Connecting speakers/external components/antennas
Make sure you read the following procedure and note carefully before connecting the system. The remote control
and linked operation of the system only work when the receiver and the CD player are connected via
the system control cable. For information on the speakers (NS-BP300), refer to the owner’s manual supplied with it.
Connecting the system
1 Connect the AUDIO IN (PLAYER L/R) jacks of the receiver to the AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks of the CD player
using the supplied audio RCA stereo cable.
2 Connect the SYSTEM CONNECTOR (TO:PLAYER) jack of the receiver to the SYSTEM CONNECTOR
(TO:RECEIVER) jack of the CD player using the supplied system control cable.

CAUTION
• Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of the receiver. This could damage the receiver and/or the
speakers.
• All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be
heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. Also,
refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components.
Notes
• The system control connection is used to transmit the remote control signals from the receiver to the CD player.
• When connecting speakers other than NS-BP300, use speakers having more than 6Ω impedance.
• If there is a problem of weak radio wave reception in your area or you want to improve radio reception, we recommend that you use
commercially available outdoor antennas. For details, consult the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center.
