Note • You must use the supplied Euroblock plugs. If the plugs have been lost, please contact your Yamaha dealer. • Recommended cable gauges for the Euroblock plug: AWG26 (0.13 mm2) to AWG16 (1.3 mm2) • To prepare the cable for attachment to a Euroblock connector, strip the wire as shown in the illustration using stranded wire to make connections. With a Euroblock connection, stranded wires may be prone to breakage because of metal fatigue due to the weight of the cable or due to vibration. When rack mounting your device, use a lacing bar when possible to bundle and fasten the cables. • Do not tin (solder) the exposed end. „ Connecting speakers in bridge mode Connect the speakers to the unit with the supplied Euroblock plug and commercially-available speaker cables, and set the NORMAL/BRIDGE switch to "BRIDGE". Note Unplug the unit's power cord from the AC wall outlet before changing the NORMAL/BRIDGE switch setting. „ Connecting to a wired network Connect the unit to your router with a commercially-available STP network cable (CAT-5 or higher straight cable). Using another ETHERNET jack, you can connect the unit to another network device (such as another XDA-QS5400) in cascade. Notice Do not connect both ETHERNET jacks to the same router. In that case, a routing loop might interfere with communication of the whole network. „ Connecting external devices „ For a power amplifier Use a commercially-available analog stereo pin cable (stereo audio RCA cable). You can connect a power amplifier to each ZONE. Note To prevent loud sound or unexpected noise, before connecting a power amplifier, be sure to unplug the unit's power cord from the AC wall outlet and turn off the power amplifier. „ For an external device with analog stereo audio output Use a commercially-available analog stereo pin cable (stereo audio RCA cable). „ For a paging system with the Cut/Fade function Use a commercially-available analog stereo pin cable (stereo audio RCA cable).

For details, see the following: • "Setting menu items" (p.12) „ For a remote control device Use a commercially-available 3.5 mm monaural mini-plug cable. For connecting to an infrared signal receiver/emitter that allows you to operate the unit and other devices from another room. „ For a device compatible with the trigger function Use a commercially-available 3.5 mm monaural mini-plug cable. The trigger function can control external devices (such as XDAAMP5400) in conjunction with powering on/off the unit. Note Control the trigger function using the Web Control screen. For details, see the following: • "Setting menu items" (p.12) „ Connecting the power cord After all the connections are complete, plug the supplied power cord into the AC IN jack on the rear panel, and then plug the power cord to an AC wall outlet. 8 En
