NS-E105 Natural Sound Bass-Reflex Effect Speaker System Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NS-E105 speaker system. This model is designed to be used as an effect speaker in a Cinema DSP/Surround Sound system. PRECAUTIONS Read these precautions carefully before using your speaker. ● 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. ● When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher than the nominal input power of the speaker, care should be taken never to exceed the speaker's maximum input. ● 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. ● As these speakers contain strong magnets, avoid placing watches, magnetic tapes, etc. near them. Also, placing the speakers near a TV set may impair picture color. If this happens, move the TV set away from the speakers. ● 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. CONNECTION TO YOUR AMPLIFIER BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE THAT THE AMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF. s CONNECTIONS ● Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier with the provided speaker cables. ● One side of the speaker cable is marked by a blue line. Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier and the speakers using this blue-marked side. Connect the (-) terminals on both components using the unmarked side of the cable. ● 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. Procedures: Œ Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in the figure.  Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal hole. [Remove approx. 5 mm (1/4") insulation from the speaker cable. Ž Remove your finger from the tab to allow it to lock snugly on the cable's wire end.  Test the security of the connection by tugging lightly on the cable at the terminal.
