound may not be produced.

■When using a banana plug

Note

Do not take off this cover unless using a banana plug.
