Insert the Euroblock plug into the SPEAKERS
terminals of the unit.
Note
• You must use the supplied Euroblock plugs. If the plugs have
been lost, please contact your Yamaha dealer.
• Recommended cable gauges for the Euroblock plug: AWG26
2
(0.13 mm ) to AWG16 (1.3 mm
• To prepare the cable for attachment to a Euroblock connector,
strip the wire as shown in the illustration using stranded wire
to make connections. With a Euroblock connection, stranded
wires may be prone to breakage because of metal fatigue due
to the weight of the cable or due to vibration. When rack
mounting your device, use a lacing bar when possible to
bundle and fasten the cables.
• Do not tin (solder) the exposed end.

Connecting speakers in bridge mode

Connect the speakers to the unit with the supplied Euroblock plug
and commercially-available speaker cables, and set the
NORMAL/BRIDGE switch to "BRIDGE".
Note
Unplug the unit's power cord from the AC wall outlet before
changing the NORMAL/BRIDGE switch setting.

Connecting to a wired network

Connect the unit to your router with a commercially-available STP
network cable (CAT-5 or higher straight cable).
Using another ETHERNET jack, you can connect the unit to
another network device (such as another XDA-QS5400) in
cascade.
Notice
Do not connect both ETHERNET jacks to the same router. In that
case, a routing loop might interfere with communication of the
whole network.

Connecting external devices

For a power amplifier
Use a commercially-available analog stereo pin cable (stereo
audio RCA cable). You can connect a power amplifier to each
ZONE.
Note
To prevent loud sound or unexpected noise, before connecting a
power amplifier, be sure to unplug the unit's power cord from the
AC wall outlet and turn off the power amplifier.
For an external device with analog stereo audio output
Use a commercially-available analog stereo pin cable (stereo
audio RCA cable).
For a paging system with the Cut/Fade function
Use a commercially-available analog stereo pin cable (stereo
audio RCA cable). The audio signals from a paging system cut in
or fade in the playback in each ZONE.
Note
Control the Cut/Fade function using the Web Control screen. For
details, see the following:
• "Setting menu items" (p.12)
For a contact closure (such as a door bell) with the ON/
OFF switch
Use a commercially-available 3.5 mm monaural mini-plug cable.
When the contact closure is closed, the preset chime sounds in
the selected ZONE.
Note
Control the chime function using the Web Control screen. For
details, see the following:
• "Setting menu items" (p.12)
For a remote control device
Use a commercially-available 3.5 mm monaural mini-plug cable.
For connecting to an infrared signal receiver/emitter that allows
you to operate the unit and other devices from another room.
For a device compatible with the trigger function
Use a commercially-available 3.5 mm monaural mini-plug cable.
The trigger function can control external devices (such as XDA-
AMP5400) in conjunction with powering on/off the unit.
Note
Control the trigger function using the Web Control screen. For
details, see the following:
• "Setting menu items" (p.12)

Connecting the power cord

After all the connections are complete, plug the supplied power
cord into the AC IN jack on the rear panel, and then plug the
power cord to an AC wall outlet.
