Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NX-M5 speaker system.
PRECAUTIONS
Read these precautions carefully before using your
speaker.
• Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume
control on your amplifier to a lower setting. Never
allow your amplifier to be driven into “clipping”.
Otherwise the speaker may be damaged.
• When using an amplifier with a rated output
power higher than the nominal input power of the
speaker, care should be taken never to exceed
the speaker’s maximum input.
• Do not attempt to clean the speaker 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 speaker where it will
be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive
humidity.
• Do not place the speaker where it is liable to be
knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound
performance.
• Placing the speaker on the same shelf or rack as
the turntable can result in feedback.
• This speaker system is designed for home use
only. Never use this speaker system inside a car.
• Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident
caused by improper placement or installation of
the speaker.
CONNECTION TO YOUR CD CHANGER RECEIVER CRX-M5 OR AMPLIFIER
BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE
THAT THE CD CHANGER RECEIVER CRX-M5
OR AMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF.
• When this unit is connected to the CRX-M5 CD
changer receiver, also refer to the owner's manual
supplied with the CD changer receiver.
■
CONNECTIONS
• Connect the push-type input terminals at the rear
of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of
your CRX-M5 with the provided speaker cables.
• Connect the (+) terminals on both the CRX-M5
and the speakers using the red side of the
speaker cable. Connect the (–) terminals on both
components using the black side of the cable.
• Connect one speaker to the left (marked L)
terminals of your CRX-M5, and another speaker
to the right (marked R) terminals, making sure not
to reverse the polarity (+, –). If one speaker is
connected with reversed polarity, the sound will
be unnatural and lack bass.
* As the terminal names may differ depending on
the amplifier, refer to the owner's manual supplied
with your amplifier.
Procedures:
Remove the insulation from both ends of the
speaker cable.
Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in
the figure. Insert the bare speaker wire end
properly into the terminal hole. Remove your
finger from the tab to allow it to lock snugly on
the cable’s wire end.
Test the security of the connection by tugging
lightly on the cable at the terminal.
Note
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each
other as this could damage the speaker and/or
the amplifier.
