Preparation; Connections; Connecting Speakers And Source Components - Yamaha A-S500 Owner's Manual

PREPARATION

Connecting speakers and source components

CAUTION
• Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are
complete.
• All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, "+" to "+" and "–" to "–". 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. Refer to the owner's manual for each of your components.
• Use RCA cables for audio components (except for speaker connections and DOCK jack connections).

• The PHONO jacks are designed for connecting a turntable with an MM cartridge.
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However, for some turntables, you may hear less noise
without the GND connection.
