ABOUT THE OTHER REAR PANEL PARTS REMOTE CONTROL (PHONO) connector If you have a YAMAHA turntable with a terminal for remote control, connect it to this connector by using the cable provided with the turntable. This connection allows you to control the turntable from the provided remote control transmitter. COUPLER MAIN IN GND terminal (For turntable use) Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to this terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected. PRE OUT PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals Removing the jumper pins enables this unit to independently perform the functions of a control amplifier and a power amplifier. These terminals are for connection of a signalprocessing system such as a graphic equalizer or sound processor. If a sound processor or other external unit is connected between these terminals, the VOLUME control of this unit can be used for overall adjustment of the level of sound. To connect such a unit, remove the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, connect the inputs of that unit to the PRE OUT terminals and its outputs to the MAIN IN terminals. For details, refer to the owner's manual included with the unit to be connected. Notes q If you will not use the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, never remove the jumper pins from these terminals. If removed, no sound will be output from this unit. q If you will use this unit with an external unit connected between the PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals, make sure that the PURE DIRECT switch on the front panel is turned off. q If you will use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the outputs of an external control amplifier etc. In that case, this unit's controls will not function except the PHONES jack and the SPEAKERS switches, so use the controls on the external control amplifier to make volume adjustment etc. 5 CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS FRONT PANEL 1 2 3 4 5 6 VOLUME NATURAL SOUND STEREO AMPLIFIER AX 1090 INPUT CD TAPE 1 TUNER 28 PHONO 34 TAPE 3 40 50 AUX 60 70 20 24 l8 l6 l l4 l2 l0 8 6 4 3 2 l 0 POWER PURE DIRECT TAPE 2 ­dB PHONES SPEAKERS A ON B ON 2 3 BASS l TURNOVER FREQUENCY TREBLE l 2 3 4 DEFEAT l 400Hz 2. 5kHz 2 3 200Hz 5kHz 4 DEFEAT l 2 3 4 SUBSONIC FILTER ON MODE MONO BALANCE l 2 3 0 l 2 3 4 5R LOUDNESS l 2 3 4 5 6 7 FLAT REC OUT CD TUNER PHONO PHONO MC 1 2/3 ­40dB TAPE COPY 10 3 1/2 9 8 AUX OFF OFF 4 5 5 OFF STEREO 4 L5 MM 5 5 7 8 9 0 A BC D E F G 1 POWER switch Press this switch to switch the power on.

Selecting the SPEAKER system Because one or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit, the SPEAKERS switches allow you to select speaker system A or B, or both at once. BALANCE l 2 3 4 L5 5R 0 l 2 3 4 SPEAKERS Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE controls Adjusting the continuously variable LOUDNESS control This control provides compensation for the human ears' loss of sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume. This control is adjustable to retain full tonal range at any volume level. BASS TREBLE 1 Set to the "FLAT" position. LOUDNESS 0 dB BASS : Turn this clockwise to increase (or counterclockwise to decrease) the low frequency response. 0 9 8 6 7 TREBLE : Turn this clockwise to increase (or counterclockwise to decrease) the high frequency response. 2 Set to the loudest listening level that you would listen to. VOLUME l8 20 24 l6 l4 l2 l0 8 6 4 3 2 70 0 ­dB l TURNOVER FREQUENCY switches These switches can be used to adjust the turnover point of the tone controls: either 200 Hz or 400 Hz for BASS and either 2. 5 kHz or 5 kHz for TREBLE. This gives you flexible control over bass and treble response characteristics. 28 34 40 50 60 3 TURNOVER FREQUENCY Turn until the desired volume is achieved. LOUDNESS 400Hz 2. 5kHz 0 dB 0 9 200Hz 5kHz 8 6 7 11 Using the PURE DIRECT switch You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio sources by setting this switch so that the indicator lights up. By doing so, the audio signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS controls, SUBSONIC FILTER switch, MODE switch and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, thus eliminating any alterations to the audio signals. PHONO (MM/MC) switch Select either MM or MC position depending on your PHONO cartridge, Moving Magnet or Moving Coil type. However, if you use a high output MC cartridge, select MM position. To select the MC position, press this switch so that it is held inward. To select the MM position, press this switch so that it is released outward. PURE DIRECT PHONO MC MM Setting the SUBSONIC FILTER switch If you set this switch to "ON" position, undesirable ultra-lowfrequency signals caused by turntable rumble or warped records can be cut out without losing sound quality. Setting the MODE switch This switch can be used for switching between stereo and monaural operation. Normally this switch should be set to the STEREO position.

Notes q Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment. ) q Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time. [. . . ] If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. Make the GND connection between the turntable and this unit. Set the LOUDNESS control to the FLAT position. Set the PHONO (MM/MC) switch to the proper position. [. . . ]
