PX10/PX8/PX5/PX3 Reference Manual
Signal processing in PX amplifier
The PX amplifier gives you comprehensive control over the sound with input processors and speaker processors. The signals from the input connectors are processed in input processors
equipped in each input connectors. The processed signals are added or divided depending on the set routing, processed finally with the speaker processor in each channel, and output from the
[SPEAKERS] terminals.
Refer to “TUNING screen” (page 25) in “Panel Operation” for details on the processing.
Input sensitivity and amplifier gain
The PX amplifier specifies the input sensitivity/amplifier gain from two input sensitivities or two amplifier gains. Input sensitivity controls the input signal level so that the amplifier can output
the maximum power. If signals over the input sensitivity are input, the built-in limiter of the PX amplifier is activated. If the volume is lowered, the input sensitivity rises and the amplifier gain
declines. Maximum power is constant if the volume is lowered.
For example, if the amplifier gain on the PX10 is set to 32 dB, the input sensitivity is +9.3 dBu and the maximum output power is 1,000 W (if speaker impedance is 8Ω). When the volume is not
lowered (0 dB), output power of 1,000 W results with +9.3 dBu input.
When the volume on the PX10 is lowered to 6 dB, the input sensitivity is +15.3 dBu (9.3 dBu + 6 dBu) and the amplifier gain is 26 dB (32 dB - 6 dB). If a +15.3 dBu signal is input, maximum
output power of 1,000 W is gained.

PX10/PX8/PX5/PX3 Reference Manual
The PX amplifier can be mounted in an EIA standard rack
(2U size).
Rack mounting
Precautions for rack mounting
This device is rated for operation at ambient tempera-
tures ranging from 0° to 40°C. When mounting the device
with other device(s) in an EIA standard equipment rack,
internal temperatures can exceed the specified upper
limit, resulting in impaired performance or failure. When
rack mounting the device, always observe the following
requirements to avoid heat buildup:
When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as
power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of
heat, leave more than 1U of space between the device
and other equipment. Also, either leave the open
spaces uncovered or install appropriate ventilating pan-
els to minimize the possibility of heat buildup. Multiple
PX amplifiers can be mounted by stacking vertically.
To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack
open and position it at least 10 centimeters from walls
or other surfaces. If the rear of the rack cannot be left
open, install a commercially available fan or similar ven-
tilating option to secure sufficient airflow. If you have
installed a fan kit, there may be cases in which closing
the rear of the rack will produce a greater cooling effect.
Refer to the rack and/or fan unit manual for details.
Connecting to the [SPEAKERS] termi-
nal
Binding post connector
Without plugs
Remove about 15 mm of insulation from the end of
each speaker cable, pass the bare wire through the holes
in the appropriate speaker terminals, and tighten the ter-
minals to securely clamp the wires. Make sure that the
bare wire ends do not jut out from the terminals and
touch the chassis.
Y-plugs
From above, insert the Y-plugs all the way into the
opening, and tighten the terminal.

Number Message Symptom Possible solution
01–06 SYSTEM ERROR The device has not started up correctly.
Turn the power off, and then turn back on after waiting at least 6 seconds. If this
does not solve the problem, initialize the memory (page 37). Should this also fail,
contact your Yamaha dealer.
07 SP PRESET DATA LOST The speaker preset file is corrupted.
Load the preset file again from a USB flash drive. If this does not solve the problem,
initialize the memory (page 37). Should this also fail, contact your Yamaha dealer.
08 WRONG SP PRESET DATA
The speaker preset data in the device are corrupted. Failure
might have occurred in loading a speaker preset file from the USB
flash drive.
Load the preset file again from a USB flash drive. If this does not solve the problem,
initialize the memory (page 37). Should this also fail, contact your Yamaha dealer.
20 OUTPUT CURRENT OVER [*]
Protection of the circuitry has been enabled in the device because
there is: 1) a short at a speaker terminal, amplifier terminal, or
wire; or 2) the amplifier load is excessive. (*: channel name)
Make sure that the speakers are not damaged and the total impedance is not too
low, and inspect the connection of the speaker cables.
21 AMP TEMP TOO HIGH
The temperature in the amplifier unit of has exceeded the allowed
limit. The output load is excessively high. This tends to occur
when the load of only channel A is high.
Since continuous high-power output causes high temperatures, lower the output
level. If the load is biased on the channel A, disperse the load by connecting to the
channel B or other amplifiers. Also, check whether dirt or a foreign object could
have clogged the cooling fan, and clean the fan itself if necessary.
22–24 LIMITED BY OVERHEAT
The amplifier temperature is excessively high, and so the limiter
for the output has been activated.
Since continuous high-power output causes high temperatures, lower the output
level. Also, check whether dirt or a foreign object could have clogged the cooling
fan, and clean the fan itself if necessary.
25 MUTED BY OVERHEAT
The amplifier temperature is excessively high, and so the output
level has been lowered.
Since continuous high-power output causes high temperatures, lower the output
level. Also, check whether dirt or a foreign object could have clogged the cooling
fan, and clean the fan itself if necessary.
26–27 POWER SUPPLY TEMP TOO HIGH
The amplifier temperature is excessively high, and so the cooling
fan has been set to the maximum speed and the limiter has been
activated.
Since continuous use may cause malfunction in the power supply unit, stop using
immediately, or lower the output level. Also, check whether dirt or a foreign object
could have clogged the cooling fan, and clean the fan itself if necessary.
33 SPEAKER IMPEDANCE TOO LOW [*] The speaker impedance is excessively low. (*: channel name)
Make sure that the speakers are not damaged and the total impedance is not too
low, and inspect the connection of the speaker cables.
