Note
• Do not bundle audio cables and speaker cables together with the
power cable. Doing so may generate noise.
• The PHONO jacks are designed for connecting a turntable with
an MM cartridge.
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in
the signal. However, for some turntables, you may hear less
noise without the GND connection.
• If you have a Yamaha subwoofer that supports a system
connection, you can switch the power of the subwoofer in
conjunction with tuning on/off this unit by connecting the
subwoofer to the TRIGGER OUT jack with a monaural mini-
plug cable.
• In order to prevent the audio signal from looping when an audio
recording device is connected, the audio signal is not output
from the LINE 2 (OUT) jacks when LINE 2 is selected.
Similarly, the audio signal is not output from the LINE 3 (OUT)
jacks when LINE 3 is selected.
Connecting the speakers
CAUTION
Connect the speakers with impedance as shown below. If you
connect speakers with an excessively low impedance, this unit
may overheat. You can change the speaker impedance setting of
this unit in “SP. IMP” (p. 52) in the ADVANCED SETUP menu.
■
Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the
negative (–) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and the
other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are
colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to the
negative and the other wire to the positive terminal.
a
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the ends of
the speaker cable and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.
b
Loosen the speaker terminal.
c
Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper
right or bottom left) of the terminal.
d
Tighten the terminal.
Note
When inserting speaker cables into the speaker terminals, insert
only the bare speaker wire. If insulated cable is inserted, the
connection may be poor and sound may not be heard.
■
Connecting via banana plug
(North America, Australia,
General models only)
Tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug into the
end of the corresponding terminal.
