Yamaha NS-P280, Owner'S Manual

1

 En

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha NS-P280 5.1CH Speaker Package.
Make sure the package contains the following items. 

Before you connect the speakers, place each speaker in 
its respective location. Speaker positioning is very 
important as it affects the overall sound quality of the 
system. Place the speakers in locations that will 
optimize the sound quality at your listening position. 
Refer to the illustration.

The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as the 
position of the other speakers because sub-bass 
sounds are not very directional. Refer to “Installing the 
subwoofer” on page 2 for more information.

Note 

• Placing the speakers too close to a CRT-type TV 

may impair the picture color or cause a buzzing 
noise. In this case, move the speakers at least 20 cm 
(8") away from the TV. This is not an issue with LCD 
and plasma TVs.
