Precaution for use
Read the supplied booklet “Safety Brochure” before using the unit.
Install the unit in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean place – away from direct sunlight,
heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, and/or cold. Allow ventilation space of at
least 30 cm (11-3/4”) on the top, 20 cm (7-7/8”) on the left and right, and 20 cm
(7-7/8”) on the back of the unit.
30 cm (11-3/4”) or more
20 cm (7-7/8”) or more
20 cm (7-7/8”) or more
Since the unit adopts bare metallic speaker terminals, make sure keeping enough
space on the back of the unit. If the speaker terminals come into contact with metal
parts of the AV rack, etc., the unit will be shortened and damaged.
Also, never touch the speaker terminals when the unit is powered on since it may
cause an electrical shock.
The unit does not have volume controls. Make sure you connect a device with
volume control (such as a pre-amplifier) to the unit. If you connect a device without
volume control (such as a CD player) directly to the unit, the volume may become
excessively loud and result in damage to the unit or speakers.
Be careful with short circuits.
DO NOT TOUCH!

2En Features
Features
High-quality power amplifier
■High output/high audio-quality
amplifier (150 W x 11 channels)
The unit provides an 11-channel power amplifier
featuring a three-stage Darlington current feedback
circuit, with a power supply that uses the same type of
toroidal transformer used in top-level hi-fi audio devices.
The gold-plated speaker connectors are also of the
highest quality, delivering high-grade sound.
■Balance and unbalanced
connections are supported
Balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) input jacks are
provided on all channels, and can be selected
independently for each channel.
Balanced connections minimize the extraneous noise
that can arise in the cable connection between the unit
and the pre-amplifier, ensuring high-fidelity transmission
of the audio signal.
Unbalanced connections utilize ground-sensing to
achieve fidelity that is close to balanced transmission.
■Chassis structure that maximizes
the potential of the unit's
performance
The chassis features a special structure that allows the
full potential of the high-quality power amplifier’s
potential to be revealed.
• Symmetrical power amplifier design
• Aluminum front panel and side panels
• Extremely stable feet utilizing the A.R.T.
(Anti-Resonance Technology)
Expandable to meet diverse needs
■Freedom for speaker placement
Since power amplifiers of the identical specification are
provided for all 11 channels, you use the unit not only
for constructing a home theater setup of up to
11 channels but also for multi-room systems or any
other speaker configuration to meet your needs.
■Support for bi-amp connections
and multi-speaker playback
The unit provides a channel selector function that lets
you utilize bi-amp connections or multi-speaker
connections without having to connect additional
cables from your pre-amplifier. For example, the CH.2
audio input could be output from both the CH.2 and
CH.3 speaker outputs to drive a bi-amp configuration
for high-quality sound, or the CH.1 (monaural) input
could be output from three speakers connected to CH.1
and CH.4 (L/R).
■Switch the unit's power from your
pre-amplifier (trigger function)
The unit can switch its own power status in
synchronization with power switching operations on
another device that supports the trigger function, such
as an AV pre-amplifier (TRIGGER IN). The input signal
from the TRIGGER IN jack can also be output without
change in a cascade connection to switch the power of
another device such as a Yamaha subwoofer
(THROUGH OUT). In addition, another device can be
switched in synchronization when the power of the unit
is switched (TRIGGER OUT), allowing you to set up a
variety of systems with synchronized power switching.

10 En Advanced speaker configuration
Using a speaker that supports bi-amp connection
If you want to use a speaker that supports bi-amp connection to have more high-quality
sounds, change the CH. SELECTOR setting and connect the speaker to the
corresponding pair of the SPEAKERS terminals.
(Example)
Using a speaker that supports bi-amp connection for CH.2 (R)
By setting the CH. SELECTOR for CH.3 (R) to “CH.2”, CH.2 (R) input signals are output
from both the CH.2 (R) and CH.3 (R) speaker terminals. In this case, CH.3 (R) input is
not used.
Using two pairs of front speakers (SPEAKERS A/B)
If you connect two pairs of front speakers to the CH.2 A/B terminals, you can switch the
front speakers to be used by pressing SPEAKERS A/B on the front panel of the unit.
• When using two pairs of the speakers connected to the CH.2 A/B terminals at the same time, be sure to
use 8-ohm speakers and set IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to the upper position (p.7).
Using three speakers for one channel (multi-speaker)
If you want to use three speakers for reproducing CH.1 audio signals (such as center
channel signals), change the CH. SELECTOR setting and connect the speakers to the
CH.1 and CH.4 (L/R) terminals.

Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below when the unit does not function properly.
If the problem you are experiencing is not listed below or if the instructions below do not help, turn off the unit, disconnect the power cable, and contact the nearest authorized
Yamaha dealer or service center.
First, check the followings:
aThe power cables of the unit and other devices (such as a pre-amplifier) are connected to AC wall outlets securely.
bThe unit and other devices (such as a pre-amplifier) are turned on.
cThe connectors of each cable are securely inserted in to jacks on each device.
Problem Cause Remedy
The power does not turn on.
The protection circuitry has been activated three times
consecutively. When the unit is in this condition, the power
indicator on the unit blinks.
As a safety precaution, capability to turn on the power is disabled. Contact your
nearest Yamaha dealer or service center to request repair.
The internal microcomputer has frozen, due to an external electric
shock (such as lightning or excessive static electricity) or to a drop
in the power supply voltage.
Disconnect the power cable from the AC wall outlet and plug it again.
An external device is connected to the TRIGGER (IN) jack. Press down z(power) on the unit and then turn on the external device.
The power turns off (standby mode) immediately.
The unit was turned on while a speaker cable was shorted. Twist the bare wires of each speaker cable firmly and reconnect to the unit and
speakers (p.7).
The unit was shorted because the speaker terminals come into
contact with metal parts of the AV rack, etc. Keep enough space on the back of the unit (p.i).
The unit enters standby mode automatically.
The auto-standby function worked. To disable the auto-standby function, set the AUTO POWER STANDBY switch to
“OFF” (p.8).
The protection circuitry has been activated because the volume of
the external device connected to the unit is too high. Turn down the volume of the external device.
The protection circuitry has been activated because the
temperature inside of the unit is too high.
Install the unit in a well ventilated, place and allow enough ventilation space
around the unit (p.i).
No sound. The BAL/UNBAL switch setting is not correct. Change the BAL/UNBAL switch setting so that it matches the connections (p.6).
No sound is coming from a specific speaker.
The speakers connected to the CH.2 A/B terminals are turned off. Press SPEAKERS A/B to turn on the speakers (p.10).
The XLR balanced cable (or RCA unbalanced cable) connecting
the unit and pre-amplifier is defective, or the speaker cable
connecting the unit and speaker is defective.
If there is no problem with the connection, replace with another cable.
Another channel sound is coming from a specific
speaker. The CH SELECTOR setting is not correct. Change the CH SELECTOR setting so that it matches your speaker system (p.10).

of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring
or distortion -and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Since hearing damage from loud
sounds is often undetectable until it is too late, Yamaha and the Electronic Industries
Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure from
excessive volume levels.
