Yamaha KMS-305 User Manual

Thank you for selecting this Yamaha KMS-305 speaker system.
PRECAUTIONS
Read these precautions carefully before operating
your speaker system.
● 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 speaker may be damaged.
● This speaker system incorporates a speaker
protector. However, if you will drive speakers with a
high-power amplifier, first decrease the volume to
minimum, then turn the power on, and increase the
volume slowly. If high power output above a certain
level is applied to the speakers suddenly, the
protector will not function and so the speakers will
be damaged.
● Do not attempt to clean the speaker with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. To clean,
wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
● To prevent the enclosure from warping or
discoloring, do not place the speaker where it will be
exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
● Do not place the speaker where it is liable to be
knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound
performance.
● Placing the speaker on the same shelf or rack as
the turntable can result in feedback.
● Secure placement or installation is the owner's
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident
caused by improper placement or installation of
the speaker.

CONNECTING TO YOUR AMPLIFIER

amplifier with commercially available speaker
cables.

Press the tab on the terminal down, as shown in
the figure.
Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal
hole. [Remove approx. 10 mm (3/8") insulation
from the speaker cable.
Remove your finger from the tab to allow it to lock
snugly on the cable's wire end.
Test the security of the connection by tugging
lightly on the cable at the terminal.

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each
other as this could damage the speaker and/or
the amplifier.
