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.

How to Connect:

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

●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.

●Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.

●Banana Plug connections are also possible (except for Scandinavian models). Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

*When connecting Banana Plugs to this unit’s SPEAKERS terminals, be sure to tighten the terminal knobs to make contact securely before connections.

Caution

When inserting the stripped ends of the speaker wires as shown above, make sure at least 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of insulation is inside the wire holders (i.e. no exposed wire is visible) and no loose conductor wire strands are protruding after connection. If wires touch each other or they touch the metal parts of this unit, this unit and/or speakers could be damaged. To prevent speaker wires from coming loose, make sure wire holders are firmly screwed in.

REMOTE CONTROL (PRE AMP) connector

If you have the YAMAHA pre-amplifier CX-1 or CX-2, connect this connector to the REMOTE CONTROL (POWER AMP) connector of the pre-amplifier by using the cable provided with the pre-amplifier. By this connection, the power of this unit is controlled by the pre-amplifier’s POWER switch or the POWER key of the remote control transmitter provided with the pre- amplifier.

After the connection is completed, keep the POWER switch of this unit pressed inward (to the ON position).

Note

If you will not connect the REMOTE CONTROL connectors of this unit and the pre-amplifier, do not connect the cable to either connector. Otherwise, this unit will not function normally.
