CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut to be 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.

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

How to Connect:

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

Press and hold the tab.

Insert the bare wire. [Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”) insulation from the speaker wires.]

Release the tab and secure the wire.

Note for front speaker connection:

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

ABOUT THE ACCESSORY TERMINALS

AC OUTLETS

(U.S.A., Canada and General models)

..........................................................

2 SWITCHED OUTLETS

(Australia model)..................................

1 SWITCHED OUTLET

Use these to connect the power cords from your components to this unit.

The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any component whenever this unit is turned on.

The maximum power (total power consumption of components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLETS is 100 watts (80 watts for Canada model).

REMOTE CONTROL (PHONO) connector

If you have a YAMAHA turntable with the 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 minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.

FRONT OUT terminals

These terminals are for front-channel line output. Leave the jumper bars connected to FRONT IN terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive front speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, remove the jumper bars and connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.

FRONT IN terminals

These terminals are for line input to the built-in front-channel amplifier. Leave the jumper bars connected to FRONT OUT terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive front speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, remove the jumper bars.

EFFECT OUT (REAR) terminals

These terminals are for rear-channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier.

However, if you drive rear speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier to these terminals.

If you use the built-in amplifier and the external power amplifier at the same time, the sound will be output through both speakers.
