Caution
■ Read the following before using these speakers:
• 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 dripping or
splashing.
• To prevent the enclosure from warping or
discoloring, do not place the speakers where
they will be exposed to direct sunlight or
excessive humidity.
• Do not place the following objects on top of
the speakers:
1. Glass, china, etc.
If glass etc. falls by vibrations and breaks,
it may cause personal injury.
2. A burning candle etc.
If the candle falls by vibrations, it may
cause fire and personal injury.
3. A vessel with water in it
If the vessel falls by vibrations and water
spills, it may cause damage to the unit, and/
or you may get an electric shock.
• Do not place the speakers where foreign
objects such as water drips might fall. It might
cause a fire, damage to this unit, and/or
personal injury.
• 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.
• 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 of your amplifier immediately. Make
sure the input power does not exceed the
specified maximum input power, otherwise the
speakers will be damaged.
• 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 reasons.
Note:
This speaker is magnetically shielded, but placing
them too close to a TV may impair the TV picture. If
this happens, move the speaker away from the TV.

Setting Up the Speaker
Place the speaker on the floor under the TV or
inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized.
■ Mounting the speaker NS-C225 on
the wall
The speaker can be mounted on a wall by using
the bracket attached to the speaker’s back panel.
Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as
shown in the figure below, and hang the holes on
the protruding screws.
When placing the speaker on top of the TV
To prevent the speaker from falling down, put the
provided fasteners at two points on both bottom
of the speaker and top of the TV.
Notes:
• Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose
area is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker.
If placed, the speaker may drop out causing an
injury to you.
• Do not place the speaker on top of the TV with an
inclination.
• Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off
the seal as this will weaken its adhesive strength.
• Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the
fastener is to be applied. Note that adhesive
strength is weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or
wet and that this may cause the center speaker to
drop.

WARNING:
• The speaker weights 2.8 kg (6.2 lbs). Do not
mount them on thin plywood or soft wall
surface material, as the screws may come out
of the flimsy surface, causing the speakers to
fall down and be damaged, or result in
personal injury.
• Do not fasten the speakers to wall with nails,
adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long
term use and vibrations may cause them to fall
down.
• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping
over loose speaker cords, fix them to the wall.
Holes
Make sure that the screws are caught by a
narrow part of the holes securely.
