Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do
not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
How to Connect:
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
Unscrew the knob.
Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5mm
(1/4”) insulation from
the speaker wires.]
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

1 SWITCHED OUTLET
Use these to connect the power cords from your components
to this unit.
The power to the
SWITCHED
outlets is controlled by this unit’s
POWER
switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s
POWER
key.
These outlets will supply power to any
component whenever this unit is turned on.
The maximum power (total power consumption of
components) that can be connected to the
SWITCHED AC
OUTLET(S)
is 100 watts.
REMOTE CONTROL (PHONO) connector
If you have a YAMAHA turntable with a terminal for remote
control, connect it to this connector by using the cable provided
with the turntable.
This connection allows you to control the
turntable from the provided remote control transmitter.
GND terminal (For turntable use)
