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.

REMOTE CONTROL (PHONO) connector

AX-592 and AX-892 only

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

PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals AX-592 and AX-892 only

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 sound level.

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.

Note

If you will not use the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, never remove the jumper pins. 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 CD DIRECT AMP and PURE DIRECT switches on the front panel are 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 this 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.
