NSP51 - Speaker YAMAHA - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL NSP51 YAMAHA

1. To assure the finest performance, please read this

manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

2. Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place – away

from windows, sources of heat, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of electrical humming (e.g., transformers and motors). To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the speakers to rain or water.

3. To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring,

do not expose the speakers to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.

4. Avoid installing the speakers where foreign objects may

fall onto them and/or where they may be exposed to liquid dripping or splashing.

5. Do not place the following objects on top of the

speakers: – Other components, as they might damage or discolor the surface of the speakers. – Burning objects (e.g., candles), as they might cause fire, damage to the speakers or personal injury. – Containers of liquid, as they might spill and cause electric shock to the user or damage to the speakers.

6. Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be

knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also ensure better sound performance.

7. Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the

turntable can result in feedback.

8. Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control

on your amplifier to lower setting. Never allow your amplifier to be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

9. When using an amplifier with a rated output power

higher than the nominal input power of the speakers, care should be taken not to exceed the maximum input of the speakers.

10. Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical

solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

11. Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact

qualified Yamaha service personnel when service is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any reason.

12. Secure placement or installation is the owner’s

responsibility. Yamaha is not liable for accidents caused by improper placement or installation of speakers.

[Information on Disposal in other Countries outside the European Union] This symbol is only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard these items, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal. Taking care of the speaker When you wipe this unit, do not use chemical solvents (e.g., alcohol or thinners, etc.): this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. For difficult soils, dampen a soft cloth in water, wring it out, and then wipe with the cloth.1 En English Make sure the package contains the following items. Before you connect the speakers, place each speaker in its respective location. Speaker positioning is very important as it affects the overall sound quality of the system. Place the speakers in locations that will optimize the sound quality at your listening position. Refer to the illustration.

• Placing the speakers too close to a CRT-type TV may impair the picture color or cause a buzzing noise. In this case, move the speakers at least 20 cm (8") away from the TV. This is not an issue with LCD and plasma TVs.

• Place the two front speakers (commercially available) on the left and right sides of the TV, facing directly forward. ** Place the left and right surround speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. Contents Package contents p. 1

When placing it on a flat surface (TV rack, etc), affix the supplied fasteners to bottom of the speaker. Refer to the illustration. When wall-mounting it, see “Wall-mounting the speakers”. (See below.) p. 5

• Wipe the surface clean before affixing the fasteners. If the surface is dirty, oily or wet, adhesive strength is weakened and the speaker may fall. Wall-mounting the speakers You can mount the speakers on the wall as follows. 1 Install screws into a solid wall or wall support as shown in the illustration. Use 3.5 to 4 mm (1/8") diameter self-tapping screws. 2 Hang each speaker by its keyhole slots onto the protruding screws.
• Make sure the shaft of the screw is seated in the narrow part of the keyhole slot. Otherwise, the speaker may fall.• Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood or on a wall with a soft surface material. Otherwise, the screws may pull out of the surface and the speakers may fall, possibly damaging the speakers or causing personal injury.• Do not affix the speakers to a wall using nails, adhesives, or unstable hardware. Long-term use and vibration may cause the speakers to fall.• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, affix the cables to the wall.• Mount the speakers in a wall location that will be unlikely to result in injury to an individual’s head. When using speaker brackets (commercially available) to mount the speakers on the wall or ceiling, we strongly recommend using safety wire (may be supplied with the bracket) between the speaker and bracket to prevent the speaker from falling.• When installing these speakers on a wall mounted bracket, it is essential that they are firmly secured. Be sure to consult a reliable source about the best type of fastener for your particular wall/ceiling’s construction.

For installation details, please refer to the owner’s manual that came with the YTS-F500/YTS-T500.

• Be careful not to pinch the speaker cables between the speaker and the speaker bracket or speaker stand.

• Do not lean or place any object on the speaker. Otherwise, the TV stand bracket may be deformed. 290 mm (11-1/2")95 mm(3-3/4")Insert screws “D (M6 x 16)” that came with the YTS-F500/YTS-T500 into the screw holes.Rear viewNS-C51 Use speaker bracket “B” that came with the YTS-F500/YTS-T500.NS-C51(Installation example using YTS-F500) Note4 En Caution: Make sure the power cables for your other AV components are disconnected from the AC wall outlets before making any connections. Connection diagram ■ Preparing the speaker cables Once you’ve positioned the speakers, you’ll need to prepare the speaker cables for connecting the speakers. 1 Remove about 15 mm (5/8") of insulation from the end of each speaker cable. 2 Twist the bare wires tightly.
• Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.• Twist the bare wires tightly so the individual strands are not splayed.• Be careful not to injure yourself while preparing the speaker cables. Connecting the speakers Center speakerAmplifierFront speakersNote: The exact layout of the speaker terminals depends on your amplifier.Surround speakersRight LeftRight Left Good No Good15 mm (5/8") Note5 En Specifications English ■ Operating the speaker terminals 1 Rotate the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it. 2 Insert the bare wire. 3 Rotate the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.

Test the security of the connection by pulling gently on the cable.• Make sure the terminal is gripping the bare wire, not the insulation.• Make sure the bare wires do not touch each other, as this could damage the speaker or amplifier.• If the connections are faulty, you will hear no sound from the speakers. ■ Connecting to an amplifier Connect each speaker to the appropriate speaker terminals on your amplifier by using the cables you prepared earlier. For details, see the “Connection diagram” (page 4).For the surround speakers only, connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier or receiver, and another speaker to the right (marked R) terminals. Please refer to the owner’s manual that came with your amplifier or receiver.• Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct polarity—positive (+) terminals to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to negative (–) terminals. If you get them crossed over, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
