CONNECTING SPEAKERS 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. 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. Notes • Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit. • 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. • Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal. How to connect: Red: positive (+) Black: negative (-) 2 1 3 Œ Unscrew the knob.  Insert the bare wire. [Remove approx. 5mm (1/4") insulation from the speaker wires.] Ž Tighten the knob and secure the wire. ABOUT THE ACCESSORY TERMINALS AC OUTLET(S) (SWITCHED) (U.S.A., Canada and General models 2 SWITCHED OUTLETS (Australia model 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. GND terminal (For turntable use) Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to this terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected. For Custom Installer REMOTE CONTROL (IN, OUT) terminals (U.S.A. and Canada models only) These terminals are used for custom installation system. When this unit is connected to the components for custom installation system, you can operate this unit with the system remote control. Connect the REMOTE CONTROL IN terminal to the EMITTER terminal (FROM INDEPENDENT ZONE, FROM ALL ZONE or FROM SELECTED ZONE) of the YAMAHA Master Zone Controller MCX-10. By connecting the REMOTE CONTROL OUT terminal to the REMOTE CONTROL IN terminal of the other component, you can also operate it with the system remote control. In this way, up to 6 components can be connected in series. 5
