Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with cable
of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the speakers
are improperly connected, no sound will be heard. Connect
each speaker making sure that the polarity (+ and –) is correct.

Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)

If the cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will
lack bass. Do not allow exposed wires to touch each other

or metal parts; this could damage the unit and speakers.

●

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.
If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either
SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

CD DIRECT AMP

Using the PURE DIRECT switch

You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your sources by
setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates. The signals
bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS
controls, the SUBSONIC FILTER switch (

), and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals (

only
892 only

), eliminating any alterations to the signals.

AX-592 and AX-892

AX-592 and AX-

Using the CD DIRECT AMP switch

For the best CD sound, set this switch so the indicator
illuminates. The CD input signal is sent to a separate circuit,
bypassing the INPUT selector, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE
and LOUDNESS controls, SUBSONIC FILTER switch (AX-592
and AX-892 only), and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals (
592 and AX-892 only
This signal routing ensures the purest CD sound, eliminating
any alterations to the original CD signals.

) and then goes directly to the amplifier.

AX-

Setting the SUBSONIC FILTER switch

AX-592 and AX-892 only

When this switch is set ON, undesirable ultra-low-frequency
signals caused by turntable rumble or warped records can be
eliminated without losing sound quality.

Using the MUTING switch

AX-892 only

Selecting ON temporarily reduces the volume.

Note

If both the CD DIRECT AMP and PURE DIRECT switches are
on, only the CD DIRECT AMP switch will function.

WARNING

When the LOUDNESS control has been set, if the PURE DIRECT switch or the CD DIRECT AMP switch is pressed, the sound
will suddenly increase and may damage your ears or the speaker (the LOUDNESS control function may be bypassed).
Therefore, only press the PURE DIRECT switch or the CD DIRECT AMP switch after lowering the volume or after checking
that the LOUDNESS control is properly set.
