Placing The Speakers; Specifications - Yamaha NS-BP400 Owner's Manual

PRECAUTIONS
• Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean, stable and horizontal
place.
• To avoid electric shock, fire, injury, damage to the speakers, and
discoloration of the cabinet, install away from windows, heat
sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture, cold, rain,
water, falling objects, noise sources (transformers, motors, etc.)
and direct sunlight.
• Do not insert a hand or object into the port or pick up the speaker
by holding the port, as it may cause personal injury or damage to
the speaker.
• Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control on your
receiver to a lower setting. Never allow your receiver to be driven
into "clipping". Otherwise the speakers may be damaged.
• When using a receiver 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.
• Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact qualified
Yamaha service personnel when any service is needed. The cabi-
net should never be opened for any reasons.
• Secure placement or installation is the owner's respon-
sibility. Yamaha shall not be liable for any accident
caused by improper placement or installation of speak-
ers.

PLACING THE SPEAKERS

• Place the speakers on a sturdy, vibration-free surface. You may
not be able to obtain good bass quality when the speakers are
placed directly on the floor. Put a block, etc. under the speakers.
• Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are
slightly angled in towards the listening position.
Note
Placing this unit too close to a CRT TV set might happen
impair picture color or create a buzzing noise. Should
this happen, move the speaker away from the TV set.
ATTACHING THE SPEAKER STANDS
You can also use the screw holes on the bottom of the NS-BP400 for
installing the speakers on commercially available speaker stands.
A screw with a diameter of 4
mm can be used
(Hole depth: 10 mm, 3/8")
• Before installing, please refer to the instruction manual of the
speaker stand.

cabinet using a soft, dry cloth (such as a Yamaha Unicon cloth).
