CAUTION
• Do noi couiiect tins unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.
■ 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 the speakers.
■ All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R. to “+” and to If the coiinections 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. Also,
refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components.
■ Use the RCA type pm plug cables for audio and video components except speakers.
• The PHONO jacks are designed to comiect a turntable w'lth an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a lowoutput MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting transfonner or an MC-head amplifier when connecting your turntable to the PHONO
jacks.
> Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However, you may hear less noise wathout the connection to
the GND terminal for some record players.

Notes
• One or two speaker sets can he connected to this unit. If you use
only one speaker set. connect it to either the SPEAKERS A or B
tenninals.
• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear
panel of this unit.
■ IMPEDANCE SELECTOR
CAUTION
Do not slide the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch while the
power of this unit is turned on, as doing so may damage the unit.
Select the switch position (left or right) according to the
impedance of the speakers in your system.
Switch
position
If you use one set (A or B), the impedance of
each speaker must be 8 Q or higher.
Right
If you use two sets (A and B), the impedance
of each speaker must be 16 Q or higher.
If you use one set (A or B), the impedance of
each speaker must be 4 Q or higher.
Left
[f you use two sets (A and B), the impedance
of each speaker must be 8 Q or higher.
Impedance level
Notes
• The Canada model cannot use two speaker sets (A and B)
simultaneously when the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch is
slid to the right position.
• If this umt fails to turn on. the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR
switch may not be fully slid to either position. If this is the case,
slide the switch all the way to either position when the power
supply to this unit is completely cut off

CONNECTIONS
Connecting the kM and FM antennas
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal
strength. Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals.
Indoor FM
Ground (GND terminal)
For maximum safety and
minimum interference, cttnnect
the ant.enna GND terminal to a
good earth ground. A good earth
ground is a metal stake tlriveii int.o
moist earth.
Notes
* A properly inslallcd outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an
outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor antennas,
* If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit.
* To minimize interference from automobile ignition, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible,
* Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.
* The antenna should be placed at least 2 meters from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.
