OWNER’S MANUAL
MODE D’EMPLOI
HiFi Began with Yamaha
Yamaha’s involvement with and passion for music goes back
more than a century, to when we built our first reed organ in
1887. Now we are the world’s leading producer of pianos and
other musical instruments, and are involved with music in many
other ways as well. We manufacture professional recording
equipment, we design concert halls and we assist artists at
concerts with set up and sound tuning.
This knowledge and experience benefits our production of
audio components in many ways. We introduced our first HiFi
(High Fidelity) turntable in 1954. Thereafter we were one of the first
to offer mass-produced, high quality audio equipment,
and introduced many legendary stereo components.
We hope you enjoy the genuine HiFi experience of
Yamaha Natural Sound.
Excellence in Audio Achievement

Connections
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let
them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this
unit and/or the speakers.
• All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R,
“+” to “+”, and “–” to “–”. If the connections are faulty, no
sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the
speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural
and lack bass. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each of
your components.
• Use RCA unbalanced cables to connect other components
except speakers. Use “male” XLR balanced cables to connect a
CD player with XLR balanced output jacks to the CD BAL
jacks of this unit.
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in
the signal. However, you may hear less noise without the
connection to the GND terminal for some record players.

• Because the power amplifier of A-S2000 is of the floating
balanced type, the following types of connections are not
possible.
– Connecting with the left channel “–” terminal and the right
channel “–” terminal as well as “+” terminals (Fig. 1).
– Deliberately connecting with the left/right channel “–”
terminals and metal part on the rear panel of this unit, as well
as accidentally touching them.
– Connecting with the left channel “–” terminal and the right
channel “–” terminal inverted (cross connection, Fig. 2).
• Do not connect your active subwoofer to the SPEAKERS

■Connecting the speakers
1Remove approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) of
insulation from the end of each speaker
cable and twist the exposed wires of the
cable together to prevent short circuits.
2Unscrew the knob and then insert the bare
wire into the hole.
3Tighten the knob.
■Connecting the banana plug
(Except for Europe models)
First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana
plug into the end of the corresponding terminal.
■Connecting the Y-shaped lug

■Bi-wire connection
The bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the
combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire
compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These
two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two
independent sections. This split connects the mid and high
frequency drivers to one set of terminals and the low
frequency driver to the other pair.
To use the bi-wire connections, the impedance of each speaker
must be 8 Ω or higher.
• Remove the shorting bars or bridges to separate the LPF (low
pass filter) and HPF (high pass filter) crossovers.
•To use the bi-wire connections, switch the SPEAKERS selector
to the A+B BI-WIRING position.
■Connecting to the CD BAL jacks
Connect your CD player with the XLR balanced output
jacks. The pin assignments for these jacks are shown
below. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your
CD player and verify that its XLR balanced output jacks
are compatible with the pin assignments.
When connecting, be sure to match the pins and insert the
connector of the “male” XLR balanced cable until you
hear a “click”. When disconnecting, pull out the “male”
XLR balanced cable while holding down the lever of the
CD BAL jacks.
To use the XLR balanced connection, you must switch the
INPUT selector on the front panel to the CD BAL position.
