PREPARATION CONNECTIONS CONNECTIONS Connecting speakers and source components CAUTION • Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete. • 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.
CONNECTIONS ■ IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch CAUTION Switch position Impedance level HIGH • If you use one set (A or B), the impedance of each speaker must be 8 Ω or higher. • If you use two sets (A and B) simultaneously, the impedance of each speaker must be 16 Ω or higher. (Except for U.S.A. model) • If you make bi-wire connections, the impedance of each speaker must be 8 Ω or higher. See page 11 for Bi-wire connection.
CONNECTIONS Connecting the FM and AM antennas Indoor antennas for receiving FM and AM broadcasts are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength. Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals. Note If you experience poor reception quality, install an outdoor antenna. Consult the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about outdoor antennas.
CONNECTIONS Connecting an infrared signal receiver or Yamaha component to the REMOTE IN/OUT jacks An infrared signal receiver can be connected to the REMOTE IN jack using a monaural 3.5 mm mini plug cable as follows. In addition, Yamaha components that are capable of transmitting and receiving remote control signals can be connected to the REMOTE IN and REMOTE OUT jacks. Connecting power cable Plug the power cable into the AC wall outlet after all other connections are complete.
BASIC OPERATION PLAYING AND RECORDING PLAYING AND RECORDING CAUTION Extreme caution should be exercised when you play back CDs encoded in DTS. If you play back a CD encoded in DTS on a CD player that does not support DTS, only noise will be heard, and this noise may damage your speakers. Check whether your CD player supports CDs encoded in DTS. Also, check the sound output level of your CD player before you play back a CD encoded in DTS.
PLAYING AND RECORDING Adjusting the tonal quality ■ Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE controls ■ Using the PURE DIRECT switch Routes input signals from your audio sources so that the input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to the audio signals and creating the purest possible sound. The PURE DIRECT indicator lights up and the front panel display turns off after a few seconds.
PLAYING AND RECORDING ■ Adjusting the LOUDNESS control 3 Rotate the LOUDNESS control until the desired volume is obtained. y LOUDNESS VOLUME VOLUME +/– Retain a full tonal range at any volume level, thus compensating for the human ears’ loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.
PLAYING AND RECORDING Recording a source Using the sleep timer Notes • The audio from the current input source is output to the TAPE REC and LINE 1 REC jacks. When TAPE is selected, audio is output to the LINE 1 REC jacks only. When LINE 1 is selected, audio is output to the TAPE REC jacks only. • This unit must be turned on in order to record. • The VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls and the PURE DIRECT switch have no effect on the source being recorded.
