Connecting A Powered Subwoofer - Yamaha PianoCraft DRX-730 Owner's Manual

Chapter 2: Getting Started
Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables consist of two insulated wires running
together. Speaker connections are polarized and use
positive (+) and negative (–) terminals that are color-
coded red and black, respectively. To help you
connect the wires correctly, the positive wire is
usually marked with a stripe or some other identifier.
All you need to do is to connect the marked wire to
the positive (+) terminals on the DRX-730 and
speakers, and connect the unmarked wire to the
negative (–) terminals. If you get them crossed over,
your speakers will be out of phase and the sound will
be unnatural and lack bass, so take care.
1
Strip about 10 mm (3/8 in.) of insulation from
the end of each wire, and twist the exposed
strands together to prevent possible short
circuits.
10 mm (3/8 in.)

the wire into the hole, and then close the lever.

You can connect a powered subwoofer (sold
separately) to the DRX-730's SUBWOOFER OUT
jack for a really deep bass sound.
Using an audio pin cable (sold separately),
connect the DRX-730's SUBWOOFER OUT jack to
the powered subwoofer's input jack.
