We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Yamaha and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your
equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion – and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Since hearing damage from loud sounds is
often undetectable until it is too late, Yamaha and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Explanation of Graphical Symbols

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within
an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert you to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Supplied accessories

Check that the following accessories are supplied with the product.

■ Notes on remote controls and batteries

• Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote control.

• Do not drop the remote control.

• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following conditions:
– places of high humidity, such as near a bath
– places of high temperatures, such as near a heater or stove
– places of extremely low temperatures
– dusty places

• Insert batteries according to the polarity markings (+ and -).

• Change all batteries if you notice the operation range of the remote control narrows.

• If the batteries run out, immediately remove them from the remote control to prevent an explosion or acid leak.

• If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately, taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the leaked material
comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse it away immediately and consult a doctor. Clean the battery
compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

• Do not use old batteries together with new ones. This may shorten the life of the new batteries or cause old batteries to leak.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these
different types of batteries may have the same shape and color.

• Before inserting new batteries, wipe the battery compartment clean.

• Keep the batteries in a location out of reach of children. Batteries can be dangerous if a child were to put in his or her mouth.

• If the batteries grow old, the effective operation range of the remote control decreases considerably. If this happens, replace the
batteries with new one as soon as possible.

• If you plan not to use the unit for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the unit. Otherwise, the batteries will wear out,
possibly resulting in a leakage of battery liquid that may damage the unit.

• Do not throw away batteries with general house waste. Dispose of them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.

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.

• 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.

O C

y

• The PHONO jacks are designed for connecting a turntable with an MM cartridge.

• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However, for some turntables, you may hear less noise

without the GND connection.

Connecting recording devices

You can connect audio recording devices to the LINE 2-3 (REC) jacks. This jack output analog audio signals selected as the input.

• Be sure to use the LINE 2-3 (REC) jacks only for connecting recording devices.

• If you select LINE2 as the input source, the audio output of the LINE 2 (REC) jacks will be muted. If you select LINE3 as the
input source, the audio output of the LINE 3 (REC) jacks will be muted.

■ 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.

Press A (power) to set the unit to turn off and
remove the power cable from the AC wall outlet.

You are now ready to connect the speakers.

■ Connecting speaker cables

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the
negative (-) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and the
other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are
colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to the
negative and the other wire to the positive terminal.

a

Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the ends of
the speaker cable and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.

b Loosen the speaker terminal.
c Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper

right or bottom left) of the terminal.

d Tighten the terminal.

Connect the other speaker to the other set of terminals in
the same way.

Note

When making bi-wire connections, remove the shorting bridges
or cables on the speaker.

y

To use the bi-wire connections, press SPEAKERS A and
SPEAKERS B on the front panel or on the remote control so that
both SP A and B light up on the front display.

PREPARATION

y

• If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to
configure any network settings for the unit, as the network
parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned
automatically to it. You only need to configure the network
settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to
configure the network parameters manually (p.35).

• You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP
address) are properly assigned to the unit in “Information”
(p.35) in the “SETUP” menu.

Notes

• Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall
settings of network devices (such as a router) may block the
access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these
cases, configure the security software or firewall settings
appropriately.

• Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.

• To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is
strongly recommended.
