regarding common operating errors before concluding that  
the unit is faulty.  
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.  
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.

possibly causing damage.  
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,  
Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before  
contact your dealer.  
you finish all connections.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with this  
unit’s operation, move this unit away from such an  
appliance.  
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 attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents;  
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround  
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.).

purchase)  
1
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.  
2
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.  
Wall/ wall  
support  
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.  
Tapping screw  
(Available at the  
hardware store)  
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.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS  
To hang in a side long way  
Hang the speakers so that each of them faces inside as  
figured left.  
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.  
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.

CONNECTIONS  
Never plug the AC supply lead of this unit into the AC outlet until all connections are  
completed.  
Connecting speakers  
(See figure 6 on page 6.)  
Note on connecting a subwoofer (separate  
purchase)  
Connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS  
terminals, the center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKERS  
terminals and the rear speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS  
terminals.  
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.  
Note  
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the  
rear of this unit.  
* 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.)  
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.

ADJUSTMENTS  
Speaker balance adjustment  
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance  
between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in  
test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the  
sound output level heard at the listening position will be the  
same from each speaker. This is important for the best  
performance of the built-in Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder.  
The adjustment of each speaker output level should be  
done at your listening position with the remote control  
transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.

COMPACT DISC PLAYER OPERATION  
PLAYXCHANGE  
To interrupt playback  
During playback, you can open the disc table by pressing the

button.  
*
The “ ” indicator will flash.  
2 Press the play/pause  
/
button to resume playback  
from the same point.  
Note  
You can load or replace discs on the trays when the disc  
table is opening, however, never load a disc on the tray  
hidden inside the unit. In doing so, the disc and the unit may  
be damaged, because the tray already has a disc, which is  
being played back.  
To stop playback  
Press the stop  
button.  
To turn the unit into the standby mode after use  
Turn this unit into the standby mode by pressing the  
STANDBY/ON switch. (The indicators will go off except for  
the current time display.)  
Precautions  
Subjecting the unit to shock or vibration can cause  
mistracking.  
Direct playback  
Playing back some compact discs at high volume can  
cause mistracking. In this case, listen at lower volume.  
Do not pull open the disc table forcibly with your hands.  
Do not push the disc table while it is moving.  
If the power fails while the table is open, wait until the  
power supply returns or gently push the table manually to  
close it.  
The temperature range for playing back compact discs is  
recommended to be 5°C (41°F) – 35°C (95°F).  
When this unit is in the standby mode, pressing the DISC  
selector (1, 2 or 3) button will turn the power on and start CD  
playback automatically.  
When the power is on, even if an input source other than CD  
player is selected, pressing a DISC selector button or closing  
the disc table by pushing the front edge of the disc table  
gently will start playback directly.  
* These ways of playback can also be used to close the disc  
table. If the table is closed in these ways, playback will  
begin automatically, however, the display will not show the  
total number of tracks and the total playing time of the disc  
to be played back.  
Direct operation  
When this unit is in the standby mode, pressing the following  
buttons will turn the power on and perform their own  
functions automatically.

USING SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR  
The Sound Field Processor built into this unit presents you with the ambience of an actual concert hall etc. by adding effects as  
sonic reflections or reberverations that create the sound environment of a hall etc. This unit provides preset sound field programs  
shown below. You can enjoy an excellent audio sound field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments.  
This unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video  
sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding sound field  
program.

PROGRAM

3 STEREO STADIUM MONO MOVIE  
Brief Overview of Sound Field Programs  
PROGRAM  
FEATURE  
This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.  
Sounds are reproduced as movie creaters designed by using five speakers. You can experience the  
dramatic realism and impact of a movie theater.  
PRO LOGIC  
This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for  
sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this  
program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so the  
dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output  
from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear  
speakers.  
3 STEREO  
In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the front speakers, creating an expansive  
large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music is suited for this sound field.  
HALL  
ARENA  
DISCO  
This program simulates the sound environment of a big hall with long reverberation time and many  
reflections of high frequencies.  
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a very lively city. The  
sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate” sound.  
This program gives you long delays between direct sounds and effect sounds, and extraordinarily  
spacious feel of a large stadium.  
STADIUM  
This program is designed specifically to enhance mono source programs. Compared to a strictly  
mono setting, the sound image created in this mode is wider and slightly forward of the speaker pair,  
lending an immediacy to the overall sound. It is particularly effective when used with old mono  
movies, news broadcasts and dialog.

CARE OF COMPACT DISCS  
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however  
mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the  
disc surface.  
Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from  
your CD collection and player.  
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-  
label side. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not  
mark this surface.  
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat and  
excessive moisture.  
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or  
water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD  
is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry  
cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
