PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT
Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section
regarding common operating errors before concluding that
the unit is faulty.
To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power
plug and the antenna cable when there is an electrical
storm.
Do not connect audio equipment to the AC outlet on the
rear panel if the equipment requires more power than the
outlet is rated to provide.
Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before
you finish all connections.
The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified
on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than
specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other
types of accidents causing damage. YAMAHA will not be
held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this
unit with a voltage other than specified.
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on
speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken
to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which
may occur when turning on the unit with the volume control
setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.
Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in
an extremely humid environment may cause condensation
inside the cabinet. Condensation can cause the unit to
malfunction.
To eliminate condensation:
CD pickup
Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour).
Remote control
Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a
soft cloth before operating the unit.
To prevent a malfunction of this unit:
Do not use any non standard shaped disc (heart etc.)
available on the market, because it may damage the
unit.
Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it,
because damage to the unit may result.
To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Choose the installation location of this unit carefully. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.
Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive
dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of
hum such as transformers and electric motors.
Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat,
possibly causing damage.
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,
contact your dealer.
The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of
the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature
inside the cabinet will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid
placing objects against these openings, and install the unit
in well-ventilated condition. Be sure to allow a space of at
least 20 cm behind, 20 cm on the both sides and 30 cm
above the top panel of the unit. Otherwise it may not only
damage the unit, but also cause fire.
Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before
starting an audio source play: increase the volume
gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.
When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time
(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the
wall outlet.
Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken
so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not
defeated.
Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.
When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and
the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the
wire itself.
If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with this
unit’s operation, move this unit away from such an
appliance.
Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents;
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
unit to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel only.

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar
to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie
theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder,
you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby
Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro
Logic employs a four-channel-five-speaker system. The Pro
Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four
levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel
(used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels
(used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient
noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even
less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from
the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo
imaging.
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-
recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable
broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby
Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder
decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound
effects.
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance
control. This always assures you the best performance
without manual adjustment.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
This unit is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5-speaker configuration: a pair of front speakers, a pair of rear
speakers and a center speaker. You can use one rear speaker only instead of using two rear speakers, and omit the center
speaker. (Refer to the
“Speaker configuration” shown below.)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and
surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).

Speaker configuration
(1)5-Speaker Configuration
This configuration is the most effective and recommended
one. In this configuration, the center speaker is
necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field
program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected,
conversations will be output from the center speaker and
the ambience will be excellent.
Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL
position. (For details, refer to page 16.)
(2)4-Speaker Configuration
(without the center speaker)
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the
sound field program PRO LOGIC is selected, the
center sound will be output from the left and the right front
speakers, although the program 3 STEREO is
useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect of
other programs can be almost the same as that of the 5-
speaker configuration.
Be sure to set the center channel mode to the
PHANTOM” position. (For details, refer to page 16.)
Note
As this unit is equipped with a monaural amplifier for the rear
channel, sounds output from the rear speakers are in
monaural. So, you may use one rear speaker only instead of
using two rear speakers.
However, the use of two rear speakers is recommended
when there are more than one listener in the listening room.
When using one rear speaker, place it right behind your
listening position.
Speaker placement
Front speakers: In normal position.
Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx.
six feet) up from the floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the front speakers.

Only for customers who use the YAMAHA
NS-P30 speaker system (separate
purchase)
If you use the YAMAHA NS-P30 speaker system with this
unit, read the following descriptions for mounting the NS-P30.
* “NS-P30” is the package number which includes the
YAMAHA speaker systems NX-E70 and NX-C70.
NX-E70 is designed to be used as a rear effect speaker
system, and NX-C70 is designed to be used as a center
speaker system.
Mounting the rear speakers (NX-E70)
Mount the rear speakers on a shelf, rack or on the floor
directly, or hang them on the wall.
To mount the rear speakers on a wall
1 Attach the provided mounting bracket to the rear of the
speaker by using the provided screws.
2 Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown in
the diagram, and hang the holes of the mounting bracket
on the protruding screws.
* The holes are arranged so that the speakers can be
mounted in a side long, upright or upside-down way.
* Make sure that the screws are caught by a narrow part
of the holes securely.
Notes
Never attach the bracket to the speaker backwards.
Speaker cords should be connected to the speaker’s
terminals after the bracket is attached to the speaker to
prevent the speaker cords pressed between the speaker
and the bracket.

WARNING:
Each speaker weighs 0.8 kg (1 lbs. 12 oz.). Do not
mount them on thin plywood or soft wall surface
material, as the screws may come out of the flimsy
surface, causing the speakers to fall down and be
damaged, or result in personal injury.
Do not fasten the speakers to wall with nails,
adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long-term use
and vibrations may cause them to fall down.
To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose
speaker cables, fix them to the wall.
To hang in a side long way
Hang the speakers so that each of them faces inside as
figured left.
SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
Mounting the center speaker (NX-C70)
Place the speaker on top of the TV or on the floor under the
TV or inside the TV rack in a stable position.
When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the
speaker from falling down, put the provided pads at four
points on bottom of the speaker.
Notes
Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose area
is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker. If
placed, the speaker may drop out causing an injury to
you.
Though this speaker is a magnetic shielding type,
there may be some influence on a TV picture
depending on the type of TV or the placement of the
speaker. In such a case, place the speaker apart from
the TV so that there is no influence on TV picture.

How to Connect:
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the
speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is
correct, that is the + and – markings are observed. If these
wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as
this could damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
Note on connecting one rear speaker only
You can use one rear speaker only in place of two rear
speakers. For connecting one rear speaker, follow the
method shown below.
Note on connecting a subwoofer (separate
purchase)
You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass
frequencies.
Connect the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal of this unit to the
INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the
speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the
subwoofer.
With some subwoofer systems, including the Yamaha Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, an amplifier is
incorporated into the system.
* The SUBWOOFER OUT terminal outputs low frequencies
from the front and center channels.
(The cut-off frequency of signals output from this terminal is
200 Hz.)

Antenna connection
(1) Supplied FM antenna
Connect the FM antenna wire to the corresponding terminal
and direct the FM antenna wire to the direction where the
strongest signal can be received.
(2) Supplied AM loop antenna
Connect the AM loop antenna wires to the corresponding
terminals. Position the AM loop antenna for optimum
reception. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf etc., or
install it on the rack or wall with screws (not supplied).
Notes
When static is still heard even after adjusting the position
of the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections
(from the upper terminal to the lower one, and vice versa).
Do not place the AM loop antenna on the unit. It will result
in noise generation, since the unit is equipped with digital
electronics. Place the AM loop antenna away from the
unit.
(3) External FM antenna
Use an external FM antenna instead of an indoor FM
antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.
(4) External AM antenna
