Component video cable plugs

Audio jacks

This unit has three types of audio jacks. Connection depends on the availability of audio jacks on your other components. AUDIO jacks For conventional analog audio signals transmitted via left and right analog audio cables. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks. DIGITAL AUDIO COAXIAL jacks For digital audio signals transmitted via coaxial digital audio cables. DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL jacks For digital audio signals transmitted via optical digital audio cables. Notes
You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams. All digital input jacks are compatible with digital signals with up to 96 kHz of sampling frequency. This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus audio signals input at the digital jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks.

Video jacks

This unit has two types of video jacks. Connection depends on the availability of input jacks on your video monitor. VIDEO jacks For conventional composite video signals transmitted via composite video cables. COMPONENT VIDEO jacks For component signals, separated into the luminance (Y) and chrominance (PB, PR) video signals transmitted on separate wires of component video cables.

Information on HDMI

Audio signals input at the HDMI jack are not output from any speaker terminals but output from the connected video monitor. To enjoy the sound from speakers connected to this unit, make an analog or digital connection besides the HDMI connection (see page 16). mute the volume of the connected video monitor. You can play back pictures by connecting your video monitor and video source component to this unit using HDMI connections. At that time, audio/video signals output from the connected component (such as DVD player etc.) are output to the connected video monitor only when this unit is turned on and set to the input source (DVD or DTV/CBL). Furthermore, available audio/video signals depend on the specification of the connected video monitor. Refer to the instruction manual of each connected component.

HDMI jack and cable plug

HDMI cable plug
We recommend using an HDMI cable shorter than 5 meters (16 feet) with the HDMI logo printed on it. Use a conversion cable (HDMI jack DVI-D jack) to connect this unit to other DVI components.

Connecting audio components
Connecting a CD player and a CD recorder/MD recorder
When you connect your CD player via analog and digital connection, priority is given to the signal input at the DIGITAL INPUT jack.

CD recorder or MD recorder
Connecting to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks
This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (FRONT L/R, SURROUND L/R, CENTER and SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from a multi-format player, external decoder or sound processor. Connect the output jacks on your multi-format player or external decoder to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right output jacks to the left and right input jacks for the front and surround channels.
When you select the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks as the input source (see page 30), this unit automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs. This unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing speakers. We recommend that you connect a 5.1-channel speaker system before using this feature.

Connecting the FM and AM antennas
Both FM and AM indoor antennas are supplied with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength. Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals. Notes
The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit. A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, install an outdoor antenna. Consult the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about outdoor antennas. The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

Outdoor AM antenna

Use a 5 to 10 m (16 to 32 ft) of vinyl-covered wire extended outdoors from a window.
Assembling the supplied AM loop antenna
The types of the supplied AM loop antenna is different depending on the models.
Connecting the power cable
Once all connections are complete, plug the power cable into the AC wall outlet.
