If this happens, have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting. Prolonged use in this condition could cause overheating and result in fire. • When choosing a power amplifier for use with this device, make sure that the output power of the amplifier is lower than the power capacity of this device (see SPECIFICATIONS). Even if the output power of the amplifier is lower than the power capacity of this device (PGM), use of excessive input signals resulting in clipping may cause damage to the device. Malfunction or fire may occur especially when the following sounds or noises are generated: - feedback, when using a microphone - continuous and extreme volume sound from a musical instrument - extreme continuous distorted sound - noise caused by plugging/unplugging the cable while the amplifier is turned on NOTICE To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to the product or damage to other property, follow the notices below. ●Handling and Maintenance • Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this might discolor the cabinet. • When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. • Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient temperature-when the device is moved from one location to another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while condensation is present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the device for several hours until the condensation has completely dried out. • Be sure to observe the amplifier's rated load impedance (see SPECIFICATIONS), particularly when connecting speakers in parallel. Connecting an impedance load outside the amplifier's rated range can damage the amplifier. • When connecting the speakers with high impedance, be sure that the output total of each speaker does not exceed the rated output of the power amplifier. • ABOUT THE PROTECTION CIRCUIT This speaker system has an internal protection circuit that shuts off the speaker unit when an excessive input signal is applied. If the speaker unit emits no sound, reduce the volume level of the amplifier immediately. The sound will return automatically in several seconds. • Place the speaker on a flat and smooth surface. ●About This Manual The illustrations as shown in this manual are for instructional purposes only, and may appear somewhat different from those on your device.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKER When installing the speaker on the floor, attach the rubber spacers to the underside of the speaker to provide support. When installing the speaker on a wall or ceiling, use the included brackets or optional U-bracket UB-DXR8. Ensure that the wall/ceiling is sufficiently strong. This package does not include the mounting hardware to install the included brackets/safety wire or the UB-DXR8. If you are not sure what materials are required for installation, consult a specialist. An installed speaker is shown below. Install the bracket as shown. Wall installation (using included brackets) Ceiling installation (using optional bracket UB-DXR8) WARNING • Do not use the included brackets for ceiling installation. • Do not use the UB-DXR8 for wall installation. Pre-installation (Preparation of the cable) Use stranded wire for cables attached to the Euroblock connector. Strip their insulation as shown in the figure and connect them. About 7 mm (0.3 in.) NOTE Do not plate stranded wires by solder. Doing so will cause the wire to break. 1 CONNECT THE WIRING TO THE CONNECTOR Connect the cable from the amplifier to the "INPUT" socket, and the cable being connected to other speakers to the "SATELLITE SPEAKERS" socket. A signal input to CH1 of INPUT is output from ST1 of SATELLITE SPEAKERS, and signal input to CH2 of INPUT is output from ST2 of SATELLITE SPEAKERS. For VXS10ST/VXS10STW, connect the included 5-pin Euroblock connector as shown below and set the appropriate wattage when using 100 V/70 V line. 100V/× 70V/200W 100V/200W 70V/100W 100V/100W 70V/50W 100V/50W 70V/25W NOTE No setting should be made for 100 V line, as shown in the far left illustration. 1 Remove the Euroblock connector from the speaker. 2 After loosening the terminal screws of the Euroblock connector with a flat-blade screwdriver, insert the cable into each terminal and tighten the screws. Make sure that cables cannot be pulled out. Euroblock connector NOTE Use a flat-blade screwdriver with a blade less than 3 mm (0.1 in.).

Installing on the ceiling (using the optional UB-DXR8) To determine the appropriate size of the UB-DXR8, download the "U BRACKET OWNER'S MANUAL" from the following manual library site. http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/ 1 Assemble two L-shaped brackets into a U-shape using the M5 × 10 screws included with the UB-DXR8 as shown below. Peel off the sheet from each rubber spacer (14 mm thickness; included with the speaker), and attach the spacers to the inside of each bracket arm aligning the holes so that the hexagon bolts can be inserted. M5 × 10 3 ATTACH THE SAFETY WIRE This section explains how to attach the included safety wire. NOTE • Make sure to take measures to prevent the speaker from falling down in the event of a installation failure. • When installing the safety wire to the wall, install it higher than the wire's attachment point on the speaker, with as little slack as possible. • If the safety wire is too short, prepare another wire appropriate for the speaker weight and installation conditions. If the wire is too long, should the speaker fall, the wire may snap as a result of too much strain. 1 Pass the safety wire through the eyebolt on the rear of the speaker. Eyebolt 2 Pass the bracket of the safety wire through the loop on the other end, and pull tight up against the eyebolt. Rubber spacer 2 Make sure that the width of the U bracket matches the speaker width. 3 Affix the U bracket on the ceiling using appropriate mounting hardware. 4 Use the hexagon bolts, spring washers and flat washers included with the speaker to attach the speaker to the UB-DXR8. NOTE Be sure to perform this work with two or more people. 3 Affix the bracket of the safety wire to the wall. Hexagon bolt Spring washer Flat washer
