To reproduce multi-channel surround sounds with this unit,
connect five speakers (Yamaha NS-U40P, etc.) to this unit
as follows: a pair of front speakers to the FRONT L and R
terminals, a center speaker to the CENTER terminal, and a
pair of surround speakers to the REAR L and R terminals.
When using only one pair of speakers, connect one
speaker to the FRONT L terminal, and the other to the
FRONT R terminal.

*

When the supplied Application Software is installed on
the computer connected to this unit, the Application
enables you to make “Speaker Settings”. In the settings,
you can select the speakers to use and not to use, and
also set the sizes of the speakers to use. Refer to page
27 of the separate “OPERATION MANUAL” for details.

Notes

Use speakers which do not have a built-in amplifier.

Use speakers whose impedance is 4

 or more.

Connect the left speaker to the left speaker connector on

this unit and the right speaker to the right speaker

connector.

Make sure that the + and – polarity markings of the

speaker cables are observed and set correctly. If these

cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack

bass.
