Thank you for selecting this Yamaha NX-E100 speaker system.
PRECAUTIONS
Read these precautions carefully before using your
speaker.
• Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume
control on the receiver to a lower setting. Never allow
the receiver to be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise the
speaker may be damaged.
• When using a receiver with a rated output power
higher than the nominal input power of the speaker,
care should be taken never to exceed the speaker’s
maximum input.
• Do not attempt to clean the speaker with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. To clean,
wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
• To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring,
do not place the speaker where it will be exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
• Do not place the speaker where it is liable to be
knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound performance.
• Placing the speaker on the same shelf or rack as the
turntable can result in feedback.
• This speaker system is designed for home use only.
Never use this speaker system inside a car.
• Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused
by improper placement or installation of the speaker.
CONNECTION TO YOUR RX-E100 RECEIVER
BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE
THAT THE RX-E100 RECEIVER IS SWITCHED
OFF.
• When this unit is connected to the RX-E100 receiver,
refer also to the owner’s manual supplied with the
receiver.
■CONNECTIONS
• Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of
the speakers to the speaker output terminals of the
receiver with the provided speaker cords.
• One side of the speaker cord is red and the other side is
black. Connect the (+) terminals on the receiver and
speakers using the red side. Connect the (–) terminals
on both components using the black side of the cord.
• Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals
of the receiver, and the other to the right (marked R)
terminals. Make sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –).
If a speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the
sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Procedures:
➀ Loosen the terminal knob.
➁ Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal
hole. [Remove approx. 10 mm (3/8”) insulation from
the speaker cord.]
➂ Tighten the knob.
➃ Test the security of the connection by pulling the cord
gently at the terminal.
Note
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each
other as this could damage the speaker and/or
the receiver.

• Place the speakers on a sturdy, vibration-free surface.
You may not be able to obtain good bass quality when
the speakers are placed directly on the floor. Put a
block, etc. under the speakers.
• Better stereo images will be obtained when the
speakers are slightly angled in towards the listening
position.
The front cover is fastened to the enclosure at four points,
and can be removed if desired. To remove the cover, hold
on to both sides of the cover and slowly pull straight
away from the speaker.
To reattach, line up the four pegs on the inside surface of
the cover with the four corresponding holes on the
speaker and push gently.
