Introduction Thank you for choosing a YAMAHA NS-P270 or NS-P276 Home Cinema 5.1/6.1 Channel Speaker System. Each of these systems includes the following speakers: • NX-E270 The NX-E270 are full-range acoustic-suspension speakers. Each system includes two (2) front and two (2) surround speakers.
Setting up the speakers 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.
Positioning the center speaker (NX-C270) Place the center speaker precisely between the front speakers, facing directly forward. You can place the center speaker on top of a TV (if the top of the TV is flat), on the floor beneath the TV, or in an entertainment center.
Mounting the front and surround speakers You can place the front and surround speakers (and surround back speaker in an NS-P276 system) on a shelf or rack, set them on the floor, or mount them on a wall or speaker stand. To mount the speakers on a wall: Affix screws to a firm wall or wall support as shown below.

Active Servo Processing speakers reproduce the bass frequencies through an “air woofer,” which is a port or opening in the speaker’s cabinet.
