Please read the following operating precautions before use. Yamaha will not be held responsible for any damage and/or injury caused by
not following the cautions below.
1. To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
2. Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place – away from
windows, sources of heat, sources of excessive vibration, dust,
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of electrical humming (e.g.,
transformers and motors). To prevent fire or electric shock, do
not expose the speakers to rain or water.
3. To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not
expose the speakers to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
4. Avoid installing the speakers where foreign objects may fall onto
them and/or where they may be exposed to liquid dripping or
splashing.
5. Do not place the following objects on top of the speakers:
– Other components, as they might damage or discolor the
surface of the speakers.
– Burning objects (e.g., candles), as they might cause fire,
damage to the speakers or personal injury.
– Containers of liquid, as they might spill and cause electric
shock to the user or damage to the speakers.
6. 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.
7. Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the turntable
can result in feedback.
8. Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control on your
amplifier to lower setting. Never allow your amplifier to be
driven into “clipping”. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.
9. When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher than
the nominal input power of the speakers, care should be taken
not to exceed the maximum input of the speakers.
10. Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents as
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
11. Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact qualified
Yamaha service personnel when service is needed. The cabinet
should never be opened for any reason.
12. Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section regarding
common operating errors before concluding that the speakers are
faulty.
13. Secure placement or installation is the owner’s responsibility.
Yamaha is not liable for accidents caused by improper
placement or installation of speakers.
For NS-SW280
1. Do not operate this unit upside down. It may overheat, possibly
causing damage.
2. Do not use excessive force on switches, controls or connection
wires. When moving this unit, first disconnect the power plug
and the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the wires
themselves.
3. Never put a hand or a foreign object into the port located on the
right side of this unit. When moving this unit, do not hold the
port, as it might cause personal injury and/or damage to this unit.
4. Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat radiates from
the rear panel. Place the unit away from walls, allowing at least
20 cm (8") of space above, behind and on both sides of the unit
to prevent fire or damage. Furthermore, do not position the unit
with the rear panel facing down on the floor or other surfaces.
5. When using a humidifier, be sure to avoid condensation inside
this unit by allowing enough space around the unit and avoiding
excess humidification. Condensation might cause fire, damage
to the unit, and/or electric shock.
6. Do not cover the rear panel of this unit with a newspaper,
tablecloth, curtain, etc. to avoid obstructing heat radiation. If the
temperature inside the unit rises, it may cause fire, damage to the
unit, or personal injury.
7. Do not plug this unit into a wall outlet until all connections are
complete.
8. The voltage to be used must match that specified on the rear
panel. Using this unit with a voltage higher than specified is dan-
gerous and may cause fire, damage to the unit, and/or personal
injury. Yamaha is not responsible for damage resulting from use
of this unit with a voltage other than specified.
9. Super-bass sound reproduced by this unit may cause a turntable
to generate audio feedback. In this case, move the unit away
from the turntable.
10. This unit may be damaged if certain sounds are continuously
output at high volume level. For example, if 20 Hz–50 Hz sine
waves from a test disc or bass sounds from an electronic
instrument, etc. are continuously output, or if a turntable stylus
touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent
the unit from being damaged.
11. If you hear distorted noise (i.e., unnatural, intermittent “rapping”
or “hammering” sounds) from this unit, reduce the volume level.
Extremely loud movie soundtrack low frequency, bass-heavy
sounds, or similarly loud popular music passages can damage
this unit.
12. Vibration generated by super-bass sound may distort images on a
TV. In this case, move the unit away from the TV set.
13. When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, grasp
the plug; do not pull the cord.
14. When you plan not to use this unit for a long period of time (i.e.
vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall
outlet.
15. Install this unit near the wall outlet and where the AC power plug
can be reached easily.
For U.K. customers
If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug
supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an
appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions
described below.
Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as
a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live
socket outlet.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR U.K. MODEL
Precautions
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is
turned off. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very
small quantity of power.
IMPORTANT:
THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is
coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which
is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Make sure that nei-
ther wire is connected to the earth terminal of a three pin plug.

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha YHT-594 Home Theater Package.
The Yamaha YHT-594 Home Theater Package includes everything you need to add great sound to your home theater. By following
the instructions in this manual, you’ll have your home theater set up in no time and be enjoying music and movies like never before.
See also the AV Receiver’s owner’s manual for full instructions and precautions for AV Receiver.
Make sure the package contains the following items.
Note
• Only the items required to complete the instalation explained in this manual are shown here.
Before you connect the speakers, place each speaker in its respective location.
Speaker positioning is very important as it affects the overall sound quality of the
system. Place the speakers in locations that will optimize the sound quality at
your listening position. Refer to the illustration.
The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as the position of the other
speakers because sub-bass sounds are not very directional.
Notes
• Placing the speakers too close to a CRT-type TV may impair the picture color
or cause a buzzing noise. In this case, move the speakers at least 20 cm (8")
away from the TV. This is not an issue with LCD and plasma TVs.
• See page 7 for information on wall-mounting the speakers.

b INPUT jack
Input jack for connecting the line-level subwoofer output
on your amplifier.
c VOLUME control
Adjusts the volume of the subwoofer. Turn it clockwise to
increase the volume; counterclockwise to decrease the
volume.
d POWER switch
Set this to ON to turn on the subwoofer. Set it to OFF to
turn off the subwoofer.
Setting the subwoofer volume
The very first time you use the subwoofer, you need to set the
volume balance between the subwoofer and the front speakers
as follows.
1 Turn on your other AV components.
2 Set the subwoofer’s VOLUME control to minimum
(0).
3 Set the subwoofer’s POWER switch to ON.
The power indicator on the rear panel lights up.
4 Play an audio source that contains low-frequency
bass sounds. Set the amplifier’s volume control to a
suitable level.
5 Turn the subwoofer’s VOLUME control up gradually
until you achieve a good balance between the
subwoofer and the other speakers.
Notes
• Once the subwoofer volume has been set, you can leave the
subwoofer’s VOLUME control set as it is and use your
amplifier’s volume control to adjust the volume of the entire
system.
• If you replace the front/center speaker (NS-BR300) with
other speakers, you will need to re-adjust the subwoofer’s
volume.
• The frequency characteristics graphs below show how the
subwoofer and front speakers work together to provide a
full-range sound.

English
You can mount the speakers on the wall as follows.
• Surround speakers (NS-B285)
1 Install screws into a solid wall or wall support, as
shown below. Use 3.5 to 4 mm (1/8") diameter self-
tapping screws.
2 Hang each speaker by its keyhole slots onto the
protruding screws.
Note
• Make sure the shaft of the screw is seated in the narrow part
of the keyhole slot. Otherwise, the speaker may fall.
• Front/center speaker (NS-BR300)
1 Use tape or thumbtacks to affix the supplied
mounting template to the wall, and use a pencil or
other tool to mark the hole positions on the wall.
2 Remove the template, and then install screws, as
shown below. Use 3.5 to 4 mm (1/8") diameter self-
tapping screws.
3 Hang the speaker by its keyhole slots onto the
protruding screws.
Note
• Make sure the shaft of each screw is seated in the narrow
part of each keyhole slot. Otherwise, the speaker may fall.
Cautions
• The front/center speaker (NS-BR300) weighs 1.5 kg
(3 lbs.). The surround speakers (NS-B285) weigh 0.45 kg
(1 lbs.). Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood or on
walls with a soft surface material. Otherwise, the screws
may pull out of the surface and the speakers may fall,
causing damage or injury.
• Do not affix the speakers to walls by using nails,
adhesives, or unsuitable hardware. Long-term use and
vibration may cause the speakers to fall.
• To prevent tripping accidents, secure loose speaker cables
to walls, floors, etc., using suitable fasteners.
• Mount the speakers at positions on the walls where
people are unlikely to bump their heads.
• Attach the speakers to a rack or wall. Do not attach the
speakers to walls made of weak materials, such as plaster
or veneered woods. Doing so may cause the speakers to
fall.
• Use commercially available screws that can support the
weight of the speakers.
• Only use the screws specified for attaching the speakers.
Using fasteners other than those specified, such as short
screws, nails, or double-sided tape, may cause the
speakers to fall.
• When connecting the speakers, secure the speaker cables
so that they do not hang loose. If your foot or hand
accidentally gets caught on a loose speaker cable, the
speaker may fall, causing damage or injury.
• After installing each speaker, check that it’s fixed securely.
Yamaha accepts no responsibility whatsoever for
accidents due to improper installation.
Wall-mounting the speakers
Unless you are very competent at DIY, do not wall-mount the
