OWNER’S MANUAL MODE D'EMPLOI BEDIENUNGSANLEITUNG BRUKSANVISNING MANUALE DI ISTRUZIONI
MANUAL DE INSTRUCCIONES GEBRUIKSAANWIJZING
Thank you for purchasing the YAMAHA KX-W592/KX-W492/KX-W392 stereo cassette deck.
CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.
1.This unit is a sophisticated stereo cassette deck. To ensure proper operation for the best possible performance, please read this manual carefully.
2.Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to 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 or motors.
3.Do not open the cabinet as this may result in damage to the deck or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the deck, contact your local dealer.
4.When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug; never pull the cord itself.
5.Do not apply excessive force when operating switches and knobs.
6.When moving the deck, be sure to first pull out the power plug and remove all cords connecting the deck to other equipments.
7.Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical solvents as this may damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
8.Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to come near the record/playback head assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or damage the head’s mirror-smooth finish, but also change the magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a deterioration in reproduction quality.
9.Although the record/playback head used in this unit is a high quality head with outstanding reproduction characteristics, it can become 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 one of the commonly available head cleaners or with cleaning solutions as explained later in this manual.
10.Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual for advice on common operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.
11.Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
12.Voltage Selector (General Model only)
The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit must be set for your local mains voltage BEFORE plugging in the AC mains supply.
Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material may infringe copyright laws.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION
The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself is turned off.
For U.K. customers
If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below.
Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
Special Instructions for U.K. Model
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:
Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markings indentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is colored BLUE must be connected the terminal which is marked with the letter N or colored BLACK. The wire which is colored BROWN must be connected to the terminals which is marked with the letter L or colored RED.
Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.
CAUTION (For Canada model)

NOTES ON THIS MANUAL
In this manual, the main operation buttons of the front panel are indicated based on DECK B when the operation is common to both DECKs A and B. Since the locations of the buttons of DECK B and DECK A are the same, you can easily find the desired button even when operating DECK A. This manual covers three models. In most cases, however, only model KX-W592 is shown in the example illustrations.
