Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
24 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the product, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, provides information w'ith regard to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in

Connecting the speakers
I Speaker placement
The speaker layout above show's the standard ITU-R
speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP,
multi-channel audio sources.
Subwoofer
The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing buss 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 (tf 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 W'all reflections.
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 inw'urds, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above
the floor.
15
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 wares 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.
1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of
10 mm (3/8”)
insulation from the end of each of the
speaker cables.
2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable
together to prevent short circuits.
3 Loosen the head of the screw.
4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
of each terminal.
5 Tighten the head of the screw to secure the
