CONSUMER PRECAUTIONS

Read these precautions carefully before operating your NS-AP8600 speakers.

  Since these speakers can be wall mounted, it is essential that they are firmly secured. Be sure to consult a 

reliable source about the best type of hanger for your particular wall’s construction. Secure installation is the  
purchaser’s responsibility.

  Do not attach them to thin plywood or soft wall surface materials as the screws may tear free, causing the 

speakers to fall and be damaged, or result in personal injury.

  Do not fasten the speakers to walls with nails, adhesives, or other unsafe hardware. Long-term use and 

vibrations may cause them to pull free.

  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 stand or shelf as a turntable can result in feedback.

  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.

  Never touch the woofer or tweeter units with your hands or expose them to excessive physical shock. If they 

are dented or bent, the sound will be distorted.

  Lower the power amplifier / receiver volume control before changing input sources. Never change input 

sources (for example, FM to CD) at high listening levels. Always turn the receiver / amplifier unit off when 
installing or removing input cables.

  Anytime you note distortion, reduce the volume control on your power amplifier / receiver to a lower setting. 

Never allow your power amplifier to be driven into “clipping”.

  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.

  This speaker stand is only for use with NS-AP8500S speakers. Do not use with other speaker models.

  To prevent the speaker from falling, use the screws and parts provided with the stand.

  To prevent the speaker stand from falling over, select a location which is flat and stable.

  To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables and to prevent the speaker stand from 

falling over, fix the speaker cables to the wall, etc.

  Do not let the children lean on the stand as this might cause the serious accidents resulting from the falling 

over of the speaker stand.

  Secure placement or installation is the owner’s responsibility. 

YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused by improper placement or installation of speakers.
