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 performance.
Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the turntable can result in feedback.
Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control on your amplifier to lower setting. Never allow your amplifier to be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

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.
Never put a hand or a foreign object into the port located on the right side of this unit. When moving this unit, do not hold the port, as it might cause personal injury and/or damage to this unit.
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 (8") of space above, behind and on both sides of the unit to prevent fire or damage. 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, and/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, and/or personal injury. Yamaha is not responsible for damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than specified.
Super-bass sound 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 20 Hz–50 Hz 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 this unit.
Vibration generated by super-bass sound 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.

Package contents
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha NS-P280 5.1CH Speaker Package.
Make sure the package contains the following items.
■ Subwoofer (NS-SW280 x1)
The Subwoofer features a built-in power amplifier and utilizes
Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology to provide high-quality sub-bass sound that adds real “punch” to your home theater.
■ Front, center, and surround speakers (NS-B280 x5)
The front, center, and surround speakers are full-range acoustic-suspension speakers.
■ Front, center, and surround speakers
Non-skid pad
Non-skid pads: When placing the speakers on a flat surface, affix the included non-skid pads to the corners of the speaker undersides, as shown. The pads will prevent the speakers from moving around.
Subwoofer cable,
5 m (16 ft.) x1
Speaker cable, 25 m (82 ft.) x1
(To be cut into 5 lengths for the front, center, and surround speakers. Take care to prevent injury when preparing the cables.)
Non-skid pads (20 pcs.) x1
(For the front, center, and surround speakers.)
Installing 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.
The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as the position of the other speakers because sub-bass
sounds are not very directional. Refer to “Installing the subwoofer” on page 2 for more information.
Note
• Placing the speakers too close to a CRT-type TV may impair the picture color or cause a buzzing noise. In this case, move the speakers at least 20 cm
(8") away from the TV. This is not an issue with LCD and plasma TVs.

Installing the speakers
Installing the front, center, and surround speakers
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 meters (approx. 6 ft.) above the floor.
You can place the front and surround speakers on tables or other supports, or mount them on the walls.
For more information, see “Wall-mounting the speakers”.
Center speaker: Place the center speaker centrally between the front speakers, facing directly forward.
Installing the subwoofer
Place the subwoofer on the outside of either the right or the left front speaker, as shown in A and B .
A B
Wall-mounting the speakers
You can mount the speakers on the wall as follows.
1
Install screws into a solid wall or wall support as shown below. Use 3.5 to 4 mm (1/8") diameter self-tapping screws.
2
Hang each speaker by its keyhole slots onto the protruding screws.
Note
• Make sure the shaft of the screw is seated in the narrow part of the keyhole slot. Otherwise, the speaker may fall.
Wall/wall support
6 mm
(1/4")
Minimum
20 mm (3/4")
45 mm
(1-3/4")
C
Note: Standing waves may make it difficult to hear bass sounds here.
Warnings
• Each speaker weighs 0.45 kg (1 lbs.). Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood or on a wall with a 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.
Subwoofer Front speaker
The placement shown in C is also possible, however, if the subwoofer is placed directly facing a wall and your listening position is in the center of the room, you may not be able to obtain enough bass sound from the subwoofer. This is because “standing waves” are forming between the two parallel walls and cancelling out the bass sounds. In this case, position the subwoofer at an angle to the wall. It may be necessary to break up parallel wall surfaces by placing bookshelves, etc., along them.

Connecting the speakers
Caution: Make sure the power cables for the subwoofer and your other AV components are disconnected from the
AC wall outlets before making any connections.

Preparing the speaker cables
Once you’ve positioned the speakers, you’ll need to cut the 25-meter (82 ft.) speaker cable to make five cables for connecting the two front speakers, center speaker, and the two surround speakers.
1
Cut the included speaker cable to suitable lengths for the front, center, and surround speakers. You need five cables.
2
Remove about 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from the end of each speaker wire.
3
Twist the bare wires tightly.
10 mm (3/8")
Good No Good
Notes
• Make the speaker cables as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.
• Twist the bare wires tightly so the individual strands are not splayed.
• Be careful not to injure yourself while preparing the speaker cables.

3
Press and hold the terminal tab.
Insert the bare wire.
Release the tab so that it closes securely on the bare wire, not the insulation.
4
Test the security of the connection by pulling gently on the cable.
Notes
• Make sure the bare wires do not touch each other, as this could damage the speaker or the amplifier.
• If the connections are faulty, you will hear no sound from the speakers.
■
Connecting the speakers
Connect each speaker to the appropriate speaker terminals on your amplifier by using the cables you
prepared earlier. See the “Connection diagram” on page 3 for reference.
Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct polarity—positive (+) terminals to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to negative (–) terminals. If you get them crossed over, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
In your AV receiver’s speaker size settings, specify small (or “S”) for all of the NS-P280 speakers.
If you’re connecting the subwoofer to a Yamaha DSP amplifier or AV receiver, connect to its SUBWOOFER or LOW PASS output.
Connecting the power cables
Once you’ve completed all of the speaker and subwoofer connections, plug the subwoofer, amplifier, and your other AV components into suitable AC wall outlets.
