Yamaha RX-497 owner manual Connections

CONNECTIONS

CAUTION

•Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.

•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/ or the speakers.

•All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components.

•Use the RCA type pin plug cables for audio and video components except speakers.

y

•The PHONO jacks are designed to connect a turntable with an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low- output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting transformer or an MC-head amplifier when connecting your turntable to the PHONO jacks.

•Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However, you may hear less noise without the connection to the GND terminal for some record players.
