• Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/
or the speakers.
• 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. Also,
refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components.
• Use the RCA type pin plug cables for audio components except speakers.
y
• The PHONO jacks are designed to connect a turntable with an MM or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low-
output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting transformer or an MC-head amplifier when connecting your turntable to the PHONO
jacks.
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in the signal. However, you may hear less noise without the connection to
the GND terminal for some record players.

• A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an
outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor antennas.
• If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit.
• To minimize interference from automobile ignition, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible.
• Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.

■
Adjusting the BALANCE control
Adjusts the sound output balance of the left and right
speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by
speaker locations or listening room conditions.
■
Using the PURE DIRECT button
Routes input signals from your audio sources so that the
input signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and
LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any alterations to
the audio signals and creating the purest possible sound.
■
Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE
controls
Adjust the high and low frequency response.
BASS
Increases or decreases the low frequency response.
TREBLE
Increases or decreases the high frequency response.
■
Adjusting the LOUDNESS control
Retains a full tonal range at any volume level, thus
compensating for the human ears’ loss of sensitivity to
high and low-frequency ranges at a low volume level.
If the PURE DIRECT button is turned on with the LOUDNESS
control set at a certain level, the input signals bypass the
LOUDNESS control, resulting in a sudden increase in the sound
output level. To prevent your ears or the speakers from being
undesirably damaged, be sure to press the PURE DIRECT button
AFTER lowering the sound output level or AFTER checking that
the LOUDNESS control is properly set.
1
Rotate the LOUDNESS control on the front
panel to the FLAT position.
2
Rotate VOLUME on the front panel (or press
VOLUME +/– on the remote control) to set the
sound output level to the loudest listening
level that you would listen to.
3
Rotate the LOUDNESS control until the
desired volume is obtained.
