PREPARATION
2■Roles and layout of the speakers
To enjoy quality sounds you need to place the speakers in their appropriate positions and install them correctly.
The following show the recommended layout of the speakers.
For the best possible surround sound, all of the speakers (except the subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance 
from the listening position. 
1Front Speakers (L, R)
Place the front left/right speakers on both sides of your TV at equal distances.
Main roles: Produces front channel (stereo) sounds and effect sounds.
2Center Speaker
Place on top of the TV or inside the TV rack so that the speaker and TV are aligned vertically.
Main role: Produces sounds oriented toward the center of the screen such as dialogues or vocal sounds.
3Surround Speakers (L, R)
Place the surround left/right speakers behind the listening position. (For NX-S301, we recommend placing them at a height of 1.8 m 
(6 feet) and pointing them at the listening position.)
Main roles: Produces surround sounds and effect sounds.
4Subwoofer
Place the subwoofer near a front speaker and turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
Main roles: Produces bass sounds and low frequency (LFE) sounds contained in Dolby Digital or DTS.
To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV. 
Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD receiver and subwoofer.
Bass sounds produced by the subwoofer may be heard differently depending on the listening position and subwoofer location. 
To enjoy desired sounds, try to change the location of the subwoofer according to the listening position.

12 ■Placing the center speaker
When placing the center speaker on top of the TV, use the 
supplied fasteners to secure the speaker.
1Peel off the seals on one side of the fasteners and 
attach them to the bottom of the center speaker.
2Peel off the seals on the other side of the fasteners and 
attach them to the top of the TV.
– Do not place the speaker on the TV if the top of the 
TV is uneven or narrower than the bottom surface 
of the speaker. Doing so may cause the speaker to 
fall. In this case, place the speaker inside a TV rack 
or on a level floor.
– Before attaching the fasteners to the TV, clean the 
surface with a dry cloth. A dirty or wet surface may 
weaken the adhesive force and cause the speaker to 
fall.
– Do not touch the bonding surfaces of the fasteners 
after peeling off the seals. Doing so may weaken 
the adhensive force and cause the speaker to 
fall.this installation. Use metric screw threads only.Attaching to a wall
You can attach the speakers to a wall using commercially 
available screws (Diameter: 3.5 to 4 mm, Length: 25 mm 
or more). Each speaker requires two screws.
1Install two screws in the wall where you want to place 
the speaker.
2Hang the speaker on the screws using the holes in the 
back of the speaker.
– To attach a speaker to a wall using screws, the wall 
must be firm. Do not attach a speaker to a wall that 
is made of weak materials such as plaster or 
veneered woods. Doing so may cause the speaker 
to fall.
– When connectiong the speakers, fix the speaker 
cables in place so that cables do not loosen. If your 
foot or hand accidentally gets caught on a loose 
speaker cable, the speaker may fall.
– After attaching each speaker, check that the 
speaker is fixed securely. YAMAHA will bear no 
reponsibility for any accidents caused by improper 
installations.

Hanging on a wall (NX-S301)
You can hang the speakers on a wall using a commercially 
available bracket and screws (Diameter: 6 mm). Attach a 
bracket firmly to the rear of the speakers using screws. 
Then mount a screw on the wall where the speaker is to be 
hung and hook the speaker securely onto the mounted 
screws.
Do not use screw threads neasured in inches for this 
installation. Use metric screw threads only.
Attaching the base
Attach the base to the bottom of the front/surround 
speakers (NX-S302) with the supplied base mounting 
screws as shown below. 
Placing the speakers (NX-S302) on the places such as hard 
wooden floor may scratch the surface of the floor.
■Placing the subwoofer
Attach the non-skid pads to the bottom of the subwoofer 
(NX-SW301), and then place the subwoofer on a level 
hard floor.
Using non-skid pads prevents the subwoofer from sliding 
when it vibrates, and ensure quality sound production.
