A Living Tradition in Sound

A piano comes into this world through the perfect synergy of advanced technical

skill and artistry. Such a piano can create sound that truly reflects the player’s

feelings.

The final stage in piano production is called “voicing”. It is here that the

instrument is given its soul.

A highly skilled expert concentrates his mind and sensitivity on the sound of each

key, finely adjusting the dynamic feel of the hammers, bringing the tone and

vibrancy of all 88 keys together perfectly; a truly stunning achievement.

It is a quality of sound that can only be determined by an astute, sensitive ear. We

apply this very same concept to the manufacture of our audio products. The

technician performs exhaustive listening tests and every component is considered,

in order to finally achieve the ideal sound.

Yamaha’s tradition of audio quality stretches back over 125 years, and continues to

live on in all Yamaha products today.

◆ Full floating and balanced circuit design achieves the full potential of

analogue amplification

An entirely new floating and balanced power amplifier achieves complete symmetry and permits full balanced

transmission (amplification) from the input jack to just before the speaker jack.

◆ Full-stage balanced signal transmission

The integrated amplifier offers full stage balanced transmission, combining high power output with good sound texture

and outstanding S/N performance.

◆ Parallel volume and tone control

◆ Large power supply with four separate circuits

◆ Left-right symmetrical design with rigid, stable construction

◆ Discrete phono amplifier

◆ High-quality headphone amplifier with low-impedance drive

In this position, you can select STANDBY or ON,

using the p AMP key on the remote control.

OFF (lower position):

The power of this unit is turned off.

• When you turn on this unit, it will take a few seconds

before this unit can reproduce sound.

• If you disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet and

connect it again when this unit is in STANDBY mode, the

power of the unit is turned on. If the unit is not to be

operated for a long time, set the STANDBY/ON/OFF

switch to OFF.

2 STANDBY/ON indicator

Lit brightly:

Shows that the power of the unit is ON. In this

condition, you can switch the unit to STANDBY mode

using the p AMP key on the remote control.

Lit dimly:

Shows that the unit is in STANDBY mode. In this

condition, press the p AMP key on the remote control

to turn on the unit.

Off:

Shows that the power of the unit is OFF. In this

condition, you can turn on the unit using the

STANDBY/ON/OFF switch only.

3 PHONES jack

Outputs audio for private listening with headphones.

• When headphones are plugged in:

– Both speaker sets connected to the SPEAKERS L/R CH

terminals are turned off.

– No signals are output at the PRE OUT jacks.

– You cannot select MAIN DIRECT as the input source.

• If headphones are plugged into the PHONES jack while

MAIN DIRECT is selected as the input source, no audio is

output at the PHONES jack.

4 TRIM selector

Adjusts the volume level when headphones are

plugged in to avoid sudden changes in volume.

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 XLR balanced cables to connect a CD

player or network player with XLR balanced output jacks to the

BAL 1 or BAL 2 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 turntables.

• Because the power amplifier of A-S3000 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).

– Connecting with the left channel “–” terminal and the right channel “–” terminal

inverted (cross connection, Fig. 2).

– Deliberately connecting with the left/right channel “–” terminals and metal part

on the rear panel of this unit, as well as accidentally touching them.

• Do not connect your active subwoofer to the SPEAKERS L/R CH terminal.

Connect it to the PRE OUT jacks of this unit.

• Do not connect a component with no volume control, such as a CD player, to the

MAIN IN jacks, as the volume level of the signals input to the MAIN IN jacks is

fixed. If such equipment is connected, a sound may burst, and the unit and/or

speaker may be damaged.

■ Connecting the speakers

1 Remove approximately 10 mm of insulation

from the end of each speaker cable and twist

the exposed wires of the cable together to

prevent short circuits.

2 Unscrew the knob and then insert the bare

wire into the hole.

3 Tighten the knob.

• When loosening the knob of the speaker terminal, do not rotate

it excessively. The knob may come off and pose the danger of

being swallowed by a child.

• Touching the speaker terminal with a metallic rack may cause

short circuit and damage this unit. When installing the unit in a

rack, maintain a sufficient clearance to prevent the speaker

terminals from touching the rack.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the speaker

terminal when the unit is turned on.

■ 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

1 Unscrew the knob and then sandwich the Y-

shaped lug between the ring part and base.

2 Tighten the knob.

■ 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.

Example of a bi-wiring connection (L channel)

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.

y

To use the bi-wire connections, switch the SPEAKERS selector

to the A+B BI-WIRING position.

■ Connecting the power cable

Plug the power cable into the AC IN inlet when all

connections are complete, and then plug in the power

cable to the AC outlet.

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
