Using Coupler Jacks (R-S700 Only); Connecting Power Cable - Yamaha R-S500 Owner's Manual

Using COUPLER jacks
(R-S700 only)
Removing the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN
jacks enables this unit to operate separately as a control
amplifier or a power amplifier. These jacks are used to
connect a signal-processing system such as a graphic
equalizer or a surround-sound processor to this unit. If an
external unit is connected to these jacks, the VOLUME
control of this unit can be used to adjust the overall sound
output level.
To connect an external unit, first remove the jumper pins
from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN jacks and then connect the
input jacks of that external unit to the PRE OUT jacks or
its output jacks to the MAIN IN jacks. For details, refer to
the owner's manual included with the external unit to be
connected.
Jumper pins
Notes
• If you do not use the COUPLER jacks, never remove the
jumper pins from these jacks. If removed, no sound will be
output from this unit.
• Before installing or removing the jumper pins, be sure to
disconnect the power cable of the unit. Leaving the power cable
connected could cause noise to be emitted from the speakers or
damage the unit.
• When you use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the output
jacks of the external control amplifier, etc. to the MAIN IN
jacks of this unit. In this case, the controls of this unit will not
function except the PHONES jack and the SPEAKERS A/B
buttons. Use the controls on the external control amplifier to
make volume adjustments, etc.
