GUIDE TO SYSTEM CONNECTION
Set UpThe Speakers Before Making Connections
Place the Main
Speakers in the
normal position.
Place the Front Effect Speakers further
apart from the Main Speakers, on either
side of and a few feet behind and above
the Main Speakers.
If you will use a Subwoofer such
as aYamaha Active Servo
Subwoofer System, the position
of the subwoofer is not so critical
because low bass tones are not
highly directional.
Place the Center Speaker precisely
between the two Main Speakers.
Place the Rear Effect
Speakers behind your
listening position.They
should be nearly six feet up
from the floor.

Notes
•If your components are equipped with digital audio
signal output (and input) jacks, they can be connected to
this unit’s DIGITAL SIGNAL input (and output) jacks.
•Even if you connect a component to the DIGITAL
SIGNAL jack of this unit, you must keep the component
connected with the same named analog audio signal
jacks of this unit, because digital signal cannot be
recorded by a tape deck or VCR other than the tape
deck connected to the OPTICAL TAPE 1 REC OUT jack
of this unit.
•If your LD player has an AC-3 RF signal output jack,
connect it to this unit’s AC-3 RF SIGNAL input jack.
Audio signals encoded with the Dolby Surround AC-3
are input to this unit by this connection.
