To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully.  Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place – away from
windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration,
dust, moisture and cold.  Avoid sources of humming
(transformers, motors).  To prevent fire or electrical shock,
do not expose the speakers to rain or water.

To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do
not place the speakers where they will be exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive humidity.

Do not place the following objects on the speakers:
Glass, china, etc.

If glass etc. falls by vibrations and breaks, it may cause
personal injury.

A burning candle etc.

If the candle falls by vibrations, it may cause fire and
personal injury.

A vessel with water in it

If the vessel falls by vibrations and water spills, it may
cause damage to the speakers, and/or you may get an
electric shock.

Do not place the speakers where foreign objects such as
water drips might fall.  It might cause a fire, damage to
the speakers, and/or personal injury.

 Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be

knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound performance.

Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the
turntable can result in feedback.

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
speakers may be damaged.

When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher
than the nominal input power of the speakers, care should
be taken never to exceed the speakers’ maximum input.

As these speakers contain strong magnets (though all of
them are magnetically shielded types), avoid placing
watches, magnetic tapes, etc. near them. Also, placing
the speakers near a TV set may impair picture color. If
this happens, move the speakers away from the TV set.

Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents
as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused
by improper placement or installation of speakers.

For SW-P201 only

Never open the cabinet.  If something drops into the set,
contact your dealer.

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 equipments.
Never pull the wires themselves.

Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section
regarding common operating errors before concluding
that the unit is faulty.

CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.

Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA NS-P320 Speaker Package.

When not planning to use this unit for a long period (ie.,
vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the
wall outlet.

To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power
plug when there is an electric storm.

Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will
radiate from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the
walls, allowing enough space above, behind and on the
both sides of the unit to prevent fire or damage.
Furthermore, do not position with the rear panel facing
down on the floor or other surfaces.

<

For U.K. and Europe models only

>

Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm above, behind
and on both sides of the unit.

Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may
cause a turntable to generate a howling sound. In such a
case, move this unit away from the turntable.

If you hear distorted noise (i.e., unnatural, intermittent
“rapping” or “hammering” sounds) coming from this unit,
reduce the volume level. Extremely loud playing of a
movie soundtrack’s low frequency, bass-heavy sounds or
similarly loud popular music passages can damage this
speaker system.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR
(General model only)
The VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the
rear panel of this unit must be set
for your local main voltage
BEFORE plugging into the AC
main supply.
Voltages are 110-120/220-240 V
AC, 50/60 Hz.

Standby mode

position, this unit turns into the standby mode when no
signal is inputted to this unit.
In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very
small quantity of power.
