Using the remote control

■ Installing batteries

Change all batteries if you notice the operation range of the remote control narrows. Before inserting new batteries, wipe the battery compartment clean.

■ Operation range

Point the remote control at the remote control sensor on this unit and remain within the operating range shown below. The area between the remote control and this unit must be clear of large obstacles.

• Be careful not to drop the remote control.
• If the batteries run out, immediately remove them from the remote control to prevent an explosion or acid leak.
• If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately, taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the leaked material comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse it away immediately and consult a doctor. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
• Do not use old batteries together with new ones. This may shorten the life of the new batteries or cause old batteries to leak.
• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Batteries that look the same may have a different specification.
• Dispose of batteries according to your regional regulations.
• Keep the batteries in a location out of reach of children. Batteries can be dangerous if a child were to put in his or her mouth.
• If you plan not to use this unit for a long period of time, remove the batteries from this unit. Otherwise, the batteries will wear out, possibly resulting in a leakage of battery liquid that may damage this unit.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting speakers and source components

Make sure to connect 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.

Make sure to use RCA cables to connect audio components.

• Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.
• Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.

■ OUT jacks

• The OUT jacks output audio signals of the currently selected input (except when LINE 3 is selected).
• Volume level, tone control and balance settings do not affect the OUT jacks.

■ Connecting speaker cables

Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) of insulation from the end of each speaker cable.

Note
When inserting speaker cables into the speaker terminals, insert only the bare speaker wire. If insulated cable is inserted, the connection may be poor and sound may not be heard.

Connect the speakers with an impedance as shown below. If you connect speakers with an excessively low impedance, this unit may overheat.

■ Bi-wire connection
Bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two independent sections. With these connections, the mid and high frequency drivers are connected to one set of terminals and the low frequency driver to another set of terminals.

Connect the other speaker to the other set of terminals in the same way.

Note
When making bi-wire connections, remove the shorting bridges or cables on the speaker.

To use the bi-wire connections, press SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B so that both SPA and B light up on the front panel display.

Connecting the FM/AM antennas

Connect the supplied FM/AM antenna to this unit. Fix the end of the FM antenna to a wall, and place the AM antenna.

Notes

• If you experience poor reception quality, install an outdoor antenna.
• Unwind only the length of cable needed from the AM antenna unit.
• The wires of the AM antenna have no polarity.

■ Assembling the AM antenna

■ Connecting the wire of the AM antenna

Connecting power cable

Plug the power cable into an AC wall outlet after all other connections are complete.

Only for General model:
Before connecting the power cable, make sure you set VOLTAGE SELECTOR of this unit according to your local voltage. Improper setting of VOLTAGE SELECTOR may cause fire and damage to this unit.

Handling Bluetooth communications

• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio band shared by many types of equipment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use a technology minimizing the influence of other components using the same radio band, such influence may reduce the speed or distance of communications and in some cases interrupt communications.
• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communication is possible differs according to the distance between the communicating devices, the presence of obstacles, radio wave conditions and the type of equipment.
• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices compatible with Bluetooth function.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The above warning is located on the rear of the unit.
