CONNECTIONS

Connecting speakers and source components

CAUTION

•Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.

•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. Refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components.

•Use RCA cables for audio components (except for speaker connections and DOCK jack connections).

•The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR must be set to the appropriate position before connecting speakers. See page 13 for details.

•Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.

■ Connecting via banana plug

Tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug into the end of the corresponding terminal.

CONNECTIONS

■ Bi-wire connection

Bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two independent sections. With these connections, the mid and high frequency drivers are connected to one set of terminals and the low frequency driver to another set of terminals.

Using COUPLER jacks (R-S700 only)

Removing the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN jacks enables this unit to operate separately as a control amplifier or a power amplifier. These jacks are used to connect a signal-processing system such as a graphic equalizer or a surround-sound processor to this unit. If an external unit is connected to these jacks, the VOLUME control of this unit can be used to adjust the overall sound output level.

To connect an external unit, first remove the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN jacks and then connect the input jacks of that external unit to the PRE OUT jacks or its output jacks to the MAIN IN jacks. For details, refer to the owner’s manual included with the external unit to be connected.

Adjusting the tonal quality

■Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch (R-S700 only)

CD Direct Amp feature

Generates a normal phase and reverse phase signal for both the left and right channels from the input signal and uses the four electronic volumes to send a balanced signal to the amplifying circuit. This feature provides clearer sound as a result of:

•improved signal-to-noise ratio

•external noise canceling

•reduced distortion

Routes input signals from your CD player directly to the specially built-in amplifier for the CD player. As a result, the input signals bypass the INPUT selector and the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls and then sent to the power amplifier, thus eliminating any alterations to the CD signals and creating the purest possible sound. The CD DIRECT AMP indicator lights up and the front panel display turns off after a few seconds.

CD DIRECT AMP switch

Notes

•If both the CD DIRECT AMP and the PURE DIRECT switches are turned on, only the CD DIRECT AMP switch will function.

•Zone 2 cannot be used while the CD DIRECT AMP feature is turned on.

•The INPUT selector and the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, and LOUDNESS controls do not function while the CD DIRECT AMP feature is turned on.

•A CD player must be connected to the CD jacks in order to use the CD DIRECT AMP feature.

•This setting is retained even if you turn off this unit.

PLAYING AND RECORDING

■ Using the PURE DIRECT switch

Routes input signals from your audio sources so that the input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to the audio signals and creating the purest possible sound. The PURE DIRECT indicator lights up and the front panel display turns off after a few seconds.

PLAYING AND RECORDING

■Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE controls

TREBLE

BASS

The BASS and TREBLE controls adjust high and low frequency response.

The center position produces a flat response.

BASS

When you feel there is not enough bass (low frequency sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is too much bass, rotate counterclockwise to suppress. Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 Hz)

TREBLE

When you feel there is not enough treble (high frequency sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is too much treble, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.

Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 kHz)

■ Adjusting the BALANCE control

BALANCE

The BALANCE control adjusts the sound output balance of the left and right speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by speaker locations or listening room conditions.

■ Adjusting the LOUDNESS control

LOUDNESS VOLUME

VOLUME +/–

Retain a full tonal range at any volume level, thus compensating for the human ears’ loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.

CAUTION

If the CD DIRECT AMP switch (R-S700 only) or the PURE DIRECT switch is turned on with the LOUDNESS control set at a certain level, the input signals bypass the LOUDNESS control, resulting in a sudden increase in the sound output level. To prevent your ears or the speakers from being damaged, be sure to press the CD DIRECT AMP switch (R-S700 only) or the PURE DIRECT switch after lowering the sound output level or after checking that the LOUDNESS control is properly set.

1Set the LOUDNESS control to the FLAT position.

2Rotate the VOLUME control on the front panel (or press VOLUME +/– on the remote control) to set the sound output level to the loudest listening level that you would listen to.

3Rotate the LOUDNESS control until the desired volume is obtained.

After setting the LOUDNESS control, enjoy listening to music at your preferred volume level. If the effect of the LOUDNESS control setting is too strong or weak, readjust the LOUDNESS control.
