Connect the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal of this unit to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer amplifier, and connect the speaker terminals of the subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer. With some subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and subwoofer are in the same unit.
Page 15
How to Connect: 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 the + and – markings are observed.
OUTPUT terminals (for driving speakers with external amplifiers) MAIN CENTER WOOFER OUTPUT MAIN OUTPUT terminals These terminals are for main channel line output. There is no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in amplifier. However, if you drive main speakers with an external stereo power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier) to these terminals.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

The remote control transmitter provided with this unit is designed to control all the most commonly used functions of this unit. If the CD player, tape deck, LD player etc. connected to this unit are YAMAHA components designed for remote control compatibility, then this remote control transmitter will also control various functions of each component.

When controlling a Yamaha LD player by using the CD/LD player keys ( this switch to the “C” position. TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator Lights up when the remote control transmitter is transmitting infrared signals (when a command key is pressed).

MACRO OPERATIONS (When the lid is closed) “Macro” is a command which defines a sequence of several operations. The keys shown in the illustrations below (as preset macro keys) are also preset with macros, in addition to individual functions. Each macro key is preset so that simply pressing it alone will carry out several functions of other keys on this remote control transmitter sequentially.
