Caution: Read this before operating your unit
1 To ensure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
2 Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from
windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust,
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers,
motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not
expose to rain and water.
3 Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may overheat,
possibly causing damage.
4 Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into
the set, contact your dealer.
5 Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When
moving the set, first turn the unit off. Then gently
disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to
other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.
6 Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents;
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

and remove the antenna cable during an electrical
storm.
9 When not planning to use this unit for long periods
of time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power
plug from the wall outlet.
10 Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on
common operating errors before concluding that your
unit is faulty.
11 Do not connect audio equipment to the AC outlets on
the rear panel if that equipment requires more power
than the outlets are rated to provide.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

3
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the
speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is
correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires
are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do
not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
How to Connect:
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
Unscrew the knob.
➀
Insert the bare wire.
➁
[Remove approx. 5mm
(1/4”) insulation from
the speaker wires.]
Tighten the knob and
➂
secure the wire.
●
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.
If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either
the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.
●
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
●
Banana Plug connections are also possible (except for
Scandinavian models). Simply insert the Banana Plug
connector into the corresponding terminal.

ABOUT THE ACCESSORY TERMINALS
AC OUTLETS (SWITCHED)
<Except Australia, U.K. and Europe models of
AX-470>
Use these to connect the power cords from your components
to this unit.
The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s
POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s
POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any
component whenever this unit is turned on.
The maximum power (total power consumption of
components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC
OUTLETS is 100 watts.
REMOTE CONTROL (PHONO) connector
If you have a YAMAHA turntable with a terminal for remote
control, connect it to this connector by using the cable
provided with the turntable. This connection allows you to
control the turntable from the provided remote control
transmitter.
GND terminal (For turntable use)
Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to this terminal will
normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may
be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.
PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals
<For AX-570 only>
Removing the jumper pins enables this unit to independently
perform the functions of a control amplifier and a power
amplifier. These terminals are for connection of a signalprocessing system such as a graphic equalizer or sound
processor.
If a sound processor or other component is connected, the
VOLUME control of this unit can be used for overall
adjustment of the level of sound. To connect such a unit,
remove the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN
terminals, connect the inputs of that unit to the PRE OUT
terminals and its outputs to the MAIN IN terminals. For details,
refer to the owner’s manual included with the unit to be
connected.
