Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut 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.
How to Connect:
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
➀
Unscrew the knob.
➁
Insert the bare wire.
➂
Tighten the knob and
secure the wire.
● One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.
If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either
the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.
● Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
● Banana Plug connections are also possible (except for
Scandinavian models). Simply insert the Banana Plug
connector into the corresponding terminal.
*When connecting Banana Plugs to this unit’s SPEAKERS
terminals, be sure to tighten the terminal knobs to make
contact securely before connections.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS
REMOTE CONTROL (PRE AMP) connector
If you have the YAMAHA pre-amplifier CX-1 or CX-2, connect
this connector to the REMOTE CONTROL (POWER AMP)
connector of the pre-amplifier by using the cable provided with
the pre-amplifier. By this connection, the power of this unit is
controlled by the pre-amplifier’s POWER switch or the POWER
key of the remote control transmitter provided with the pre-
amplifier.
After the connection is completed, keep the POWER switch of
this unit pressed inward (to the ON position).
Note
If you will not connect the REMOTE CONTROL connectors of
this unit and the pre-amplifier, do not connect the cable to
either connector. Otherwise, this unit will not function normally.
Caution
When inserting the stripped ends of the speaker wires
as shown above, make sure at least 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)
of insulation is inside the wire holders (i.e. no exposed
wire is visible) and no loose conductor wire strands
are protruding after connection. If wires touch each
other or they touch the metal parts of this unit, this
unit and/or speakers could be damaged. To prevent
speaker wires from coming loose, make sure wire
holders are firmly screwed in.
