Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System with a
built-in power amplifier

This subwoofer system employs Advanced YAMAHA
Active Servo Technology which YAMAHA has developed
for reproducing higher quality super-bass sound. (Refer to
page 14 for details on Advanced YAMAHA Active Servo
Technology.) This super-bass sound adds a more
realistic, theater-in-the-home effect to your stereo system.

This subwoofer can be easily added to your existing
audio system by connecting to either the speaker
terminals or the line output (pin jack) terminals of the
amplifier.

The AUTO STANDBY switch saves you the trouble of
setting the POWER switch to the ON or OFF position.

The speaker package “NS-P230 and NS-P236” is designed
for use in a multi-channel audio system such as a home
theater system.

NS-P230 includes four NX-230P speaker systems, one NX-
C230 speaker system and one YST-SW005 subwoofer
system.

NS-P236 includes five NX-230P speaker systems, one NX-
C230 speaker system and one YST-SW005 subwoofer
system.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR U.K. MODEL

IMPORTANT:

THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured
BLACK.  The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L
or coloured RED.  Making sure that neither core is
connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug
supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an
appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the
instructions described below.

Note: 

The plug severed from the mains lead must be

destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.

For Canadian Customers

To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to
wide slot and fully insert.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian
ICES-003.
