■ Main speakers NX-VS10M
Place the main speakers an equal distance from each side of
the TV monitor.
Placing the main speakers at almost the same height as your
listening position is more effective.
■ YAMAHA center speaker
NX-VS10C (sold separately)
Place the center speaker on top of the television and align
the front surface of the speaker with the front surface of the
television monitor. If the speaker cannot be placed on top of
the television, place it on a rack beneath the television as
close to the television monitor as possible.
■ YAMAHA rear speakers NX-VS10E
(sold separately)
Depending on room conditions, it is possible to place
YAMAHA rear speakers NX-VS10E on shelves or hang
them on the wall. Speakers should be placed about 1.5 m
above the floor when you sit on the floor, or about 1.8 m
above the floor when you sit on the chair.
■ YAMAHA subwoofer SW-VS10
(sold separately)
Place the subwoofer at the outside of the either right or left
main speaker and turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce the wall reflections. Try altering the position
of the subwoofer versus the listening position as the relative
position will affect the way the bass sounds.
CAUTION
Although these main speakers are magnetically shielded,
they may still affect the color on the television monitor
when using the speakers near the television. Adjust the
relative positions of the speakers and the television if this
happen. Perform the following steps if you are using a
magnetically shielded television.
1 Turn off the television.
2 Wait awhile and turn the television back on.
You can also use the screw holes on the bottom of the main
speakers for installing the speakers on commercially
available speaker stands.

CAUTIONS
• Do not let the bare speaker wire touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of the speakers. This could
damage the speakers.
• Do not mistakenly connect positive (+) to negative (–) or vice versa when connecting speaker cords.
• Insert the speaker cords securely so that positive (+) and negative (–) do not short. The speaker may not output any
sound or may output noise, causing damage to the speakers, if speaker cords are not inserted securely.
• Only insert the bare wire portion of the speaker cords into the holes. Sound will not be output if you insert as far as the
plastic insulation part of the cord.
• Secure the speaker cords so that they will not catch on hands or feet.
Connecting the Main Speakers
Connect the main speakers to the control center.
Note
• Do not connect any speakers to the speaker terminals on the control center except for the supplied main speakers (NX-VS10M). Damage
may result if a different speaker is connected.

Connecting the Control Center to the Subwoofer
Although the VS-10 alone can be used to reproduce rich and natural sounding audio, the additional use of a subwoofer allows
you to enjoy powerful bass tones.
Connecting the YAMAHA subwoofer, center speaker and rear speakers NX-SW10 (sold separately) can not only increase
bass sensitivity but improve the surround effect.
When connecting your subwoofer, connect
the input terminal on the subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER OUT terminal on the control
center using a commercially available audio
connection cord (1 pin).

ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS
When reproducing the source encoded with a Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or DTS, it is important to adjust the sound
output level heard at the listening position to the same from each speaker. Therefore, the best performance of these digital
sound fields can be obtained. Even when the other sound field is selected, you can enjoy the characteristics of each sound
field.
Speaker output levels may be adjusted using the remote control before playback by following the steps.

3 Adjust the level of the test tone using VOL +/–.
(Adjust to your listening level.)
Pressing VOL + increases the level, while pressing
VOL – decreases the level.

• When only the VS-10 is connected:
Adjust the sound output levels of the rear virtual speakers and the
main speakers so that they become almost the same.
• When the NX-SW10 is connected:
Adjust the sound output levels of the center speaker and the rear
speakers so that they become almost the same as that of the main
speakers.
Notes
• When the sound output levels of the main speakers are adjusted,
adjust the sound output levels of the center speaker, rear speakers
and rear virtual speakers again.
• The sound output levels of right and left virtual speakers cannot
be adjusted separately. While one level is adjusted, the other is
also adjusted similarly.
• When the headphones are connected, the order of each speaker
from which a test tone is heard is the same as that of VS-10 only.
However, the sound output level of main speakers cannot be
adjusted. Only the sound output level of rear speakers can be
adjusted, however, that level cannot be adjusted for each right or
left rear speaker separately. (Adjustable range: –3 to +3 dB)
5 When the adjustment is complete, press TEST.
A test tone stops.
y
The sound output level can be adjusted in the following range.
• When only the VS-10 is connected or the VIRTUAL
SURROUND is selected:
– Right and left main speakers: –10 to ±0 dB
– Rear virtual speakers: –3 to +3 dB
– The minimum level for the main speakers is –10 dB, while that
for the rear virtual speakers is –3 dB.
• When the NX-SW10 is connected:
– Right and left main speakers: –10 to ±0 dB
– Center speaker: –20 to +6 dB
– Right and left rear speakers: –20 to +6 dB
– The minimum level for the main speakers is –10 dB, while that
for the center speaker and the rear speakers is –20 dB.
