Press and hold the terminal tab.
2
Insert the bare wire.
3
Release the tab so that it closes securely on the
bare wire, not the insulation.
4
Test the security of the connection by pulling
gently on the cable.
Note
• Make sure the bare wires do not touch each other, as
this could damage the speaker or the amplifier.
• If the connections are faulty, you will hear no sound
from the speakers.
Note: Make sure the
terminal is gripping
the bare wire, not
the insulation.
■ Connecting the speakers
Connect each speaker to the appropriate speaker
terminals on your amplifier by using the cables you
prepared earlier. See the "Connection diagram" on
page 3 for reference.
Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct
polarity—positive (+) terminals to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them crossed over, the sound will
be unnatural and lack bass.
In your AV receiver's speaker size settings, specify
small (or "S") for all of the NS-P40 speakers.
If you're connecting the subwoofer to a Yamaha DSP
amplifier or AV receiver, connect to its SUBWOOFER
output.

Connecting the power cables

Once you've completed all of the speaker and
subwoofer connections, plug the subwoofer, amplifier,
and your other AV components into suitable AC wall
outlets.
Note
• When turning on the power in your audio system,
always turn on the subwoofer last.
