PREPARATION
INSTALLATION
Depending on room conditions, the control center can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Precautions before installation
•Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the pad as this will weaken its adhesive strength.
•Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the pad is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength is weakened if the surface is
dusty, oily or wet.
Installing the Control Center Horizontally
Apply the four supplied bottom pads to the bottom of the control center.
Peel off the seals of the bottom pads and apply to the four indented parts (screwed parts) on the bottom
of the control center.
CAUTIONS
•Be sure to use the bottom pads when installing the control center horizontally. Otherwise, the front door of the control
center cannot open.
•Be sure to apply the bottom pads to the indented parts (screwed parts) on the bottom panel. Do not apply them to the
indented parts on the top of the control center.
Bottom panelBottom padPeel off the seal. Apply to the indented part.

Note
•Using only the supporting stand makes the control center unstable and the front door cannot open. Be sure to use the side pads as well.
CAUTIONS
•Be sure to place the control center with the left side down.
•When installing the control center vertically on a high place such as on a shelf, do not place close to the edge.
Installing the Control Center Vertically
Apply the two supplied side pads to the side of the control center and attach to the supplied supporting stand.
1Peel off the seals of the side pads and apply to the two indented parts (near to the front panel) on the
left side of the control center.
2Attach the control center with the pads applied side facing down to the supporting stand as shown in
the illustration below.

CAUTION
Always be sure to turn off the power of the control center and any component to be connected when making connections.
To ensure proper connections
•Connect the white plug of the connection cord to the left “L” (white) audio signal terminal and connect the red plug to the
right “R” (red) terminal.
•Insert the plug securely. If the plug is not inserted securely, noise may result or sound may not be output.
•Since the method of connection and terminal names differ depending on the component being used, be sure to refer to the
instruction manuals for all components being connected.
•After connections have been made, check one more time that wiring has been made properly.

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.

Once all connections have been made, check them one more
time. Finally, insert the plug of the power supply cord for
the control center into an AC outlet. Disconnect the power
supply cord if you will not use the unit for an extended
period.

AC OUTLET (UNSWITCHED)
(Except for Australia model)
Use this outlet to connect the power cord of your
component to this unit. This outlet will supply power to any
connected component regardless of the operation of the
POWER switch on the control center (or p on the remote
control). The maximum power that can be connected to the
AC OUTLET is 100 W.

Note
•When the power of the control center is turned off, that of the YAMAHA subwoofer SW-VS10 is also turned off accordingly.

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).

cord of the subwoofer SW-VS10 into an AC outlet
beforehand and turn on the power of the control center.
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.

3Adjust the level of the test tone using VOL +/–.
(Adjust to your listening level.)
Pressing VOL + increases the level, while pressing
VOL – decreases the level.
4Adjust the sound output level of each speaker
while listening to the test tone.
Pressing f increases the level, while pressing w
decreases the level.
y
•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)
5When 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.
