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.

■ Connecting speaker cables

Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) of insulation from the end of each speaker cable.

Note

When inserting speaker cables into the speaker terminals, insert only the bare speaker wire. If insulated cable is inserted, the connection may be poor and sound may not be heard.

■ 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.

CONNECTIONS

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.

Jumper pins

Connecting power cable

Plug the power cable into the AC IN on the rear panel of this unit (R-S700 only). Plug the power cable into the AC wall outlet after all other connections are complete.

PREPARATION

Power cable (R-S700 only)

Notes

• If you do not use the COUPLER jacks, never remove the jumper pins from these jacks. If removed, no sound will be output from this unit.

• Before installing or removing the jumper pins, be sure to disconnect the power cable of the unit. Leaving the power cable connected could cause noise to be emitted from the speakers or damage the unit.

• When you use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the output jacks of the external control amplifier, etc. to the MAIN IN jacks of this unit. In this case, the controls of this unit will not function except the PHONES jack and the SPEAKERS A/B buttons. Use the controls on the external control amplifier to make volume adjustments, etc.

■ 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.

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 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.

■ 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.

1 Set the LOUDNESS control to the FLAT

position.

2 Rotate 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.

3 Rotate 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.
