CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could damage this unit and/or speakers.

English

●One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

ABOUT THE OTHER REAR PANEL PARTS

REMOTE CONTROL (PHONO) connector

If you have a YAMAHA turntable with a terminal for remote control, connect it to this connector by using the cable provided with the turntable. This connection allows you to control the turntable from the provided remote control transmitter.

GND terminal (For turntable use)

Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to this terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.

PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals

Removing the jumper pins enables this unit to independently perform the functions of a control amplifier and a power amplifier. These terminals are for connection of a signal- processing system such as a graphic equalizer or sound processor.

If a sound processor or other external unit is connected between these terminals, the VOLUME control of this unit can be used for overall adjustment of the level of sound.

To connect such a unit, remove the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, connect the inputs of that unit to the PRE OUT terminals and its outputs to the MAIN IN terminals. For details, refer to the owner’s manual included with the unit to be connected.

Notes

●If you will not use the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, never remove the jumper pins from these terminals. If removed, no sound will be output from this unit.

●If you will use this unit with an external unit connected between the PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals, make sure that the PURE DIRECT switch on the front panel is turned off.

●If you will use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the outputs of an external control amplifier etc. to this unit’s MAIN IN terminals. In that case, this unit’s controls will not function except the PHONES jack and the SPEAKERS switches, so use the controls on the external control amplifier to make volume adjustment etc.
