Attaching The Grille; Specifications - Yamaha NS-F500 Mode D'emploi

■
When connecting the speaker cable
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this
could damage the speaker or the amplifier.
• Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct
polarity—positive (+) terminals to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them crossed over, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.
• Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of
your amplifier or receiver, and another speaker to the
right (marked R) terminals.
• Please refer to the owner's manual that came with your
amplifier or receiver.
■
How to connect the speaker cables
1.
Loosen the terminal knob.
2.
Remove 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from each end of the
cables, and twist the exposed conductors together neatly
and tightly, as shown below.

3.

4.
Tighten the knob and secure the cable.
5.
Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on
the cable at the terminal.
Notes
• When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher
than the nominal input power of the speaker, care should be
taken never to exceed the speaker's maximum input.
• The speaker may be damaged if certain sounds are
continuously output at high volume level. For example, if sine
waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic
instruments, etc., are continuously output, or when the stylus
of a turntable touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume
level to prevent the speaker from being damaged.

ATTACHING THE GRILLE

The speaker and the grille are packed separately. To attach
the grille, line up the projections (magnets) on the reverse
side of the grille with their corresponding screw heads on
the speaker.
Notes
• When removing the cover, be careful not to touch the drive
units, and not to exert excessive force with any tools.
• Do not touch or apply impact to the speaker's diaphragm.
Otherwise, the speaker may malfunction.
• There are magnets on the reverse side of the grille. Do not
place the grille close to objects that might be affected by
magnets, such as CRT TV, clock, magnetic card, diskette,
etc., after removing it.
