SPEAKER SETUP

SPEAKER SETUP
Surround speakers (SR and SL)

Speaker placement
You can enjoy this unit with the following speaker setup to
obtain the best surround sound.

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above
the floor.

Subwoofer
FL

30˚

SR
60˚

80˚

y
The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R* speaker
setting. ITU-R recommends that the front left and right speakers
be placed at 30° from the central listening position, and that the
surround left and right speakers be placed at between 60° and 80°
from the central listening position.
* ITU-R: for more information (see page 56).

1.8 m (6 ft)

Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker
from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel sounds
(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical
to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,
however, are obtained with the full system. Align the front
face of the center speaker with the front face of your video
monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front
speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as
directly over or under it.

The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (lowfrequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and
DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical, because low bass sounds are not highly
directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce wall reflections.

SPEAKER SETUP

Speaker connections

Return the tab to secure the wire.

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),
“+” (colored) and “–” (black) properly. 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.

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 ridges.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+”
(colored) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect
the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

Colored: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)

■ Cable tags
5 pairs of different colored cable tags are provided with
this product. The colors of the cable tags and their
respective speaker cables are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•

Red: Front right speaker cable
White: Front left speaker cable
Green: Center speaker cable
Gray: Surround right speaker cable
Blue: Surround left speaker cable

To make it easier to distinguish the various speaker cables,
attach the colored tags to the appropriate speaker cables as
shown below.

10 mm (3/8")

PREPARATION

CAUTION
• If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s
speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see
“IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch” on page 10).
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the
power of this unit is off.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do
not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This
could damage this unit and/or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speakers still creates the interference with the monitor,
place the speakers away from the monitor.

R
L

Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of
insulation from each of the speaker cables.

Twist the exposed wires of the cable together
to prevent short circuits.

Press and hold the tab to insert the speaker
wire.

SPEAKER SETUP

■ IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch
CAUTION
Do not change the setting of the IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR switch when the unit power is switched on,
as doing so may damage the unit.
If this unit fails to turn on when STANDBY/ON is pressed
on either the front panel or remote control, the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be fully slid to
either position. If this is the case, slide the switch all the
way to either position when this unit is in standby mode.
Be sure to move this switch only when this unit is in
standby mode.
Select the switch position (top or bottom) according to the
impedance of the speakers in your system.

• The acoustics of your listening room affect the sound field
program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to
maximize the effect created by the program.
• When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects
the last sound field program used with that source.
• When you set this unit in standby mode, it stores the current
source and sound field program in memory and automatically
selects them when you turn on the power again.
• If the unit receives a Dolby Digital or DTS signal when the
input mode is set to AUTO, the CINEMA DSP sound field
programs automatically switches to the appropriate decoding
program.
• When the unit is reproducing a monaural source with PRO
LOGIC, PRO LOGIC Enhanced, PRO LOGIC II Game or PRO
LOGIC II Movie, no sound is output from the front and
surround speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center
speaker. (If CENTER SP in SPEAKER SET in the SOUND
menu is set to “None”, the center channel sound is output from
the front speakers.)
• Sampling frequencies higher than 48 kHz (except for DTS 96/
24 signals) will be sampled down to 48 kHz, then sound field
programs will be applied.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multichannel playback from
almost any sound source (stereo or multichannel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field
processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.
Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous
concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.
y
The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to
AUTO (see page 35) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.

Notes
• This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in
the actual hall, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.
• Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself.

For movie/video sources
You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI”
can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel

ADVANCED OPERATIONS

Virtual CINEMA DSP

Selecting input modes

Virtual CINEMA DSP allows you to enjoy DSP sound
field programs without surround speakers. It creates
virtual speakers to reproduce the natural sound field.
If SURR L/R SP in SPEAKER SET is set to “NONE”,
Virtual CINEMA DSP activates automatically whenever
you select a CINEMA DSP sound field program.

This unit comes with a variety of input jacks. Do the
following to select the type of input signals you want to
use.
Use this feature to designate the input mode for sources
connected to the DIGITAL INPUT jacks when you turn on
this unit (see page 44 for details about the input mode).

Note

Virtual CINEMA DSP will not activate, even when Surround L/R
is set to “None” (see page 40), in the following cases:
– When the 5ch Stereo, 2ch Stereo, Direct Stereo, or
SUR. STANDARD program is selected.
– When the sound effect is turned off.
– When headphones are connected.

You cannot change the input mode when INPUT MODE of SET
MENU is set to “FIX”. In this case, change the setting to
“AUTO” or “LAST” (see page 44).

Notes
• When the SETTING parameter in INPUT MODE is set to
“FIX”, you cannot switch the input mode by pressing INPUT
(see page 44).
• When playing a disc encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS on
some LD or DVD players, there is a delay in sound output for a
moment when playback resumes after a search, because the unit
must select the digital signal again.
• When playing an LD source that has not been digitally
recorded, the unit may not output any sound for some LD
players. In this case, set the input mode to Analog.
• If you attempt to search (forward or backward) during playback
of a DTS-encoded disc, noise may occur periodically. If this
happens, set the input mode to DTS.
• When you play DTS-encoded CD/LDs with the input mode set
to AUTO, this unit automatically switches to the DTS decoding
mode. The unit remains in DTS mode (and the t indicator
may flash) for a few seconds after playback of the DTS source
is complete. To manually release the DTS mode, press INPUT

EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS

EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS
What is a sound field
What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument
are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In
addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections
enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size
and shape of the room in which we are sitting.

Sound field parameter
descriptions
You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field
parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in
your listening room. Not all of the following parameters
are found in every program.

For details on how to change parameter settings, see page 39.

■ Elements of a sound field

STEREO

HALL

In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming
straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are
two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to
make up the sound field:

Early reflections
Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms
– 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one
surface only – for example, from the ceiling or a wall.
Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.

Reverberations
These are caused by reflections from more than one
surface – walls, ceiling, the back of the room – so
numerous that they merge together to form a continuous
sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen
the clarity of the direct sound.
Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent
reverberation taken together help us to determine the
subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this
information that the digital sound field processor
reproduces in order to create sound fields.
If you could create the appropriate early reflections and
subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you
would be able to create your own listening environment.
The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a
concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at
all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly
what YAMAHA has done with the digital sound field
processor.

Audio formats
■ 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 surround
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 surround 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.

■ 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 front left and right channels, 1 center
channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of
only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic
technology). Music and Game modes are also available for
2-channel sources in addition to the Movie mode.

■ DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality
for multi-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is fully
backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. “96” refers
to a 96 kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48 kHz
sampling rate). “24” refers to 24-bit word length. DTS 96/
24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality fullmotion video for music programs and motion picture
soundtracks on DVD-video.

■ 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 surround channels, plus
an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1channels). The unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that
enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding the surround
back channel to existing 5.1-channel format.

■ Dolby Surround

ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION

Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system
to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front
left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog
(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound
effects (monaural). The surround 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.

GLOSSARY

Sound field programs

Audio information

■ CINEMA DSP

■ ITU-R

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.

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU
(International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R
recommends a standard speaker placement which is used
in many critical listening rooms, especially for mastering
purposes.

■ 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 on 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 surround speakers by
using virtual surround speakers.
It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a
minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center
speaker.

■ 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 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.

■ 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.

Video signal information
■ Composite video signal
With the composite video signal system, the video signal
is composed of three basic elements of a video picture;
color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite
video jack on a video component transmits these three
elements combined.

We Want You Listening for a Lifetime
Yamaha and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most enjoyment out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level
— a level that lets the sound come through loud and
clear without annoying blaring or distortion — and, most
importantly, without damaging your sensitive hearing.

Since hearing damage from loud
sounds is often undetectable until it is
too late, Yamaha and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group recommend that
you avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive volume levels.

NSP240,246_U.book Page iii Wednesday, October 22, 2003 3:29 PM

Precautions
• 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, sources of heat, sources of excessive
vibration, dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of
electrical humming (e.g., transformers and 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 expose the speakers 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 damage or discolor the surface of the speakers;
• Burning objects (e.g., candles), as they might cause
fire, damage to the speakers or personal injury;
• Containers of liquid, as they might spill and cause
electric shock to the user 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.
• 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 is not liable for accidents caused by
improper placement or installation of speakers.
• If you note distortion, reduce the volume control on
your amplifier. Do not drive your amplifier to the
point of “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 not to exceed the speakers’ maximum input.
• Do not 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 service is
needed. Do not open the cabinet under any circumstances.
• Please read the “Troubleshooting” section regarding
common operating errors before concluding that the
speakers are faulty.

For the SW-P240
• 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 equipment. Never pull the wires themselves.
• Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat
radiates from the rear panel. Place the unit away from
walls, allowing at least 20 cm of space above, behind
and on both sides of the unit to prevent fire or dam-

iii

age. Furthermore, do not position the unit 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 space around
the unit and avoiding excess humidification. Condensation might cause fire, damage to the unit, or electric
shock.
Do not cover the rear panel of this unit with a newspaper, tablecloth, curtain, etc. to avoid obstructing
heat radiation. If the temperature inside the unit rises,
it may cause fire, damage to the unit, or personal
injury.
Do not plug this unit into a wall outlet until all connections are complete.
The voltage to be used must match that specified on
the rear panel. Using this unit with a voltage higher
than specified is dangerous and may cause fire, damage to the unit, or personal injury. Yamaha is not
responsible for damage resulting from use of this unit
with a voltage other than specified.
To prevent damage from lightning, disconnect the AC
power plug during electric storms.
Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may
cause a turntable to generate audio feedback. In this
case, move the unit away from the turntable.
This unit may be damaged if certain sounds are continuously output at high volume level. For example, if
20Hz–50Hz sine waves from a test disc or bass
sounds from an electronic instrument, etc. are continuously output, or if a turntable stylus touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent the
unit from being damaged.
If you hear distorted noise (i.e., unnatural, intermittent “rapping” or “hammering” sounds) from this
unit, reduce the volume level. Extremely loud movie
soundtrack low frequency, bass-heavy sounds, or similarly loud popular music passages can damage the
speaker system.
Vibration generated by super-bass frequencies may
distort images on a TV. In this case, move the unit
away from the TV set.
When disconnecting the power cord from the wall
outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.
When you plan not to use this unit for a long period
of time (i.e., vacation, etc.) disconnect the AC power
plug from the wall outlet.
Do not place much pressure against the subwoofer
net. It may break the net or the unit may fall, resulting
in injury.
Do not place anything fragile beside the subwoofer.
The air pressure produced by the subwoofer may
break the objects and cause malfunction or injury.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.

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. Refer to the illustration below.
The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as
the position of the other speakers because low bass
tones are not highly directional. Refer to “Positioning the subwoofer (SW-P240)” on page 4 for more
information.
Note: These speakers are magnetically shielded.
However, if you place them too close to a TV, they
may impair picture color. In this case, move the
speakers further away from the TV.

Non-skid pad

Front speakers: Place the two front speakers on
the left and right sides of the TV, at approximately
the same height as the TV, facing directly forward.
Surround speakers: Place the left and right
surround speakers behind your listening position,
facing slightly inward, about 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet)
above the floor.

behind your listening position, precisely between
the surround speakers, about 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet)
above the floor.
You can set the front, surround, and surround back
speakers on tables or other supports, or mount
them on a wall or speaker stand. (For more information, see “Mounting the front and surround
speakers” on page 5.)

Non-skid pads: When placing the speakers on a
flat surface, attach the included non-skid pads to
the corners of the speaker bottoms, as shown
above. The non-skid pads will prevent the speakers
from sliding.

NSP240,246_U.book Page 4 Wednesday, October 22, 2003 3:29 PM

Positioning the center speaker
(NX-C120)

Positioning the subwoofer
(SW-P240)

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. Be sure to place the
speaker in a stable location.

Although the placement of the subwoofer is not as
critical as that of the other speakers, it is best to
place the subwoofer outside either the right or left
front speaker. (See Figure A.)

When placing the speaker on top of a TV, to prevent the speaker from falling, attach the provided
fasteners at two points on the bottom of the speaker
and on top of the TV, as illustrated below.

The placement shown in Figure B is also acceptable. However, in some cases, if you listen from
the center of the room, the super-bass range from
the subwoofer may sound weak. This is due to
“standing waves” that can develop between parallel walls that effectively diminish or cancel the
bass sound. In this event, face the subwoofer
obliquely to the wall. It also may help to break up
the parallel surface by placing bookshelves or
other large objects along the wall.

Cautions:
• Do not place the center speaker on a TV that has a top
surface area smaller than the speaker bottom. Otherwise, the speaker may fall and cause injury.
• Do not place the center speaker on a TV that has a
slanted or inclined top.
• Do not touch the adhesive surface of a fastener after
you peel off the seal, as this will weaken the adhesive
strength of the fastener.
• Thoroughly wipe to clean the surface where the fastener is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength will
be weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or wet. Weakened adhesive may cause the center speaker to fall.

Non-skid pads: Place the included non-skid
pads at the four corners of the bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer from sliding due
to vibration or minor impact.

Mounting the front and surround
speakers

To attach to a bracket:
1. Attach a bracket (part number AAX34790) to

You can place the front and surround speakers (and
surround back speaker in an NS-P246 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:
1. Affix screws to a firm wall or wall support as

the bottom of the speaker using a screw (part
number AAX12390) such that the convex part
of the bracket fits over the groove in the bottom
of the speaker, as shown below.

2. Mount the speaker on the speaker stand by affixing a pair of screws through the outside bracket
holes.

Note: Make sure that the
screws are securely affixed in
the narrow part of the holes.

You can mount the front, surround, and surround
back speakers on a speaker stand, such as the
optional Yamaha SPS-80. (For more information,
refer to the instruction manual for the SPS-80.)
Note: The SPS-80 may be unavailable in certain
regions.

Cautions:
• Each front or surround speaker weighs 0.9 kg
(2.0 lbs.). Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood
or on a wall made of soft surface material. Otherwise,
the screws may pull out of the surface and the speakers may fall, possibly damaging the speakers or causing personal injury.
• Do not affix the speakers to a wall using nails, adhesives, or unstable hardware. Long term use and vibration may cause the speakers to fall.
• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose
speaker cables, affix the cables to the wall.
• Mount the speakers in a wall location that will be
unlikely to result in injury to an individual’s head.

Connecting speaker cables
Keep the speaker cables as short as possible. Do
not bundle or roll up excess cable. If the connections are faulty, you will hear no sound from the
speakers.

Before connecting the cables:
Remove a small amount (about 10 mm) of insulation coating from the end of each speaker cable.

One side of the included speaker cable is marked
with a broken white line; the other side is unlined.
Connect the (+) terminal on the speaker to the (+)
terminal on the amplifier using the cable side
marked with the broken white line. Connect the (–)
terminals on both components using the unlined
side of the speaker cable.

Inserting the cables:
1. Press and hold the terminal tab, as shown in the
figure below.

Black: negative (–)

Red: positive (+)

2. Insert the stripped wire core.

Connections:
• Connect the front, center and surround speakers (and
surround back speaker for the NS-P246) to the
speaker output terminals on your amplifier using the
included speaker cables.
– The included speaker cables have labels marked
FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, REAR L, REAR
R (and REAR C for NS-P246). Connect each
speaker cable to the corresponding speaker as illustrated in the figure on page 6.
– Connect each speaker making sure not to reverse
the polarity (+, –). If the speaker is connected with
reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and
lack bass.
– For the front and surround speakers only, connect
one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals on
your amplifier, and the other speaker to the right
(marked R) terminals.
• Connect the subwoofer to the line output (pin jack)
terminal(s) on the amplifier.
– To connect to a Yamaha DSP amplifier (or AV
receiver), connect the SUBWOOFER (or LOW
PASS, etc.) terminal on the rear of the DSP amplifier (or AV receiver) to the INPUT terminal on the
subwoofer.

Connecting components and the
subwoofer to AC power
After you complete all speaker and subwoofer connections, plug the amplifier, other audio/video
components, and the subwoofer into an AC outlet
of appropriate voltage. Make sure the subwoofer’s
VOLUME control is set to 0 before proceeding to
adjust the speaker balance as described on page 8.

Black: negative (–)

Red: positive (+)

3. Release your finger from the tab to allow it to
lock securely on the cable’s wire core.

4. Test the security of the connection by pulling
gently on the cable at the terminal.
Note: Do not let uninsulated speaker wires touch
each other as this could damage the speaker or the
amplifier.

sounds. Adjust the amplifier’s volume control to
the desired listening level.

5. Increase the volume gradually to adjust the volume balance between the subwoofer and the
front speakers. In most cases, set the control to a
level at which you hear slightly more bass than
when the subwoofer is not used.

6. Adjust the volume of the entire sound system
using the amplifier’s volume control.
• If you replace the front speakers (NX-S120) with
other speakers, you must again balance the subwoofer
and surround speaker volume.
• For more information on adjusting the VOLUME
control, refer to “Frequency characteristics” on
page 11.

Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology (on the SW-P240)
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
featuring a Helmholtz resonator, reproduce an
extremely wide range of frequencies with outstanding sound quality and low distortion.
The features described above combine to create the
fundamental structure of conventional Yamaha
Active Servo Technology.

The theory behind Yamaha Active Servo Technology is based on two 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 Helmholtz resonance theory, be
output from this opening as waves of great amplitude if the size of the opening and the volume of
the cabinet are in 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 in
the cabinet.

Our new Active Servo Technology — Advanced
Yamaha Active Servo Technology — adopts
Advanced Negative Impedance Converter (ANIC)
circuits, which allow the conventional negative
impedance converter to dynamically vary to select
an optimum value for speaker impedance variation.
With these new ANIC circuits, Advanced Yamaha
Active Servo Technology provides a more stable
performance and improved sound pressure compared to conventional Yamaha Active Servo Technology, resulting in more natural and dynamic bass
reproduction.

This problem is resolved by a 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, the system utilizes a special negative-impedance output-drive amplifier that subtracts the output impedance of the amplifier.
