Connect the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT 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 subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, the amplifier and subwoofer are in the same unit.
Page 13
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.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal OUTPUT WOOFER This terminal is for connecting to the input terminal of an amplifier driving a subwoofer. This terminal outputs low frequencies from the main and center channels. (The cut-off frequency of signals output from this terminal is 150 Hz.) When 6 channel discrete signals are input to this unit and are selected as the input source, this terminal outputs signals from the subwoofer channel.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
