CONNECTIONS
Before Connecting Components
CAUTION
Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been
completed.
• Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some
components require different connection methods and have different jack names. Refer to the operation instructions
for each component to be connected to this unit.
• When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or
changer), connect them to the jack with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc.
• After you have completed all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.
Connecting Audio Components
■ Connecting to digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of
digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables.
You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital
and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to
both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given
to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital
input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital
signals.
y
• You can designate the input for each digital jack according to
your component by using “4 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET
MENU.
About the dust protection cap
Pull out the cap from the optical jack
before you connect the fiber optic cable.
Do not discard the cap. When you are not
using the optical jack, be sure to put the
cap back in place. This cap protects the
jack from dust.
Note
• The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard.
If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this
standard, this unit may not function properly.
■ Connecting a turntable
PHONO jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM
or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with
a low-output MC cartridge, use an inline boosting
transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to
these jacks.
y
• The GND terminal does not electrically ground the turntable. It
simply reduces noise in the signal. In some cases, you may
hear less noise if you do not connect to the GND terminal.
■ Connecting a CD player
y
• The COAXIAL jack is available for a CD player which has a
coaxial digital output jack.
• When you connect a CD player to both the analog and digital
jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the digital jack.
■ Connecting an MD recorder, CD
recorder or tape deck
y
• When you connect your recording component to both the
analog and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given
to the digital signal.
Notes
• When you connect a recording component to this unit, keep its
power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit
may distort the sound from other components.
• Since digital output and analog output (REC OUT) are
independent of each other, the analog signal is output only to
the analog jack, while the digital signal is output only to the
digital jack.
