Connecting the speakers
■
Preparing the speaker cables
Once you’ve positioned the speakers, you’ll need to cut
the 25-meter (82 ft.) speaker cable to make five cables
for connecting the two front speakers, center speaker,
and the two surround speakers.
1
Cut the included speaker cable to suitable
lengths for the front, center, and surround
speakers. You need five cables.
2
Remove about 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from
the end of each speaker wire.
3
Twist the bare wires tightly.
Notes
• Make the speaker cables as short as possible. Do not
bundle or roll up excess cable.
• Twist the bare wires tightly so the individual strands
are not splayed.
• Be careful not to injure yourself while preparing the
speaker cables.
■
Operating the speaker terminals
1
Press and hold the terminal tab.
2
Insert the bare wire.
3
Release the tab so that it closes securely on the
bare wire, not the insulation.
4
Test the security of the connection by pulling
gently on the cable.
Notes
• Make sure the bare wires do not touch each other, as
this could damage the speaker or the amplifier.
• If the connections are faulty, you will hear no sound
from the speakers.
■
Connecting the speakers
Connect each speaker to the appropriate speaker
terminals on your amplifier by using the cables you
prepared earlier. See the “Connection diagram” on
page 4 for reference.
Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct
polarity—positive (+) terminals to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them crossed over, the sound will
be unnatural and lack bass.
In your AV receiver’s speaker size settings, specify
small (or “S”) for all of the NS-P380 speakers.
If you’re connecting the subwoofer to a Yamaha DSP
amplifier or AV receiver, connect to its SUBWOOFER
or LOW PASS output.
Connecting the power cables
Once you’ve completed all of the speaker and
subwoofer connections, plug the subwoofer, amplifier,
and your other AV components into suitable AC wall
outlets.
