OWNER'S MANUAL NS-C444 Speaker System URG Thank you for selecting a YAMAHA speaker system. . PRECAUTIONS PLACING THE SPEAKER Read these precautions carefully before using your speaker. • To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference. • Install the speaker in a cool, dry, clean place - away from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the speaker to rain or water. • 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 following objects on the speaker: Glass, china, small metallic, etc. If glass etc. falls by vibrations and breaks, it may cause bodily injury. A burning candle etc. If the candle falls by vibrations, it may cause fire and bodily injury. A vessel with water in it If the vessel falls by vibrations and water spills, it may cause damage to the speaker, and/or you may get an electric shock. • Do not place the speaker where foreign objects such as water drips might fall. It might cause a fire, damage to the speaker, and/or bodily injury. • 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. • 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. Use a clean, dry cloth. • Do not attempt to modify or fix the speaker. Contact qualified YAMAHA service personnel when any service is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any reasons. • Secure placement or installation is the owner's responsibility. YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused by improper placement or installation of speaker. Place the speaker on TV whose top is flat or on the floor under the TV or inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized. When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling down, put the provided fasteners at four points on the bottom of the speaker and the top of the TV. Peel off the seal Fastener Screen Note • Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose area is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker. If placed, the speaker may drop out causing an injury to you. • Do not place the speaker on top of the TV with an inclination. • 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 fastener is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength is weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or wet and that this may cause the center speaker to drop. • This speaker features a magnetically shielded design, but there is still a chance that placing it too close to a TV set might impair picture color. Should this happen, move the speaker away from the TV set. 1 English
