SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
Before making connections, place all speakers in their respective positions. The positioning of the speakers is important
because it controls the whole sound quality of this system.
Place the speakers depending on your listening position by following the instructions below.
Speaker configuration
<NS-P230>
This speaker package employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2
main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a
subwoofer.
The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear
speakers emit surround sounds, and the center speaker
emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer emits
reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.
<NS-P236>
This speaker package employs a 7 speaker configuration: 2
main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker, a rear
center speaker and a subwoofer.
The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear and
rear center speakers emit surround sounds, and the center
speaker emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer
emits reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.
Note
In this speaker package, the same speakers (NX-230P)
are used for the main and rear speakers (and rear
center speaker for NS-P236).
Placing speakers
Main speakers: On both sides of and at approximately
the same height as the TV set.
Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. About 1.8 m (approx. 6
feet) from the floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers.
Rear center speaker (for NS-P236):
Precisely between the rear speakers.
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical because low bass tones are not
highly directional.
Refer to Placing the subwoofer below
for a recommended positioning of the
subwoofer.

Placing the subwoofer
It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside of
either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. Å .) The
placement shown in fig. ı is also possible, however, if the
subwoofer system is placed directly facing the wall, the
bass effect may die because the sound from it and the
sound reflected by the wall may cancel out each other. To
prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer system at
an angle as shown in fig. Å.
Note
There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough super-
bass sounds from the subwoofer when listening in the
center of the room. This is because standing waves have
been developed between two parallel walls and they cancel
the bass sounds.
In such a case, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. It
also may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces by
placing bookshelves etc. along the walls.
Use the nonskid pads
Put the provided nonskid pads at the four corners on the
bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer from
moving by vibrations etc.
( : Subwoofer, : Main speaker)
ıÅ
You can place the speaker on top of the TV if the top is flat,
on the floor under the TV, or inside the TV rack . Be sure to
place the speaker in a stable position.
When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the
speaker from falling, attach the provided fasteners at two
points on the bottom of the speaker and on the top of the
TV.
Placing the center speaker
Notes
Do not place the speaker on top of a TV whose area
is smaller than the bottom of the speaker. If placed,
the speaker may fall and cause injury.
Do not place the speaker on top of a TV if the top is
inclined.
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 fall.

Automatic power-switching function
If the source being played is stopped and the input signal
is cut off for 7 to 8 minutes, the subwoofer automatically
switches to the standby mode. (When the subwoofer
switches to the standby mode by the automatic power-
switching function, the power indicator lights up in red.)
When you play a source again, the power of the
subwoofer turns on automatically by sensing audio signals
input to the subwoofer.
This function will operate by sensing a certain level of low
frequency input signal. Usually set the AUTO STANDBY
switch to the LOW position. However, if the power is not
switched to ON or STANDBY smoothly, set the switch to
the HIGH position. In the HIGH position, the power will
turn on even with a low level of input signal. But please be
aware that the subwoofer may not switch to the standby
mode when there is an extremely low input signal.
* The power might turn on unexpectedly by sensing noise
from other appliances. If that occurs, set the AUTO
STANDBY switch to the OFF position and use the
POWER switch to switch the power between ON and
OFF manually.
* This function detects the low-frequency components
below 200 Hz of the input signals (i.e., the explosion in
the action movie, the sound of the bass guitar or the
bass drum, etc.).
* The minutes required to switch the subwoofer to the
standby mode might change by sensing noise from
other appliances.
This function is available only when the power of the
subwoofer is on (by pressing the POWER switch).

1 Set the VOLUME control to minimum (0).
2 Turn on the power of all the other
components.
3 Press the POWER switch to the ON position.
* The power indicator on the front panel lights
up in green.
4 Play a source containing low-frequency
components and adjust the amplifiers
volume control to the desired listening level.
5 Set the HIGH CUT switch to the LOW or
HIGH position.
This subwoofer is designed so that the
optimum tone balance between the subwoofer
and the main speakers is obtained when this
switch is set to the LOW position. The tone
balance may change, however, depending on
the room size, the distance from the subwoofer
to the main speakers, and so on. If necessary,
switch it to the HIGH position.
6 Increase the volume gradually to adjust the
volume balance between the subwoofer and
the main speakers.
Normally, set the control to the level where you
can obtain a little more bass effect than when
this unit is not used. If the desired response
cannot be obtained, adjust the HIGH CUT
switch and the VOLUME control again.
Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and
the main speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the
volume of your whole sound system by using the
amplifiers volume control.
However, if you change the main speakers (NX-230P)
to others, you must make this adjustment again.
For adjusting the VOLUME control and the HIGH CUT
switch, refer to Frequency characteristics below.

ADVANCED YAMAHA ACTIVE SERVO TECHNOLOGY
(for YST-SW005)
The theory of Yamaha Active Servo Technology has been
based upon two major factors, the Helmholtz resonator and
negative-impedance drive. Active Servo Processing
speakers reproduce the bass frequencies through an air
woofer, which is a port or opening in the speakers cabinet.
This opening is used instead of, and performs the functions
of, a woofer in a conventionally designed speaker system.
Thus, signals of low amplitude within the cabinet can,
according to the Helmholtz resonance theory, be outputted
from this opening as waves of great amplitude if the size of
the opening and the volume of the cabinet are in the correct
proportion to satisfy a certain ratio.
In order to accomplish this, moreover, the amplitudes within
the cabinet must be both precise and of sufficient power
because these amplitudes must overcome the load
presented by the air that exists within the cabinet.
Thus it is this problem that is resolved through the
employment of a new design in which the amplifier supplies
special signals. If the electrical resistance of the voice coil
could be reduced to zero, the movement of the speaker unit
would become linear with respect to signal voltage. To
accomplish this, a special negative-impedance output-drive
amplifier for subtracting output impedance of the amplifier is
used.
By employing negative-impedance drive circuits, the
amplifier is able to generate precise, low-amplitude, low-
frequency waves with superior damping characteristics.
These waves are then radiated from the cabinet opening as
high-amplitude signals. The system can, therefore, by
employing the negative-impedance output drive amplifier
and a speaker cabinet with the Helmholtz resonator,
reproduce an extremely wide range of frequencies with
amazing sound quality and less distortion.
The features described above, then, are combined to be the
fundamental structure of the conventional Yamaha Active
Servo Technology.
Our new Active Servo Technology Advanced Yamaha
Active Servo Technology adopted Advanced Negative
Impedance Converter (ANIC) circuits, which allows the
conventional negative impedance converter to dynamically
vary in order to select an optimum value for speaker
impedance variation. With this new ANIC circuits, Advanced
Yamaha Active Servo Technology can provide more stable
performance and improved sound pressure compared with
the conventional Yamaha Active Servo Technology, resulting
in more natural and dynamic bass reproduction.

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-SW005 ● ● ● ● 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.

(See fig. Å .) The placement shown in fig. ı is also possible, however, if the subwoofer system is placed directly facing the wall, the bass effect may die because the sound from it and the sound reflected by the wall may cancel out each other. To prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer system at an angle as shown in fig. Å. Note There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough superbass sounds from the subwoofer when listening in the center of the room. This is because “standing waves” have been developed between two parallel walls and they cancel the bass sounds. In such a case, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. It also may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces by placing bookshelves etc. along the walls. Use the nonskid pads Put the provided nonskid pads at the four corners on the bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer from moving by vibrations etc. 䡵 Placing the center speaker You can place the speaker on top of the TV if the top is flat, on the floor under the TV, or inside the TV rack . Be sure to place the speaker in a stable position. When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling, attach the provided fasteners at two points on the bottom of the speaker and on the top of the TV. Screen Notes ● Do not place the speaker on top of a TV whose area is smaller than the bottom of the speaker. If placed, the speaker may fall and cause injury. ● Do not place the speaker on top of a TV if the top is inclined. ● 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 fall.

Refer to page 12–13. 02.5.8, 10:19 PM E-11 Automatic power-switching function If the source being played is stopped and the input signal is cut off for 7 to 8 minutes, the subwoofer automatically switches to the standby mode. (When the subwoofer switches to the standby mode by the automatic powerswitching function, the power indicator lights up in red.) When you play a source again, the power of the subwoofer turns on automatically by sensing audio signals input to the subwoofer. This function will operate by sensing a certain level of low frequency input signal. Usually set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the LOW position. However, if the power is not switched to ON or STANDBY smoothly, set the switch to the HIGH position. In the HIGH position, the power will turn on even with a low level of input signal. But please be aware that the subwoofer may not switch to the standby mode when there is an extremely low input signal. * The power might turn on unexpectedly by sensing noise from other appliances. If that occurs, set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the OFF position and use the POWER switch to switch the power between ON and OFF manually. * This function detects the low-frequency components below 200 Hz of the input signals (i.e., the explosion in the action movie, the sound of the bass guitar or the bass drum, etc.). * The minutes required to switch the subwoofer to the standby mode might change by sensing noise from other appliances. This function is available only when the power of the subwoofer is on (by pressing the POWER switch). 䡵 Adjusting the subwoofer before use Before using the subwoofer, adjust the subwoofer to obtain the optimum volume and tone balance between the subwoofer and the main speakers by following the procedures described below.

This subwoofer is designed so that the optimum tone balance between the subwoofer and the main speakers is obtained when this switch is set to the LOW position. The tone balance may change, however, depending on the room size, the distance from the subwoofer to the main speakers, and so on. If necessary, switch it to the HIGH position. 6 Increase the volume gradually to adjust the volume balance between the subwoofer and the main speakers. English 1 2 Normally, set the control to the level where you can obtain a little more bass effect than when this unit is not used. If the desired response cannot be obtained, adjust the HIGH CUT switch and the VOLUME control again. ● Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and the main speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the volume of your whole sound system by using the amplifier’s volume control. However, if you change the main speakers (NX-230P) to others, you must make this adjustment again. ● For adjusting the VOLUME control and the HIGH CUT switch, refer to “Frequency characteristics” below. 䡵 Frequency characteristics Fig. 1 shows the frequency characteristics of the subwoofer with each position (HIGH/LOW) of the HIGH CUT switch. Fig. 2 shows the optimum volume level with the HIGH CUT switch at the HIGH position, and the frequency characteristics when the subwoofer is combined with NX230P. 100 100 HIGH CUT HIGH 90 VOLUME 90 80 70 80 HIGH CUT LOW 70 0 YST-SW005 I0 60 60 HIGH NX-230P LOW 50 50 HIGH CUT 40 20 50 100 200 500Hz 40 20 Fig. 1 50 100 200 500Hz Fig. 2 E-13 NS-P230-236UB-Ea 13 02.5.8, 10:19 PM ADVANCED YAMAHA ACTIVE SERVO TECHNOLOGY (for YST-SW005) The theory of Yamaha Active Servo Technology has been based upon two major factors, the Helmholtz resonator and negative-impedance drive. Active Servo Processing speakers reproduce the bass frequencies through an “air woofer”, which is a port or opening in the speaker’s cabinet. This opening is used instead of, and performs the functions of, a woofer in a conventionally designed speaker system. Thus, signals of low amplitude within the cabinet can, according to the Helmholtz resonance theory, be outputted from this opening as waves of great amplitude if the size of the opening and the volume of the cabinet are in the correct proportion to satisfy a certain ratio. In order to accomplish this, moreover, the amplitudes within the cabinet must be both precise and of sufficient power because these amplitudes must overcome the “load” presented by the air that exists within the cabinet. Thus it is this problem that is resolved through the employment of a new design in which the amplifier supplies special signals. If the electrical resistance of the voice coil could be reduced to zero, the movement of the speaker unit would become linear with respect to signal voltage. To accomplish this, a special negative-impedance output-drive amplifier for subtracting output impedance of the amplifier is used. By employing negative-impedance drive circuits, the amplifier is able to generate precise, low-amplitude, lowfrequency waves with superior damping characteristics. These waves are then radiated from the cabinet opening as high-amplitude signals. The system can, therefore, by employing the negative-impedance output drive amplifier and a speaker cabinet with the Helmholtz resonator, reproduce an extremely wide range of frequencies with amazing sound quality and less distortion. The features described above, then, are combined to be the fundamental structure of the conventional Yamaha Active Servo Technology. Our new Active Servo Technology — Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology — adopted Advanced Negative Impedance Converter (ANIC) circuits, which allows the conventional negative impedance converter to dynamically vary in order to select an optimum value for speaker impedance variation. With this new ANIC circuits, Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology can provide more stable performance and improved sound pressure compared with the conventional Yamaha Active Servo Technology, resulting in more natural and dynamic bass reproduction.
