CONNECTIONS
Before connecting components
CAUTION
Do not connect this unit or other components to the
mains power until all connections between the
components have been completed.
• Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel
(R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. Some
components require different connection methods and
have different jack names. Refer to the operation
instructions for each component you wish to connect to
this unit.
• After you have completed all connections, check them
again to make sure they are correct.
• The jack names correspond to the names on the input
selector.

■ Connecting to digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of
digital signals through either a coaxial or fiber optic
cable. You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby
Digital and DTS bitstreams. Use digital connections if
you wish to enjoy the multi-channel sound track of DVD
material, etc. with DSP effects. Both digital input jacks
are acceptable for 96 kHz sampling digital signals.
Note
• The OPTICAL jack on this unit conform to the EIA standard.
If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to EIA
standard, this unit may not function properly.

■ Connecting the AM loop antenna
1Set up the AM loop antenna, then connect it
to the terminals on this unit.
2Press and hold the tab to insert the AM loop
antenna lead wires into the AM ANT and
GND terminals.
3Orient the AM loop antenna for the best
reception.
Notes
• The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit.
• The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an
outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
• A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer
reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception
quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult
the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center
about the outdoor antennas.

Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and
DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical, because low bass sounds are not highly
directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce wall reflections.
1.8 m (6 ft)
Front speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound
plus effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance
from the ideal listening position. The distance of each
speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the
same.
Center speaker (C)
The center speaker is for the center channel sounds
(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical
to use a center speaker, you can do without it.
Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front
face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally
between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as
possible, such as directly over or under it.
Surround speakers (SR and SL)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above
the floor.

CONNECTIONS
■ Speaker connections
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. 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.
CAUTION
• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the power of this unit is off.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, place
the speakers away from the monitor.
Connecting to the FRONT A SPEAKERS terminals
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently,
perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals on this unit
and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
1Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of
10 mm (3/8”)
insulation from the end of each of the
speaker cables.

FRONT SPEAKERS terminals
You can connect up to two speaker systems to these
terminals. When using only one speaker system, connect
it to either of the FRONT A or the FRONT B terminals.
SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals
A surround speaker system can be connected to these
terminals.
CENTER SPEAKER terminals
A center speaker can be connected to these terminals.

room.
SUBWOOFER jack
When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System,
connect the input jack of the subwoofer system to this jack. This unit will direct low bass signals distributed from the
front, center and/or surround channels to this jack in accordance with your SPEAKER SET selections. The LFE (lowfrequency effect) signals generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded are also directed to this jack in accordance
with your SPEAKER SET selections.
Notes
• The cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOFER jack is 90 Hz.
• If you do not use a subwoofer, allocate the signals to the front left and right speakers by changing the setting of “SOUND 1
SPEAKER SET” item “1D BASS” on the set menu to FRONT.
• Use the control on the subwoofer to adjust its volume level. You can also adjust the volume level by using this unit’s remote control
(see “SETTING THE SPEAKER LEVELS” on page 46).
