NS-E120 Natural Sound Bass-Reflex Type Effect Speaker System Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NS-E120 speaker system. This model is designed mainly to be used as an effect speaker system. PRECAUTIONS Read these precautions carefully before operating your speakers. • When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher than the music input of the speakers, care should be taken never to exceed the speakers' music input. • Do not attempt to clean the speakers 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 speakers where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity. • 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. • Placing the speakers 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 installing is the owner's responsibility. YAMAHA shall not be liable to any accident caused by a failure in installing at a proper position and by proper installation procedure. CONNECTION TO YOUR AMPLIFIER BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE THAT THE AMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF. Ⅵ CONNECTIONS • Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier with the supplied speaker cables. • One side of the speaker cable is marked by a white line. Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier and the speakers using this white-marked side. Connect the (-) terminals on both components using the unmarked side of the cable. • 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. Procedures: 1 Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in the figure. 2 Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal. 3 Remove your finger from the tab to allow it to lock snugly on the cable's wire end. 4 Test the security of the connection by tugging lightly on the cable at the terminal.
