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, + and ­ markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could damage this unit and/or speakers. q q q One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you connect 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.

ABOUT THE ACCESSORY TERMINALS AC OUTLETS (SWITCHED) AX-470> Use these to connect the power cords from your components to this unit. The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit's POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter's POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any component whenever this unit is turned on. The maximum power (total power consumption of components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLETS is 100 watts. <Except Australia, U. K. and Europe models of PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals <For AX-570 only> 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. q VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS controls and PURE DIRECT switch settings have no effect on the material being recorded. 7 Adjusting the BALANCE control Adjust the balance of the output volume to the left and right speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused from speaker location or listening room conditions. 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. <AX-570> BALANCE l 2 3 4 L5 5R 0 l 2 3 4 <AX-470> SPEAKERS SPEAKERS Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE controls BASS l 2 3 4 5 5 0 l 2 3 4 2 3 4 5 5 4 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.

By doing so, the audio signal bypasses the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, eliminating any alterations to the audio signal. * Concerning AX-570 only, the SUBSONIC FILTER switch and the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals are also bypassed. Setting the PHONO switch <For AX-570 only> 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. PHONO MC PURE DIRECT MM Setting the SUBSONIC FILTER switch <For AX-570 only> 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. SUBSONIC FILTER ON OFF When you listen with headphones Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack. When listening with headphones privately, set both the SPEAKERS A and B switches to the OFF position.
