■ Connecting the AM loop antenna

1 Set up the AM loop antenna, then connect it

to the terminals on this unit.

2 Press and hold the tab to insert the AM loop

antenna lead wires into the AM ANT and GND terminals.

3 Orient the AM loop antenna for the best

reception.

Notes

• The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit.

• The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

• A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about the outdoor antennas.

FREQUENCY STEP switch (Asia and General models only)

Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (locating on the rear panel) according to the frequency spacing in your area.

• North, Central and South America: 100 kHz/10 kHz

• Other areas: 50 kHz/9 kHz Before setting this switch, disconnect this unit’s AC power cord from the wall outlet.

Ground (GND terminal)

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the antenna GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Indoor FM antenna (included)

Connecting the speakers

■ Speaker placement

60˚

30˚

80˚

The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R speaker setting. You can use it to enjoy CINEMA DSP, multi-channel audio sources.

1.8 m (6 ft)

Front speakers (FR and FL)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system. Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under it.

Surround speakers (SR and SL)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.

CONNECTIONS

Subwoofer

The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

PREPARATION

English

CONNECTIONS

■ Speaker connections

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. 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.

CAUTION

• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the power of this unit is off.

• 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 speakers.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

Connecting to the FRONT A SPEAKERS terminals

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

Connecting to the FRONT B, CENTER and SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of

insulation from the end of each of the speaker cables.

2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable

together to prevent short circuits.

3 Unscrew the knob.

4 Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side

of each terminal.

5 Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

Banana plug connections

(With the exception of U.K., Europe and Asia models) First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.

1 Press and open the tab.

2 Insert one bare wire into the hole of each

terminal.

3 Release the tab to secure the wire.
