Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA NS-P430/NS-P436 Speaker Package.

CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.

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 YST-SW015

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 spaces of at least 20 cm 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.

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 unit into the AC main supply. Voltages are 110-120/220-240 V AC, 50/ 60 Hz.

Standby mode

If the POWER switch is set to the ON position and the AUTO STANDBY switch is set to the HIGH or LOW position, this unit turns into the standby mode when no signal is received by this unit for 7 to 8 minutes.

In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
