Read the supplied booklet “Safety Brochure” before using the unit.

Install the unit in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean place – away from direct sunlight,

heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, and/or cold. Allow ventilation space of at

least 30 cm (11-3/4”) on the top, 20 cm (7-7/8”) on the left and right, and 20 cm

(7-7/8”) on the back of the unit.

30 cm (11-3/4”) or more

20 cm (7-7/8”) or more

20 cm (7-7/8”) or more

Since the unit adopts bare metallic speaker terminals, make sure keeping enough

space on the back of the unit. If the speaker terminals come into contact with metal

parts of the AV rack, etc., the unit will be shortened and damaged.

Also, never touch the speaker terminals when the unit is powered on since it may

cause an electrical shock.

The unit does not have volume controls. Make sure you connect a device with

volume control (such as a pre-amplifier) to the unit. If you connect a device without

volume control (such as a CD player) directly to the unit, the volume may become

excessively loud and result in damage to the unit or speakers.

Be careful with short circuits.

High-quality power amplifier

■ High output/high audio-quality

amplifier (150 W x 11 channels) The unit provides an 11-channel power amplifier featuring a three-stage Darlington current feedback circuit, with a power supply that uses the same type of toroidal transformer used in top-level hi-fi audio devices. The gold-plated speaker connectors are also of the highest quality, delivering high-grade sound. ■ Balance and unbalanced

connections are supported Balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) input jacks are provided on all channels, and can be selected independently for each channel.Balanced connections minimize the extraneous noise that can arise in the cable connection between the unit and the pre-amplifier, ensuring high-fidelity transmission of the audio signal.Unbalanced connections utilize ground-sensing to achieve fidelity that is close to balanced transmission. ■ Chassis structure that maximizes

the potential of the unit's

performance The chassis features a special structure that allows the full potential of the high-quality power amplifier’s potential to be revealed.• Symmetrical power amplifier design• Aluminum front panel and side panels• Extremely stable feet utilizing the A.R.T. (Anti-Resonance Technology) Expandable to meet diverse needs

■ Freedom for speaker placement Since power amplifiers of the identical specification are provided for all 11 channels, you use the unit not only for constructing a home theater setup of up to 11 channels but also for multi-room systems or any other speaker configuration to meet your needs. ■ Support for bi-amp connections

and multi-speaker playback The unit provides a channel selector function that lets you utilize bi-amp connections or multi-speaker connections without having to connect additional cables from your pre-amplifier. For example, the CH.2 audio input could be output from both the CH.2 and CH.3 speaker outputs to drive a bi-amp configuration for high-quality sound, or the CH.1 (monaural) input could be output from three speakers connected to CH.1 and CH.4 (L/R). ■ Switch the unit's power from your

pre-amplifier (trigger function) The unit can switch its own power status in synchronization with power switching operations on another device that supports the trigger function, such as an AV pre-amplifier (TRIGGER IN). The input signal from the TRIGGER IN jack can also be output without change in a cascade connection to switch the power of another device such as a Yamaha subwoofer (THROUGH OUT). In addition, another device can be switched in synchronization when the power of the unit is switched (TRIGGER OUT), allowing you to set up a variety of systems with synchronized power switching.

If you want to use a speaker that supports bi-amp connection to have more high-quality

sounds, change the CH. SELECTOR setting and connect the speaker to the

corresponding pair of the SPEAKERS terminals.

Using a speaker that supports bi-amp connection for CH.2 (R)

By setting the CH. SELECTOR for CH.3 (R) to “CH.2”, CH.2 (R) input signals are output

from both the CH.2 (R) and CH.3 (R) speaker terminals. In this case, CH.3 (R) input is

Using two pairs of front speakers (SPEAKERS A/B)

If you connect two pairs of front speakers to the CH.2 A/B terminals, you can switch the

front speakers to be used by pressing SPEAKERS A/B on the front panel of the unit. • When using two pairs of the speakers connected to the CH.2 A/B terminals at the same time, be sure to use 8-ohm speakers and set IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to the upper position (p.7). Using three speakers for one channel (multi-speaker)

If you want to use three speakers for reproducing CH.1 audio signals (such as center

channel signals), change the CH. SELECTOR setting and connect the speakers to the

CH.1 and CH.4 (L/R) terminals.
