Please read the following operating precautions before use. Yamaha will not be held responsible for any damage and/or 
injury caused by not following the cautions below.

1.

To assure the finest performance, please read this 
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future 
reference.

2.

Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place – away 
from windows, sources of heat, sources of excessive 
vibration, dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of 
electrical humming (e.g., transformers and motors). To 
prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the 
speakers to rain or water. 

3.

To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, 
do not expose the speakers to direct sunlight or 
excessive humidity.

4.

Avoid installing the speakers where foreign objects may 
fall onto them and/or where they may be exposed to 
liquid dripping or splashing. 

5.

Do not place the following objects on top of the 
speakers:

– Other components, as they might damage or discolor 

the surface of the speakers.

– Burning objects (e.g., candles), as they might cause 

fire, damage to the speakers or personal injury. 

– Containers of liquid, as they might spill and cause 

electric shock to the user or damage to the speakers.

6.

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.

7.

Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the 
turntable can result in feedback.

8.

Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control 
on your amplifier to lower setting. Never allow your 
amplifier to be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise, the 
speakers may be damaged.

9.

When using an amplifier with a rated output power 
higher than the nominal input power of the speakers, 
care should be taken not to exceed the maximum input 
of the speakers.

10.

Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical 
solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, 
dry cloth.

11.

Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact 
qualified Yamaha service personnel when service is 
needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any 
reason.

12.

Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section regarding 
common operating errors before concluding that the 
speakers are faulty.

13. Secure placement or installation is the owner’s 

responsibility. Yamaha is not liable for accidents 
caused by improper placement or installation of 
speakers.

For NS-SW280

1.

Do not operate this unit upside down. It may overheat, 
possibly causing damage.

2.

Do not use excessive force on switches, controls or 
connection wires. When moving this unit, first 
disconnect the power plug and the wires connected to 
other equipment. Never pull the wires themselves.

3.

Never put a hand or a foreign object into the port 
located on the right side of this unit. When moving this 
unit, do not hold the port, as it might cause personal 
injury and/or damage to this unit.

4.

Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat 
radiates from the rear panel. Place the unit away from 
walls, allowing at least 20 cm (8") of space above, 
behind and on both sides of the unit to prevent fire or 
damage. Furthermore, do not position the unit with the 
rear panel facing down on the floor or other surfaces.

5.

When using a humidifier, be sure to avoid condensation 
inside this unit by allowing enough space around the 
unit and avoiding excess humidification. Condensation 
might cause fire, damage to the unit, and/or electric 
shock.

6.

Do not cover the rear panel of this unit with a 
newspaper, tablecloth, curtain, etc. to avoid obstructing 
heat radiation. If the temperature inside the unit rises, it 
may cause fire, damage to the unit, or personal injury.

7.

Do not plug this unit into a wall outlet until all 
connections are complete.

8.

The voltage to be used must match that specified on the 
rear panel. Using this unit with a voltage higher than 
specified is dangerous and may cause fire, damage to 
the unit, and/or personal injury. Yamaha is not 
responsible for damage resulting from use of this unit 
with a voltage other than specified.

9.

Super-bass sound reproduced by this unit may cause a 
turntable to generate audio feedback. In this case, move 
the unit away from the turntable.

10.

This unit may be damaged if certain sounds are 
continuously output at high volume level. For example, 
if 20 Hz–50 Hz sine waves from a test disc or bass 
sounds from an electronic instrument, etc. are 
continuously output, or if a turntable stylus touches the 
surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent the 
unit from being damaged.

11.

If you hear distorted noise (i.e., unnatural, intermittent 
“rapping” or “hammering” sounds) from this unit, 
reduce the volume level. Extremely loud movie 
soundtrack low frequency, bass-heavy sounds, or 
similarly loud popular music passages can damage this 
unit.

12.

Vibration generated by super-bass sound may distort 
images on a TV. In this case, move the unit away from 
the TV set.

13.

When disconnecting the power cord from the wall 
outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.

14.

When you plan not to use this unit for a long period of 
time (i.e. vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug 
from the wall outlet.

15.

Install this unit near the wall outlet and where the AC 
power plug can be reached easily.

Precautions

WARNING 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC 
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO 
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
