NOTICE
If a component is connected to the MAIN IN jacks, the unit’s volume level will be fixed. Therefore, do not connect a CD player or
other components that do not feature volume adjustment to the MAIN IN jacks. Otherwise, a loud sound may be emitted,
resulting in malfunction of the unit or damage to the speakers.

18
Connections
• Because this power amplifier is of the floating balanced type,
the following connections are not possible.
- Connecting between two “+” (or two “−”) terminals of
the left and right channels (Fig. 1).
- Connecting each “−” terminal of the unit’s left and right
channels to the opposite channel speakers (cross
connection, Fig. 2).
- Connecting the left/right channel “−” terminals (or
accidentally allowing them to come in contact) with the
metal part of the rear panel of this unit.
• Do not connect an active subwoofer to the SPEAKERS L/R CH
terminals. Connect the subwoofer to the unit’s PRE OUT
jacks.
Connecting speakers
■Using speaker cables
1Remove approximately 10 mm of insulation
from the end of each speaker cable, and
twist the exposed wires together tightly to
prevent short circuits.
2Unscrew the knob on each speaker
terminal, and then insert the bare wire into
the side hole on the terminal.
3Tighten the knob.

CAUTION
• Do not loosen the knob excessively. Otherwise, the knob
may come off and a child may swallow it accidentally.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the
speaker terminals while the power to the unit on.
NOTICE
• If the SPEAKERS terminals come into contact with a
metallic rack, a short circuit may occur, resulting in
damage to this unit. When installing the unit in a rack,
maintain a sufficient clearance to prevent the SPEAKERS
terminals from coming into contact with the rack.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other, nor let
them touch any metal part of this unit. Otherwise, the
unit and/or the speakers may be damaged.

All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to
“+”, and “−” to “−”. For information regarding the connection
procedure, refer to the owner’s manual for your speakers.
■Using banana plug cables
(Models for U.S.A., Canada, Australia, China, and Taiwan)
First tighten the knob on the SPEAKERS
terminal, and then insert the banana plug into
the head of the knob.
■Using Y-shaped lug cables
1Unscrew the knob, and then sandwich the
Y-shaped lug between the ring part and
base of the terminal.
2Tighten the knob.
Bi-wired connection
A bi-wired connection separates the woofer from the mid
and high ranges. Speakers that support bi-wired
connection feature two pairs of terminals (total four
terminals). These two pairs of terminals can divide the
speakers into two independent parts. To make this kind of
connection, you need to connect mid and high range
drivers to one pair of terminals, and low range drivers to
the other pair of terminals.
1Remove the shorting bars or bridges on the
speakers.
2Connect this unit to the speakers as shown
in the figure below.

Connections
Balanced connection
You can connect a CD player or network player that
features XLR-type balanced output jacks to the BAL input
jacks of this unit. Use XLR-type balanced cables for this
connection.
ATTENUATOR selector: Enables you to set the
allowable input level at the balanced input jacks.
Select ATT. (−6 dB) if the audio output from the
connected component sounds distorted.
PHASE selector: Enables you to set the position (phase)
of the HOT pin (pin #2: HOT or pin #3: HOT) at the
balanced input jacks.
Refer to the instruction manual for the connected
component to find out the position of the HOT pin at the
balanced output jacks on the component.
• Select NORMAL (pin #2 is HOT) for a Yamaha player.
• Do not use balanced and unbalanced connections for one
component simultaneously. Doing so would create a ground
loop that could generate static and noise.
• When connecting a cable, be sure to align the pins on the
connector with the holes on the jack, and then insert the
male XLR connector into the jack until you hear a click. To
remove the cable, while pressing and holding down the lever
on the BAL input jack, pull out the male XLR connector from
the jack.
• For a balanced connection, select BAL as the input source.
Trigger connection
You can connect a Yamaha AV receiver or other
component that supports the Trigger function. You can
control this unit in sync with a connected component.
When the power to the connected component is turned on,
the power to this unit is also turned on. Simultaneously,
the input source to the unit is set to MAIN DIRECT.
If MAIN DIRECT has been selected as the input source
for this unit, when the power to the connected component
is turned off, this unit will enter standby mode.
When the power switch on this unit is turned Off, the power to
the unit will not be triggered.
