1. To assure the finest performance, please read this

manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future

reference.

2. Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from

windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration,

dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming

(transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical

shock, do not expose the unit to rain or water.

3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the

set, contact your dealer.

4. Do not use force on switches, controls or connection

wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the

power plug and the wires connected to other

equipments. Never pull the wires themselves.

5. The openings on the unit cover assure proper

ventilation of the unit. If these openings are

obstructed, the temperature inside the unit will rise

rapidly; therefore, avoid placing objects against these

openings. Install the unit in a well-ventilated area to

prevent fire or damage.

Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind, 20

cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel of the

unit to prevent fire or damage.

6. The voltage used must be the same as that specified

on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than

specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other

accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for

any damage resulting from use of this unit with a

voltage other than specified.

7. Always set the VOLUME control to “

∞

” before starting

the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually

to an appropriate level after the play has been started.

8. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents

as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry

cloth.

9. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section

regarding common operating errors before concluding

that the unit is faulty.

10. When not planning to use this unit for a long period

(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from

the wall outlet.

11.

To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power

plug when there is an electric storm.

12. Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be

taken so that the grounding or polarization of an

appliance is not defeated.

13. Do not connect any audio equipment to the AC outlet

on the rear panel if the equipment requires more power

than the outlet is rated to provide.

For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug

supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an

appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the

instructions described below.

Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be

destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if

engaged in a live socket outlet.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR U.K. MODEL

IMPORTANT:

THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Blue: NEUTRAL

Brown: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this

apparatus may not correspond with the coloured

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed

as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be

connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter

N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured

BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is

marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Making sure

that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the

three pin plug.

When this unit is turned off by pressing the STANDBY/ON

switch on the front panel or the remote control, the

STANDBY indicator on the front panel lights up. This

state is called the standby mode. In this mode, this unit is

designed to consume a small amount of power. This

unit’s power supply cannot be completely cut off from the

AC line until the POWER switch on the front panel is set

in the OFF position or the AC power cord is disconnected.

WARNING

Do not change the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch

setting while the power to this unit is on, otherwise

this unit may be damaged.

If this unit fails to turn on when the POWER switch is

pressed:

The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be set to

either end. If so, set the switch to either end when this

unit’s power supply is completely cut off.

CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.

NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL

Battery installation

Since the remote control will be used for many of this unit’s

control operations, you should begin by installing the

supplied batteries.

1. Turn the remote control over and remove the battery

compartment cover by sliding it in the direction of the

arrow.

2. Insert the batteries (AA, R6, UM-3 type) according to the

polarity markings on the inside of the battery

compartment.

3. Close the battery compartment cover.

Battery replacement

If you notice that the remote control must be used closer to

the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both

batteries with new ones.

Notes

● Use AA, R6, UM-3 batteries.

● Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration

inside the battery compartment.)

● Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for

an extended period of time.

● If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid

touching the leaked material and contact with clothing,

etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before

installing new batteries.

Connecting speakers

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with

the wire with the proper gauge (keep it as short as

possible). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be

heard from the speakers. Make sure that the + and –

polarity markings of the speaker wires are observed and set

correctly. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be

unnatural and lack bass.

Caution

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or

any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit

or the speakers, or both.

How to Connect:

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

1 Loosen the knob.

2 Insert the bare wire.

[Remove approx.

10 mm (3/8”)

insulation from the

speaker wires.]

3 Tighten the knob

and secure the wire.

● One or two speaker systems can be connected to this

unit. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to

either the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

● Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the

rear of this unit.

● <Australia, China and General models only>

Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply

insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding

terminal.

Rear panel parts

Select the position whose

requirements your speaker

system meets.

(Right position)

If you use one pair of speakers, the impedance of

each speaker must be 4Ω or higher.

If you use two pairs of speakers, the impedance of

each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

(Left position)

If you use one pair of speakers, the impedance of

each speaker must be 6Ω or higher.

If you use two pairs of speakers, the impedance of

each speaker must be 12Ω or higher.

AC OUTLET(S) (SWITCHED)

(Europe, China and General models)

...................................................... 3 SWITCHED OUTLETS

(U.K. and Australia models)............. 1 SWITCHED OUTLET

Use these to connect the power cords of your components

to this unit.

The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this

unit’s POWER or STANDBY/ON switch. These outlets will

supply power to any connected unit whenever this unit is

turned on.

The maximum power (total power consumption of

components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC

OUTLETS is 100W.

Notes on recording

● The VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS

controls and CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch (and PURE

E-12

Adjusting the BALANCE control

Adjust the balance of the output volume to the left and right

speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by

speaker location or listening room conditions.

Using the CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch

You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your CD or

DVD player by pressing this switch. The indicator above it

lights up. With this function on, input signals from the CD or

DVD player are sent directly to the built-in special amplifier

for CD/DVD bypassing the INPUT selector, the BASS,

TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls (and the

TAPE MONITOR switch for AX-396 only), and then sent to

the power amplifier. This signal routing reproduces the

purest sound eliminating any alterations to the CD or DVD

signals.

Using the PURE DIRECT switch

AX-496 only

You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio

sources by pressing this switch. The indicator above this

switch lights up. With this function on, the audio signals

bypass the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS

controls, thus eliminating any alterations to the audio

signals.

Note

If both the CD/DVD DIRECT AMP and PURE DIRECT

switches are on, only the CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch will

function.

Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE controls

BASS: Turn this knob clockwise to increase (or counter-

clockwise to decrease) the low frequency

response.

TREBLE: Turn this knob clockwise to increase (or counter

clockwise to decrease) the high frequency

response.

Adjusting the continuously variable

LOUDNESS control

This control compensates 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.

1

Set to the “FLAT” position.

2

Set to the loudest listening level

that you would listen to.

3

Turn until the desired volume is

obtained.

WARNING

If the CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch (or PURE DIRECT

switch for AX-496 only) is pressed to turn it on with the

LOUDNESS control set at a certain level, the sound will

suddenly increase and may damage your ears or the

speakers. (The LOUDNESS control function may be

bypassed.) For this reason, be sure to press the CD/

DVD DIRECT AMP switch (or PURE DIRECT switch for

AX-496 only) after lowering the volume or after checking

that the LOUDNESS control is properly set.
