CONNECTIONS
Connecting speakers
(See figure

on page 6 6 .)
Connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS
terminals, the center speaker to the CENTER SPEAKERS
terminals and the rear speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS
terminals.
Note
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
Ⅲ
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. If these
wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as
this could damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
Note on connecting one rear speaker only
You can use one rear speaker only in place of two rear
speakers. For connecting one rear speaker, follow the
method shown below.
Note on connecting a subwoofer (separate
purchase)
You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass
frequencies.
Connect the SUBWOOFER OUT 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 subwoofer systems, including the Yamaha Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, an amplifier is
incorporated into the system.
* The SUBWOOFER OUT terminal outputs low frequencies
from the front and center channels.
(The cut-off frequency of signals output from this terminal is
200 Hz.)
