Installing batteries in the remote controls

■ Notes on batteries
• Change all of the batteries if the operation range of the remote controls decreases.
• Use AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for the remote control and AAA, R03, UM-4 batteries for the Zone 2 remote control.
• Make sure that the polarities are correct. See the illustration inside the battery compartment of each remote control.
• Remove the batteries if the remote controls are not used for an extended period of time.
• Do not use old batteries together with new ones.
• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these
different types of batteries may have the same shape and color.
• We strongly recommend using alkaline batteries.
• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
• Do not throw away batteries with general house waste; dispose of them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.

Connecting speakers
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. 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.
CAUTION
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the power of this unit is turned off.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could

Connecting audio and video components

CAUTION
• Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are complete.
• All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each of

Notes
• 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.
• The antenna should be placed at least 2 meters from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.

CAUTION
Extreme caution should be exercised when you play back CDs encoded in DTS.
If you play back a CD encoded in DTS on a DTS-incompatible CD player, you will only hear some unwanted noise that may damage
your speakers. Check whether your CD player supports CDs encoded in DTS. Also, check the sound output level of your CD player
before you play back a CD encoded in DTS.

ZONE 2
ZONE 2
Connecting the Zone 2 components

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio and video system. The Zone 2 feature enables you to set this unit to
reproduce separate input sources in the main room and in Zone 2 (the second room) simultaneously. You can also control
this unit from the second room using the supplied Zone 2 remote control.
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room system of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver for the second room.
• An infrared emitter for the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals sent by the Zone 2 remote control in
Zone 2 to the components in the main room.
• An amplifier and speakers for the second room.
• A video monitor for the second room.
y
Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE OUT jack on the rear panel of this unit. If you own these
products, you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six YAMAHA components can be connected as shown below.

Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-room configuration, we recommend that you consult with
your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for the Zone 2 connections that best meet your requirements.
Note
If you want to adjust the Zone 2 volume level by using the amplifier in the second room, we recommend setting the Zone 2 volume
level to or near –16 dB.
