Precautions: Read this before operating your system

■ To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

■ Choose the installation location of this system carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from sources of hum such as transformers and electric motors.

■ Do not operate this system upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.

■ Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer.

■ The openings on the main unit cover assure proper ventilation of the main unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the main unit will rise rapidly. Avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the main unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent fire or damage.

■ Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before starting an audio source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.

■ When not planning to use this system for a long period of time

(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

■ Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of this system is not defeated.

■ Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.

When moving the main unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires connected to other equipments. Never pull the wire itself.

■ If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with the operation of this system, move the main unit away from such appliance.

■ Do not attempt to clean this system with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

■ Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that this system is faulty.

■ To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and the antenna cable when there is an electric storm.

■ Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before you finish all connections.

■ Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to come near the tape deck’s record/playback head assembly.

Doing so may not only scratch or damage the head’s mirrorsmooth finish, it may change the magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a deterioration in reproduction performance quality.

■ Although the tape deck’s record/playback heads are of high quality with outstanding reproduction characteristics, they can get dirty through the use of old tapes or from dust accumulation over time. This can have a serious effect on reproduction quality. Clean the heads regularly with commonly available head cleaners or with cleaning solutions.

■ The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on this system. Using this system with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other types of accidents causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this system with a voltage other than specified.

■ The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which may occur when turning this system on with the volume control setting at high. Also avoid exposure to continuous high levels of sound.

■ Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet. Condensation can cause this system to malfunction.

To eliminate condensation:

• Pickup

Leave the power on with no disc loaded until normal play becomes possible (about 1 hour).

• Tape head

Leave the power on with no tape loaded until normal playback becomes possible (about 1 hour).

Note:

If condensation forms on the tape head, dirt or dust may accumulate during use.

• Remote control

Wipe off condensation on the transmission window with a soft cloth before operating this system.

■ The carousel will turn when you open the disc tray by pressing

OPEN/CLOSE ; therefore, make sure the carousel stopped moving completely before you perform further operations such as placing or removing a disc from the disc tray. Otherwise, you may cause damage to your discs, or you might injure yourself.

This system is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this system itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode.

In this state, this system is designed to consume a certain amount of power.

Note

Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright materials may infringe copyright laws.

CAUTION FOR CARRYING THE MAIN UNIT

Be sure not to carry or tip the main unit with discs in it.

CAUTION FOR MOVING THE MAIN UNIT

Before moving the main unit, first remove all discs from the disc tray and close the tray by pressing the OPEN/

CLOSE button. After you confirm that “NO DISC” lights up on the display, turn this system into the standby mode by pressing the STANDBY/ON switch, and then disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet.

Voltage Selector (China and General models only)

Never attempt to play a disc other than specified above with the CD/Video CD player because it may cause a damage to this system.

VIDEO CD

Video CDs are classified into two types, version 1.1 and 2.0. The CD/Video CD player can play both types.

Video CD (version 1.1): With the same operation as compact discs, you can enjoy sounds and pictures (movies).

Video CD (version 2.0): In addition to a normal play which is the same as version 1.1, you can enjoy a Playback Control operation.

(For details on Playback Control, refer to page 17.)

• Discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean.

Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.

To prevent a malfunction of this system:

• Do not use any nonstandard shaped disc

(heart etc.) available on the market because it might damage the system.

• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it. If you use such a disc, a disc may get stuck in the system, or damage to the system may result.

Notes about handling discs

• Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not scratched.

• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity for a long period of time because these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.

No!

• Discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc’s play.

• Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball-point pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and may adversely affect the disc’s play.

• Do not warp discs.

• When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the system and store in an appropriate case.

• When removing or storing a disc, be careful not to scratch the playing surface.

To play an 8-cm CD

Place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put a normal (12-cm) CD on top of an 8-cm CD.

Automatic preset tuning

You can make use of an automatic preset tuning function. With this function, the built-in tuner performs automatic tuning. Up to 40 stations [8 stations x 5 groups (A, B, C, D and E)] are stored automatically.

1

Turn on the power.

2


3 Press and hold MEMORY for more than 2 seconds.

* The “MEMORY” (6) and “AUTO” (4) indicators flash.

The tuner performs automatic tuning and searches for FM stations first and then AM stations. Received stations are programmed sequentially to A1, A2, A3 and so on.

When the automatic preset tuning is completed;

The display shows the frequencies of the first preset station (stored to A1).

If you want to check the contents and the number of preset stations, follow the procedure in the section “To recall a preset station” on page 21.

To recall a preset station

Simply follow the procedure in the section “To recall a preset station” on page 21.

Notes

• The automatic preset tuning search will be performed through all frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If the number of received stations is less than 40, the search will stop after searching all frequencies.

* Since FM stations are searched for first, there may be a case that 40 preset stations are occupied by FM stations only.

• With this function, only stations with sufficient signal strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to program is weak in signal strength, tune in to it with the Manual tuning method (in monaural) and program it by following the procedure in the section “To store stations” on page 21.

• You can replace a preset station with another FM or AM station manually by simply following the procedure in the section “To store stations” on page 21.

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data from being lost even if the AC supply lead is disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary power failure. If, however, the power is cut for more than one week, the memory may be erased. If so, it can be re-programmed by simply following the Preset tuning steps.

General information

Dolby B Type Noise Reduction

Dolby noise reduction is an extremely effective method of reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. The builtin tape deck incorporates Dolby B type noise reduction system.

DOLBY NR is useful for both recording and playback; be sure that the same noise reduction is used on recording and playback.

Dolby noise reduction is manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

“DOLBY” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing

Corporation.

• Do not use C-120 tapes or poor quality tapes, since they can cause malfunctions.

• Before loading a tape on the tray, tighten the tape slack with a pen or pencil.

• Tapes have removable tabs which prevent accidental recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab on the top left corner protects the side facing you from erasure. Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record again.

• The tape deck features an automatic tape selector. Just load the tape, and the type of tape being used will be sensed automatically.

• The tape deck can play back metal tapes as well as normal or high position tapes; however, recording cannot be done on metal tapes with good sound quality.

About the tape counter

The tape deck is equipped with a tape counter that is useful for searching and locating a desired point on the tape. The tape counter is shown on the display.

Pressing (stop) when the deck is being stopped will reset the tape counter to “0000”.
