CONNECTING SPEAKERS  
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with cable  
of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the speakers  
are improperly connected, no sound will be heard. Connect  
each speaker making sure that the polarity (+ and –) is correct.  
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.  
If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either  
SPEAKERS A or B terminals.  
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the  
rear panel.  
Red: positive (+)  
Black: negative (–)  
If the cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will  
lack bass. Do not allow exposed wires to touch each other  
or metal parts; this could damage the unit and speakers.  
For AX-492’s SPEAKERS A and B terminals and  
for AX-592’s SPEAKERS B terminals only:  
For AX-592’s SPEAKERS A terminals only and  
for AX-892’s SPEAKERS A and B terminals:  
Unscrew the knob.  
Insert the exposed wire.

[Remove approx. 5 mm  
1
(1/4 in) insulation from  
2
the speaker wires.]  
Tighten the knob and  
secure the wire.

Banana plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the  
banana plug connector into the corresponding terminal.  
(except for UK and Europe models)  
Unscrew the knob.  
Insert the exposed wire.  
[Remove approx. 5 mm (1/4  
in) insulation from the  
speaker wires.]  
Tighten the knob and secure  
the wire.  
REAR PANEL PARTS  
AC OUTLETS (SWITCHED)  
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 remote control’s POWER key. These  
outlets will supply power to the connected components  
whenever this unit is turned on.  
The maximum power (total power consumption of  
components) that can be connected to the AC OUTLETS  
(SWITCHED) is 100 watts.

GND terminal (for turntable use)  
PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals  
AX-592 and AX-892 only  
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.  
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 signal-  
processing 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 sound level.  
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.  
REMOTE CONTROL (PHONO) connector  
AX-592 and AX-892 only  
If you have a YAMAHA turntable with a terminal for remote  
control, connect it to this connector using the cable provided  
with the turntable. This connection allows you to control the  
turntable with the remote control.

If you will not use the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, never  
remove the jumper pins. If removed, no sound will be  
output from this unit.  
Select either MM or MC depending on your phono cartridge. If  
you use a high-output MC cartridge, select MM. To select MC,  
press the switch so that it stays in. To select MM, press the  
switch again, so that it releases.  
If you will use this unit with an external unit connected  
between the PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals, make sure  
that the CD DIRECT AMP and PURE DIRECT switches on  
the front panel are turned off.

If you will use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the  
outputs of an external control amplifier, etc. to this unit’s  
MAIN IN terminals. In this 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.

Battery replacement  
If you find that the remote control must be used closer to the  
unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new  
ones.  
Note  
Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.  
Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside  
the battery compartment.)  
Note  
There should be no large obstacles between the remote  
control and the unit.  
If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong  
lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.),  
it might prevent the remote control from working. In this  
case, reposition the unit to avoid direct lighting.  
Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used  
for an extended period of time.  
If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid  
touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with  
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly  
before installing new batteries.  
Opening and closing the control door  
When using the remote control or when it is not necessary to operate controls inside the control door, close it.
