Yamaha NS-300X Quick Start Manual

READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR NS-300X.
ə To prevent discoloration or damage to the cabinet, keep
your speakers away from high temperature and out of
direct sunlight.
ePlacing your turntable on top of the speaker cabinet or
on the same shelf may cause howling. The turntable
should be placed where vibrations from the speakers will
not reach it. .
e When an amplifier with a rated output power higher than
the music input of the speaker system is used, care
should be taken never to exceed the speaker's music
input. |
eConnections to the amplifiers speaker terminals de-
pend on the particular amplifier you are using. Please
check the amplifiers owners manual before making
speaker connections. .
ein order to preserve the beauty of the cabinet, avoid the
use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticides on the
cabinet and avoid prolonged contact with vinyl-based
products. When cleaning, use a clean, dry cloth.
eThe speaker system contains strong magnets, so
television sets, watches, magnetic tape, etc., should be
kept at a reasonable distance.
e When the grille is off, avoid touching the woofer cone or
center cap. Any deformation can cause audible distor-
tion.
eThe bass may sound unnatural if the speakers are
placed directly on the floor. If this is the case, raise the
speakers off the floor with sturdy supports such as
speaker stands or concrete blocks.
