g NORMAL/BRIDGE switch
Selects NORMAL/BRIDGE connection of speakers. This switch
is normally set to NORMAL. Change the setting to BRIDGE only
when the speaker is used in bridge connection.
Note
Unplug the unit’s power cord from the AC wall outlet before
changing the NORMAL/BRIDGE switch sett ing.

AUDIO SENSE sw i tch
Enables/disables the audio sense function that detects analog
audio signals input in AMP 1– 4 : IN.
OFF: disables the audio sense function.
ON: detects the input in AMP 1– 4 : IN, and thereby turns
AMP1– AMP4 to on.
Note
Unplug the unit’s power cord from the AC wall outlet before
changing the AUDIO SENSE switch setting.
AUDIO SENSE MODE switch
Selects the audio sense mode that determines the amount of
time required between input of analog audio signals bei ng
detected and analog audio signals being output.
STANDBY: outputs analog audio signals about 7 seconds after
detecting the input of them. This setting reduces the unit’s
standby power consumption..
ACTIVE: outputs analog audio signals within 1 second after
detecting the input of them.

PLACEMENT AND CONNECTION

With the supplied front cover
Non-skid pads
Bottom face
Placing the unit
Mounting the unit on a rack
Use the supplied brackets to mount the unit on an EIA standard rack. Screw the brackets to the unit horizontally.
Notice
• Do not use the brackets for devices other than the XDA-
AMP5400.
• When installing brackets, use the included screws.
• Tighten the screws until the brackets are securely fixed.
Note
Screws for rack mounting are not included.
Precautions for rack mounting
If the unit is mounted together with additional units and/or other
devices in an EIA standard equipment rack, the internal
temperature can rise due to heat generated from the devices,
resulting in impaired performance . If the unit is moun ted in a rac k,
always observe the following requirements to avoid heat buildup:
• If the unit is mounted in a rack with other devices that
generate a significant amount of heat, such as a power
amplifier, leave more than 1U of space between the unit and
other devices (both above and below). Also, make sure to
either leave an y open spaces unco vered or install appropriate
ventilating panels to minimize the possibility of heat buildup.
• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open
and position it at least 10 cm from walls or other surfaces.
Placing the unit without a rack
Affix the supplied non-skid pads at the f our corners on the bottom
of the unit, and then place the unit on a shelf or rack.
Note
Allow ventilation space of at least 10 cm (4 in.) on the top, either
side and back of the unit.

(Infrared signal transmitter)
XDA-QS5400
Power amplifier
(i.e. XDA-AMP5400)
The following is an example of connecting the devices. Unplug the unit’s power cord from the AC wall outlet before connecting the
devices.
The unit does not have volume controls. Make sure you connect a device with
volume control (such as a pre-amplifier) to the unit. If you connect a device
without volume control (such as a CD player) directly to the unit, the volume ma y
become excessively loud and result in damage to the unit or speakers.

Approx. 5 mm
(approx. 1/4")
Connect the speakers to the unit with the supplied Eurob lock plug
and commercially-available speaker cables.
1 Loosen terminal screws.
2 Insert cables.
3 Securely tighten terminal screws.
4 Insert the Euroblock plug into the SPEAKERS
terminals of the unit.
Note
• You must use the supplied Euroblock plugs . If the plugs have
been lost, please contact your Yamaha dealer.
• Recommended cable gauges for the Euroblock plug: AWG26
(0.13 mm
• To prepare the cable for attachment to a Euroblo c k con nector,
strip the wire as shown in the illustration using stranded wire
to make connections. With a Euroblock connection, stranded
wires may be prone to breakage because of metal fatigue due
to the weight of the cable or due to vibration. When rack
mounting your device, use a lacing bar when possible to
bundle and fasten the cables.
• Do not tin (solder) the exposed end.

) to AWG16 (1.3 mm2)
Connecting speakers in bridge mode
Connect the speakers to the unit with the su pplied Eurobloc k plug
and commercially-available speaker cables, and set the
NORMAL/BRIDGE switch to “BRIDGE”.
Note
Unplug the unit’s power cord from the AC wall outlet before
changing the NORMAL/BRIDGE switch sett ing.
Connecting external devices
For an external device with analog stereo audio output
Use a commercially-available analog stereo pin cable (stereo
audio RCA cable). You can also use supplied jumper plugs and
monaural RCA cables for various sound system configurations.
Note
For details on the configurations with supplied jumper plugs and
monaural RCA cables, see the following:
• “Connection examples” (p.9)
For a remote control device
Use a commercially-available 3.5 mm monaural mini-plug cable.
For connecting to an infrared signal receiver/emitter that allows
you to operate the unit and other devices from another room.
For a device compatible with the trigger function
Use a commercially-available 3.5 mm monaural mini-plug cable.
The trigger function can be controlled by external devices (such
as XDA-QS5400) in conjunction with powering on/off the device .
Connecting the power cord
After all the connections are complete, plug the supplied power
cord into the AC IN jack on the rear panel, and then plug the
power cord to an AC wall outlet.
