Only if you want to get a signal out of it when you have speakers connected.
An AX-2000? More photos please. Lots more pics. Please.

Super nice beast!! :guitar: :guitar:
You're not shorting anything, you're connecting them. If those jumpers weren't there the audio signal would not be connected from one side to the other. So yes, it is needed!
Finally got to open the amp. The first picture shows a burnt ( don't know what you call this). This is located near the volume control. Could this be the reason the amp trips when I increase volume or when amp gets hot?
BTW had to replace the fuse . A wire was soldered between the ends. I guess a technician did this to prevent the amp from tripping. I just hope nothing was damaged.
Everything is copper from the divisions to the bottom cover. The top cover is divided into three sections, wonder what the reason is.

Hi egp823.
I have an AX-2000 too, which I am wanting to bring back into use, and wonder if you can tell me about the connecting pins between the "send" and "receive" sockets on your one, please? Do the pins make a connection with both signal and the outer ground ring of the socket on the back of the amp, or just the central signal pins? I don't have the original shorting pins for my AX 2000 and if I use a set of RCA phono leads in place of the original Yamaha connectors, the volume is way too high even at the lowest setting on the control. I am wondering if this is because of an actual fault or whether somehow connecting the central pin and the outer ground ring is the cause of the issue.
If you are able to look at your connecting pins and let me know, I would be really grateful.
Thank you.

Just connect the center pins.

Not sure why they have three separate top covers but I've not seen any as nice on any other brand amp. Looks like the covers on an MX-2000.
Must sound very nice if it is similar to the MX-2000.

That's great, thank you very much. I will make up a temporary set of short cables with only the signal pins of RCA plugs connected, to see if this works for me before sourcing a more permanent solution if it does work.

Unfortunately it looks like it is actually faulty. Connecting just the centre pins gives the same result as before, namely super high volume as soon as you turn the volume up even slightly from minimum. Works okay using a digital input (I'm using an optical one) and having "Digital Direct" selected, so at least I can still play CDs (and they sound great!), but will need to be looked at if I want to use all the normal analogue inputs and controls in the future.
