CONNECTIONS

Connecting Speakers

Subwoofer connection
If you have a subwoofer with built-
in amplifier, including the
YAMAHA Active Servo Processing
Subwoofer System, connect the
input terminal of the subwoofer
system to the SUBWOOFER
OUTPUT terminal of this unit.
Be sure to connect the right channel (R), left channel (L),
"+" (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.
CAUTIONS
• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on
the rear panel of this unit.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and
do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This
could damage the unit and/or speakers.
