We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion – and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Since hearing damage from loud sounds is often undetectable until it is too late, YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer

Electronics Group recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.

PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT

CAUTIONS

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

•Install your unit in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean place – away from windows, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, or cold. To avoid humming sounds, locate the unit away from other electrical appliances, motors, and transformers. To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to rain and water.

•(U.K. and Europe models only)

Be sure to allow at least 10 cm of ventilation space at the top, on left, right, and back sides of RX-E100.

•Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.

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

•Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords.

•Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before starting playback of an audio source: increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.

•When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (i.e., 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 the unit is not defeated.

•Do not clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

•Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.

•Do not place another component on top of this unit, as damage or discoloration on the surface of the unit may result.

•To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet during an electrical storm.

•When disconnecting the power cord from the wall

outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.

•Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall outlet before you finish all connections.

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

•When listening to the receiver at a high volume level for a long time, the temperature inside the unit rises. To prevent overheating and possible damage to this unit, the internal fan starts running.

•Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

CAUTION FOR CARRYING THE UNIT

Before carrying the unit, first remove all discs from the unit, press STANDBY/ON to turn the unit off, then disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR (General model only)

The voltage selector (on the rear panel of this unit) must be correctly set to the voltage used locally before making any connection to the AC power supply.

FREQUENCY STEP switch <General model only>

Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (located on the rear panel) according to the frequency spacing in your area.

Before setting this switch, disconnect the AC power plug of this unit from the AC outlet.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personel only.

For Canadian Customers

To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot and fully insert.

Thes Class B digital apparatus complies with CANADIAN ICES-003

The remote control

This remote control controls a whole system: not only RX-E100 but also CDX-E100. Moreover, a cassette deck (KX-E100) and MD recorder (MDX-E100) that level up your system can be operated by it. Operating buttons for each unit are explained on the pages below:

Receiver, RX-E100:	p.7
CD player, CDX-E100:	p.15
Cassette deck, KX-E100:	p.20
MD recorder, MDX-E100:	p.20

Loading the batteries for the remote control

1 Remove the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert 4 batteries into the battery compartment.

GETTING STARTED

• Use only AAA, UM-4, R03 batteries for replacement.

• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)

Notes

English

• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time.

• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

3 Replace the battery compartment cover.

Notes

•There should be no large obstacles between the remote control and the main unit.

•If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.), it might cause the remote control not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

Battery replacement

If you find that the remote control must be used closer to the main unit than usual, the batteries are weak. Replace batteries with new ones.
