Make sure the package contains the following items. ■ Subwoofer (NS-SW280 x1) The Subwoofer features a built-in power amplifier and utilizes Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology to provide high-quality sub-bass sound that adds real "punch" to your home theater. ■ Front, center, and surround speakers (NS-B280 x5) The front, center, and surround speakers are full-range acoustic-suspension speakers. ■ Front, center, and surround speakers Non-skid pad Non-skid pads: When placing the speakers on a flat surface, affix the included non-skid pads to the corners of the speaker undersides, as shown. The pads will prevent the speakers from moving around. Subwoofer cable, 5 m (16 ft.) x1 Non-skid pads (20 pcs.) x1 (For the front, center, and surround speakers.) Speaker cable, 25 m (82 ft.) x1 (To be cut into 5 lengths for the front, center, and surround speakers. Take care to prevent injury when preparing the cables.) Installing the speakers 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. The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as the position of the other speakers because sub-bass sounds are not very directional. Refer to "Installing the subwoofer" on page 2 for more information. Note • 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. • Front left Front right TV Subwoofer Center Surround right Surround left 1 En
