AANVULLENDE
INFORMATIE
■PCM (Lineair PCM)
Lineair PCM is een signaalformaat voor
ongecomprimeerde gedigitaliseerde analoge
geluidssignalen, geschikt voor opname, transmissie en
weergave. Dit is de methode waarmee CD’s en DVD
audio discs zijn opgenomen. Het PCM systeem maakt
gebruik van een systeem waarbij het analoge signaal in
zeer kleine stukjes wordt gehakt en per stukje gemeten
wordt (‘bemonsterd’). PCM staat voor “Puls Code
Modulatie” en betekent dat het analoge signaal gecodeerd
wordt als pulsjes en vervolgens o gemoduleerd voor
opname.
■Bemonsteringsfrequentie en aantal
kwantificeringsbits
Bij het digitaliseren van een analoog audiosignaal wordt
het aantal keren dat het signaal per seconde gemeten
wordt de bemonsteringsfrequentie genoemd, terwijl de
mate van detail waarin het geluid wordt omgezet in een
digitale waarde wordt aangegeven door het aantal
kwantificeringsbits.
De signalen die kunnen worden weergegeven hangen
mede af van de bemonsteringsfrequentie terwijl het
dynamisch bereik, het verschil tussen maximum en
minimum volume, afhangt van het aantal
kwantificeringsbits. Hoe hoger de
bemonsteringsfrequentie, hoe meer frequenties er kunnen
worden weergegeven en hoe hoger het aantal
kwantificeringsbits, hoe beter het volume kan worden
gereproduceerd.

Connecting the speakers
■Speakers
This unit has been designed to provide the best sound-
field quality with a 5-speaker system, using main left and
right speakers, rear left and right speakers and a center
speaker. If you use different brands of speakers (with
different tonal qualities) in your system, the tone of a
moving human voice and other types of sound may not
shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers
from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same
tonal quality.
The main speakers are used for the main source sound
plus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers
from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are
used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is
for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.).
The main speakers should be high-performance models
and have enough power-handling capacity to accept the
maximum output of your audio system. The other
speakers do not have to be equal to the main speakers. For
precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use the
models of equivalent performance with the main
speakers.
Use of a subwoofer expands your sound field
It is also possible to further expand your system with the
addition of a subwoofer. The use of a subwoofer is
effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from
any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE
(low-frequency effect) channel with high fidelity when
playing back Dolby Digital or DTS signals. The
YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System is
ideal for natural and lively bass reproduction.
CONNECTIONS
■Speaker placement
Refer to the following diagram when you place the
speakers.
Main speakers
Place the main left and right speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance between
each speaker and each side of the video monitor should
also be the same.
Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front
face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to
the monitor as possible (such as directly over or under the
monitor) and centrally between the main speakers.
Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position,
facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 feet) above the
floor.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because
low bass sounds are not highly directional. However, it is
better to place the subwoofer near the main speakers.
Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce
wall reflections.
Note
• If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear and/or center),
change the settings of “SOUND 1 SPEAKER SET” items at
the set menu to direct signals to other terminals you have
connected speakers to.
CAUTION
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If these speakers
still create interference with the monitor, place the
speakers away from the monitor.

■Connections
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) in accordance with the markers on
this unit, the speakers, and the speaker cables. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers,
and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
CAUTION
• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/
or the speakers.
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.
1Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2Twist the exposed wires of the cable
together to prevent short circuits.
1Unscrew the knob.
2Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
of each terminal.
3Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

main, center and/or rear channels to this jack in accordance with your SPEAKER SET selections. The LFE (low-
frequency effect) signals generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also directed to this jack in accordance
with your SPEAKER SET selections.
Notes
• The cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOFER jack is 90 Hz.
• If you do not use a subwoofer, allocate the signals to the main left and right speakers by changing the setting of “SOUND 1
SPEAKER SET” item “1D BASS” on the set menu to MAIN.
• Use the control on the subwoofer to adjust its volume level. You can also adjust the volume level by using this unit’s remote control

■Notes on digital signals
The digital input jacks of this unit can handle 96 kHz
sampling digital signals. Note the following when a
digital signal with a sampling frequency greater than 48
kHz is input to this unit:
• You cannot use any DSP programs.
• The unit will output sound as 2-channel stereo from the
main left and right speakers only. Therefore, you
cannot adjust the level of the effect speakers while
listening to such a source.
■Notes on playing DTS-CD/LDs
• If the digital output data of the player has been
processed in any way, the unit may not be able to
perform DTS decoding even if there is a digital
connection between this unit and the player.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal and set
the input mode to ANALOG, the unit may reproduce
the noise of an unprocessed DTS signal. In this case,
connect the source to a digital input jack on this unit
and set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.
• If you switch the input mode to ANALOG while
playing a source encoded with a DTS signal, the unit
does not output any sound.
• If you play a source encoded with a DTS signal with
the input mode set to AUTO;
– The unit automatically switches to the DTS-
decoding mode (The “t” indicator lights up)
after detecting the DTS signal. When playback of
the DTS source is completed, the “t” indicator
may flash. While this indicator is flashing, the unit
can only reproduce DTS source. If you want to play
a normal PCM source immediately, change the input
mode back to AUTO.
– When the input mode is set to AUTO and a search
or skip operation is performed during playback of a
DTS source, the “t” indicator may flash. If this
state continues for longer than 30 seconds, the unit
will automatically switch from “DTS-decoding”
mode to PCM digital signal input mode. The “t”

DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)
Understanding sound fields
A sound field is defined as the “characteristic sound reflections of a
particular space.” In concert halls and other music venues, we hear
early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound
produced by the artist(s). The variations in the early reflections and
other reverberations among the different music venues is what gives
each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.
YAMAHA sent teams of sound engineers all around the world to
measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music
venues, and collect detailed sound field information such as the
direction, strength, range, and delay time of those reflections. Then
we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this
unit.
■Recreating a sound field
Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the virtual sound sources in your
listening room. The traditional stereo system that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound
field. YAMAHA’s DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data.
The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output from the four effect speakers to localize the
virtual sound sources and fully encompass the listener.
Hi-Fi DSP programs
The following list gives you a brief description of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in
mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments.

A large round concert hall with a rich surround effect. Pronounced reflections from all directions
emphasize the extension of sounds. The sound field has a great deal of presence, and your virtual
seat is near the center, close to the stage.
This is the sound field at stage front in “The Bottom Line”, a famous New York jazz club, that
seats up to 300 people. Its wide left to right seating arrangement offers a real and vibrant sound.
The ideal program for lively, dynamic rock music. The data for this program was recorded at LA’s
“hottest” rock club. The listener’s virtual seat is at the center-left of the hall.
This program recreates the acoustic environment of a lively disco in the heart of a big city. The
sound is dense and highly concentrated. It is also characterized by a high-energy, “immediate”
sound.
Using this program increases the listening position range. This is a sound field suitable for
background music at parties, etc.

CINEMA-DSP
Sound design of CINEMA-DSP
Filmmakers intend for the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the music spread
even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course, all of these sounds must be synchronized with
the images on the screen.
CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for movie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP
integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies with YAMAHA DSP sound field
programs to provide a surround sound field. It recreates comprehensive movie sound design in your audio room. In
CINEMA-DSP sound field programs, YAMAHA’s exclusive DSP processing is added to the Main left and right, and
Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, smooth transition between sound sources,
and a surround sound field that goes beyond the screen.
When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is detected, the CINEMA-DSP sound field processor automatically chooses the
most suitable sound field program for that signal.

This program creates the extremely wide sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It
precisely reproduces the source sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field
incredibly real. This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround,
Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions).
This program clearly reproduces dialog and sound effects in the latest sound form of
science fiction films, thus creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid the
silence. You can enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes
Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the most advanced
techniques.
This program is ideal for precisely reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and
multichannel soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the newest
movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are restrained as much as
possible.
This program is for reproducing sounds from 70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films,
and is characterized by a soft and extensive sound field. The presence sound field is
relatively narrow. It spatially spreads all around and toward the screen, restraining the
echo effect of conversations without losing clarity.
The built-in decoder reproduces source sounds and sound-effects precisely.
No DSP effect is applied in this program.
This program ideally simulates the multi-surround speaker systems of the 35-mm film
theaters. Dolby Pro Logic decoding, Dolby Digital decoding or DTS decoding and digital
sound field processing create precise effects without altering the original sound orienta-
tion.
The surround effects produced by this sound field wrap around the viewer naturally from
the back to the left and right, and toward the screen.

Sound field effects
The 6-channel soundtracks found on 70-mm film produce precise sound field localization and rich, deep sound without
using matrix processing. This unit’s MOVIE THEATER programs provide the same quality of sound and sound
localization that 6-channel soundtracks do. The built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder brings the professional-quality
sound designed for movie theaters into your home. With this unit’s MOVIE THEATER programs, you can use Dolby
Digital or DTS technology to recreate a dynamic sound that gives you the feeling of being in a public theater.
■Dolby Digital/DTS + DSP sound field effect
These programs use YAMAHA’s tri-field DSP processing
on each of the Dolby Digital or DTS signals for the front,
left surround, and right surround channels. This
processing enables this unit to reproduce the immense
sound field and surround expression of a Dolby Digital-
or DTS-equipped movie theater without sacrificing the
clear separation of all channels.
■Dolby Digital/DTS + Matrix 6.1 + DSP sound field effect
These programs provide you with the maximum experience of the spacious surround effects by adding an extra rear
center DSP sound field created from the virtual rear center speaker.
■Dolby Pro Logic + DSP sound field effect
Most movie material has 4-channel (left, center, right, and
surround) sound information encoded by Dolby Surround
matrix processing and stored on the left and right tracks.
These signals are processed by the Dolby Pro Logic
decoder. The MOVIE THEATER programs are designed
to recreate the spaciousness and delicate nuances of
sound that tend to be lost in the encoding and decoding
processes.
■Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II decodes Dolby Surround software into 5 discrete full-range channels (3 channels in front and 2
channels in rear). There are 2 modes; MOVIE for movies and MUSIC for 2-channel audio sources.

Description of RDS data
This unit can receive, PS, PTY, RT, CT, and EON data
when tuned to stations broadcasting RDS.
■PS (Program Service name) mode:
The name of the RDS station being received is displayed.
■PTY (Program Type) mode:
There are 15 program types used to classify RDS stations.
■RT (Radio Text) mode:
Information about the program (such as the title of the
song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being
received is displayed using a maximum of 64
alphanumeric characters, including the umlaut symbol.
Any other characters used in RT data are displayed with
under-bars.
■CT (Clock Time) mode:
The current time is displayed and updated every minute.
“CT WAIT” may appear if the data is accidentally cut off.
■EON (Enhanced Other Networks):
Refer to the following page.
Changing the RDS mode
This unit provides four modes for displaying RDS data.
The PS, PTY, RT and/or CT mode indicators that
correspond to the RDS data services offered by the station
light up on the front panel display when an RDS station is
being received. Press RDS MODE/FREQ repeatedly to
cycle the display through the RDS data offered by the
transmitting station in the order shown below.
Notes
• Do not press RDS MODE/FREQ when an RDS station is
being received until one or more RDS mode indicators light
up on the front panel display. You cannot change the mode if
you press this button prior to this. This is because this unit has
not finished receiving all of the RDS data on the station.
• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.
• This unit cannot utilize the RDS data service if the signal
received is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode
requires a large amount of data, so it is possible that the RT
mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS,
PTY, etc.) are displayed.
• Sometimes, RDS data cannot be received in poor reception
conditions. If this is the case, press TUNING MODE so that
the “AUTO” indicator disappears from the front panel display.
Although this will change the reception mode to monoaural,
RDS data may be displayed when you change the display to
RDS mode.
• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference
during the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service
may cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the front
panel display.

RECORDING
Notes
• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.
• When this unit is set in standby mode, you cannot record
between the components connected to it.
• DSP programs and volume, bass, and treble settings do not
affect the recorded material.
• You cannot record from a source connected to the 6CH
INPUT jacks on this unit.
• Input sources are not output to the same OUT (REC) channel.
(For example, the signal input from VCR IN is not output to
VCR OUT.)
• You cannot record audio signals from a source connected to
the DIGITAL INPUT jack on this unit because the signals
from the DIGITAL INPUT jack and analog input jacks are
independent. Please connect a source to the analog in jacks if
you wish to record from the analog out jacks.
• Check the copyright laws in your country if you wish to
record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of
copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.
If you playback a video source that uses scrambled or
encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the
picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.
■Special considerations when recording
DTS material
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to
digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise
being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to
record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,
the following considerations and adjustments need to be
made.
For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, follow the
operating instructions of your player to set it to output an
analog signal, if it is compatible with the DTS format.

SOUND 2 SP DISTANCE
(speaker distance)
Use this feature to adjust the delay applied to center
channel sounds. This feature works when there is sound
output from the center speakers with a source such as
Dolby Digital or DTS. Ideally, the center speaker should
be the same distance from the main listening position as
the left and right main speakers. However, in most home
situations, the center speaker is placed in line with the
main speakers. By delaying the sound from the center
speaker, you can adjust the apparent distance from the
center speaker to the main listening position to make it
seem the same as the distance between the listening
position and main left and right speakers.

GLOSSARY
■Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system
to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 main
left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for
dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special sound
effects (monaural). The rear channel reproduces sound
within a narrow frequency range.
Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes
and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as
well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit
employs a digital signal processing system that
automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.
■Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that
gives you completely independent multi-channel audio.
With 3 front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 rear
stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio
channels. With an additional channel especially for bass
effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has
a total of 5.1 channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel).
By using 2-channel stereo for the rear speakers, more
accurate moving sound effects and surround sound
environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The
wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum
volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the
precise sound orientation generated using digital sound
processing provide listeners with previously unheard of
excitement and realism.
With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up
to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for
your enjoyment.
■Matrix 6.1
The unit incorporates Matrix 6.1 decoder for Dolby
Digital and DTS multi-channel software that enables 6.1-
channel reproduction by adding the rear center channel to
existing 5.1-channel format. (The rear center channel is
created from rear left and right channels, and outputted
from virtual rear center speaker.) With this additional
channel, you can experience more dynamic and realistic
moving sound especially with scenes with “fly-over ” and
“fly-around ” effects.
■Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to
decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround
software. This new technology enables a discrete 5-
channel playback with 2 main left and right channels, 1
center channel, and 2 rear left and right channels (instead
of only 1 rear channel for conventional Pro Logic
technology). A music mode is also available for 2-channel
sources in addition to the movie mode.
■DTS (Digital Theater Systems) Digital
Surround
DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound
track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie
theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.
has developed a home theater system so that you can
enjoy the depth of sound and natural spatial
representation of DTS digital surround in your home.
This system produces practically distortion-free 6-channel
sound (technically, a left, right and center channels, 2 rear
channels, plus an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a
total of 5.1 channels).
■LFE 0.1 channel
This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.
The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.
This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a
low frequency range compared to the full-range
reproduced by the other 5 channels in a Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1 channel systems.
■CINEMA DSP
Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were
originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect
is best felt in a theater having many speakers and
designed for acoustic effects. Since home conditions,
such as room size, wall material, number of speakers, and
so on, can differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are
differences in the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth
of actually measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses
YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to
provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater
in the listening room of your own home.
■SILENT CINEMA
YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect
DSP algorithm for headphones.
Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound
field so that accurate representations of all the sound field
programs can be enjoyed using headphones.
■Virtual CINEMA DSP
YAMAHA has developed a virtual CINEMA DSP
algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field
surround effects even without any rear speakers by using
virtual rear speakers.
It is even possible to enjoy virtual CINEMA DSP using a
minimal 2-speaker system that does not include a center
speaker.

ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
■PCM (Linear PCM)
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog
audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without
using any compression. This is used as a method of
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a
technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code
modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.
■Sampling frequency and number of
quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of
times the signal is sampled per second is called the
sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when
converting the sound level into a numeric value is called
the number of quantized bits.
The range of rates that can be played back is determined
based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range
representing the sound level difference is determined by
the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the
sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies
that can be played back, and the higher the number of
quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be
reproduced.

●To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
●Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place – away from
windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust,
moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers,
motors). To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the
speakers to rain or water.
●To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not
place the speakers where they will be exposed to direct sunlight
or excessive humidity.
●Avoid installing the speakers where foreign objects may fall onto
them and/or where they may be exposed to liquid dripping or
splashing.
Do not place the following objects on top of the speakers:
●Other components, as they might cause damage and/or
discoloration on the surface of the speakers.
●Burning objects (i.e. candles), as they might cause fire,
damage to the speakers and/or personal injury.
●Containers with liquid in them, as they might cause electric
shock to the user and/or damage to the speakers.
●Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be knocked
over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also
ensure better sound performance.
●Placing the speakers 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 speakers.
●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 speakers may be damaged.
●When using an amplifier 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 clean the speakers with chemical solvents as
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
●Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact qualified
YAMAHA service personnel when any service is needed. The
cabinet should never be opened for any reason.
●Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding
common operating errors before concluding that the speakers
are faulty.
For SW-P130
●Do not operate this unit upside down. It may overheat, possibly
causing damage.
●Do not use excessive force on switches, controls or connection
wires. When moving this unit, first disconnect the power plug
and the wires connected to other equipments. Never pull the
wires themselves.
●Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate
from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the walls, allowing
at least 20 cm of space above, behind and on both sides of the
unit to prevent fire or damage. Furthermore, do not position with
the rear panel facing down on the floor or other surfaces.
●When using a humidifier, be sure to avoid condensation inside
this unit by allowing enough spaces around this unit or avoiding
excess humidification. Condensation might cause a fire, damage
to this unit, and/or electric shock.
●Do not cover the rear panel of this unit with a newspaper, a
tablecloth, a curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If
the temperature inside this unit rises, it may cause fire, damage
to this unit and/or personal injury.
CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.
Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA NS-P100/NS-P106 Speaker Package.
●Do not plug in this unit to a wall outlet until all connections are
completed.
●The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on
the rear panel. Using this unit with a higher voltage than
specified is dangerous and may cause fire, damage to this unit,
and/or personal injury. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for
any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other
than specified.
●To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug
when there is an electric storm.
●Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may cause a
turntable to generate a howling sound. In such a case, move this
unit away from the turntable.
●This unit may be damaged if certain sounds are continuously
outputted at high volume level. For example, if 20 Hz–50 Hz sine
waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic instruments,
etc. are continuously outputted, or when the stylus of a turntable
touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent
this unit from being damaged.
●If you hear distorted noise (i.e. unnatural, intermittent “rapping” or
“hammering” sounds) coming from this unit, reduce the volume
level. Extremely loud playing of a movie soundtrack’s low
frequency, bass-heavy sounds or similarly loud popular music
passages can damage this speaker system.
●Vibration generated by super-bass frequencies may distort
images on a TV. In such a case, move this unit away from the TV
set.
●When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, grasp
the plug; do not pull the cord.
●When not planning to use this unit for a long period (i.e. vacation,
etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.
●VOLTAGE SELECTOR
(For China, Korean and General models)
The voltage selector switch on
the rear panel of this unit must
be set for your local main
voltage BEFORE plugging this

Before making connections, place all speakers in their respective positions. The positioning of the speakers is important
because it controls the whole sound quality of this system.
Place the speakers depending on your listening position by following the instructions below.
Speaker configuration
<NS-P100>
This speaker package employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2
main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a
subwoofer.
The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear
speakers emit surround sounds, and the center speaker
emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer emits
reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.
<NS-P106>
This speaker package employs a 7 speaker configuration: 2
main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker, a rear
center speaker and a subwoofer.
The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear and
rear center speakers emit surround sounds, and the center
speaker emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer
emits reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.
Note
In this speaker package, the same speakers (NX-E130)
are used for the main and rear speakers (and rear
center speaker for NS-P106).
Placing speakers
Main speakers: On both sides of and at approximately
the same height as the TV set.
Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. About 1.8 m (approx. 6
feet) from the floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers.
Rear center speaker (for NS-P106):
Precisely between the rear speakers.
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical because low bass tones are not
highly directional.
Refer to “Placing the subwoofer” on
page 4 for a recommended positioning
of the subwoofer.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
These speakers feature a magnetically shielded design,
but there is still a chance that placing them too close to a
TV set might impair picture color. Should this happen,
move the speakers away from the TV set.
NS-P100-106 ENG(UB)a 03.2.21, 9:08 AM3

E-4
䡵 Placing the subwoofer
It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside of
either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. Å .) The
placement shown in fig. ı is also possible, however, if the
subwoofer system is placed directly facing the wall, the
bass effect may die because the sound from it and the
sound reflected by the wall may cancel out each other. To
prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer system at
an angle as shown in fig. Å.
Note
There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough super-
bass sounds from the subwoofer when listening in the
center of the room. This is because “standing waves” have
been developed between two parallel walls and they cancel
the bass sounds.
In such a case, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. It
also may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces by
placing bookshelves etc. along the walls.
Use the nonskid pads
Put the provided nonskid pads at the four corners on the
bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer from
moving by vibrations etc.
( : Subwoofer, : Main speaker)
ıÅ
You can place the speaker on top of the TV if the top is flat,
on the floor under the TV, or inside the TV rack . Be sure to
place the speaker in a stable position.
When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the
speaker from falling, attach the provided fasteners at two
points on the bottom of the speaker and on the top of the
TV.
䡵Placing the center speaker
Notes
●Do not place the speaker on top of a TV whose area is
smaller than the bottom of the speaker. If placed, the
speaker may fall and cause injury.
●Do not place the speaker on top of a TV if the top is
inclined.
●Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off
the seal as this will weaken its adhesive strength.
●Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the fastener
is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength is
weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or wet and that
this may cause the center speaker to fall.

* The power might turn on unexpectedly by sensing noise
from other appliances. If that occurs, set the AUTO
STANDBY switch to the OFF position and use the
POWER switch to switch the power between ON and
OFF manually.
* This function detects the low-frequency components
below 200 Hz of the input signals (i.e., the explosion in
the action movie, the sound of the bass guitar or the bass
drum, etc.).
* The minutes required to switch the subwoofer to the
standby mode might change by sensing noise from other
appliances.
This function is available only when the power of the
subwoofer is on (by pressing the POWER switch).
If the source being played is stopped and the input signal is
cut off for 7 to 8 minutes, the subwoofer automatically
switches to the standby mode. (When the subwoofer
switches to the standby mode by the automatic power-
switching function, the power indicator lights up in red.)
When you play a source again, the power of the subwoofer
turns on automatically by sensing audio signals input to the
subwoofer.
This function will operate by sensing a certain level of low
frequency input signal. Usually set the AUTO STANDBY
switch to the LOW position. However, if the power is not
switched on or to the standby mode smoothly, set the switch
to the HIGH position. In the HIGH position, the power will
turn on even with a low level of input signal. But please be
aware that the subwoofer may not switch to the standby
mode when there is an extremely low input signal.

ADVANCED YAMAHA ACTIVE SERVO TECHNOLOGY
(for SW-P130)
The theory of Yamaha Active Servo Technology has been
based upon two major factors, the Helmholtz resonator and
negative-impedance drive. Active Servo Processing
speakers reproduce the bass frequencies through an “air
woofer”, which is a port or opening in the speaker’s cabinet.
This opening is used instead of, and performs the functions
of, a woofer in a conventionally designed speaker system.
Thus, signals of low amplitude within the cabinet can,
according to the Helmholtz resonance theory, be outputted
from this opening as waves of great amplitude if the size of
the opening and the volume of the cabinet are in the correct
proportion to satisfy a certain ratio.
In order to accomplish this, moreover, the amplitudes within
the cabinet must be both precise and of sufficient power
because these amplitudes must overcome the “load”
presented by the air that exists within the cabinet.
Thus it is this problem that is resolved through the
employment of a new design in which the amplifier supplies
special signals. If the electrical resistance of the voice coil
could be reduced to zero, the movement of the speaker unit
would become linear with respect to signal voltage. To
accomplish this, a special negative-impedance output-drive
amplifier for subtracting output impedance of the amplifier is
used.
By employing negative-impedance drive circuits, the
amplifier is able to generate precise, low-amplitude, low-
frequency waves with superior damping characteristics.
These waves are then radiated from the cabinet opening as
high-amplitude signals. The system can, therefore, by
employing the negative-impedance output drive amplifier
and a speaker cabinet with the Helmholtz resonator,
reproduce an extremely wide range of frequencies with
amazing sound quality and less distortion.
The features described above, then, are combined to be the
fundamental structure of the conventional Yamaha Active
Servo Technology.
Our new Active Servo Technology — Advanced Yamaha
Active Servo Technology — adopted Advanced Negative
Impedance Converter (ANIC) circuits, which allows the
conventional negative impedance converter to dynamically
vary in order to select an optimum value for speaker
impedance variation. With this new ANIC circuits, Advanced
Yamaha Active Servo Technology can provide more stable
performance and improved sound pressure compared with
the conventional Yamaha Active Servo Technology, resulting
in more natural and dynamic bass reproduction.

Video Connections
If your AV receiver has video output jacks,
connect your receiver (and then to your TV) so
that you can use one TV for several different
video sources (LD, VCR etc.) by simply switching
the input source selector of your receiver.
The player has three types of video output jacks.
Use one of them in accordance with the input
jacks of the equipment to be connected.
S-Video terminal <A>
S (separate) video connection achieves a clearer
picture than composite video connection by
separating color and luminance when transmitting
signals. Use commercially available S-video cable.
Receiver (and TV) with S-video input is required.
Component Video terminal <B>
Component video connection achieves high
fidelity in reproducing colors (better performance
than S-video connection), separating video signal
into luminance (Y, terminal color-coded as green),
and color difference (Pb, blue/Pr, red). Use
commercially available coaxial cables. Receiver
(and TV) with component input is required.
Observe the color of each jack when connecting.
If your receiver does not have component output
jacks, connecting the player’s component output
directly to your TV’s component input can
reproduce better video image.
Composite Video terminal (1, 2) <C>
Use audio/video cable supplied with this unit
when connecting the player to a TV.
VIDEO 1, 2 jacks of VIDEO OUT output the
same signal. You can connect one to your
receiver’s input using supplied Audio/Video cable,
and the other to another receiver or a TV.
