CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT

1To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

2Install this unit in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture or cold. In a cabinet, allow about 10 cm (4 in.) of free space all around RX-E400 for adequate ventilation.

3Locate this unit away from other electrical appliances, motors, or transformers to avoid humming sounds.

4Do not expose this unit to sudden temperature changes from cold to hot, nor locate this unit in an environment with high humidity (i.e., a room with a humidifier) to prevent condensation inside this unit, which may cause an electrical shock, fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

5Avoid installing this unit in a location where foreign objects may fall onto this unit or where this unit may be exposed to liquid dripping or splashing. On the top of this unit, do not place:

•Other components, as they may cause damage and/or discoloration on the surface of this unit.

•Burning objects (i.e., candles), as they may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

•Containers with liquid in them, as they may fall, spilling the liquid and causing an electrical shock to the user and/or damage to this unit.

6Do not cover this unit with a newspaper, tablecloth, curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If the temperature inside this unit rises, it may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

7Do not plug in this unit to a wall outlet until all connections are complete.

8Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.

9Do not use excessive force on switches, knobs and/or cords.

10When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.

11Do not clean this unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

12Use only the voltage specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than as specified.

13To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet during an electrical storm.

14Do not attempt to modify or fix this unit. Contact qualified YAMAHA service personnel when any service is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any reason.

15When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (i.e., vacation), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

16Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on common operating errors before concluding that this unit is faulty.

17Before moving this unit, press STANDBY/ON to set the unit in standby mode, then disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

18VOLTAGE SELECTOR (General model only)

The VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel of this unit must be set for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC main supply. Voltages are 110/120/ 220/240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

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 the disc from the unit, press STANDBY/ON to turn the unit off, then disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR U.K. MODEL

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: NEUTRAL

Brown: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

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 above.

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.

CAUTION

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

Laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1.

RX-E400 (U.S.A., Canada and General models) The nameplate is located on the bottom of the unit.

CD PREVENTIVE CARE

•This compact disc player is designed for use with following types of disc only. Never attempt to load any other type of disc into the unit. The unit will also play 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.

(Playback only)

•Be sure to use only CD-R and CD-RW discs made by reliable manufacturers.

•Some discs cannot be played depending on the disc characteristics or recording conditions (copyrightprotected in a particular way, etc.).

•Compact 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.

•Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these could damage the unit.

To prevent a malfunction of this unit

•Do not use any non standard shaped CD (heart, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage the unit.

•Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it, because damage to the unit may result.

•Compact 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.

•Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, antistatic 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!

2 Insert batteries into the battery compartment.

3 Replace the battery compartment cover.

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.

Notes

•Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.

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

•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.

Within approximately 6 m (20 feet)

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.

Removing the protection sheet

The remote control is shipped with a protection sheet to prevent the surface from being scratched during transportation.

When removing the sheet, first put adhesive tape on an edge of the remote control so that the tape sticks to the sheet. Then peel the sheet off with the tape.

Connecting the system

Connecting RX-E400 and CDX-E400

1 Connect ‰ to ‰ using the Audio pin cable. Insert the plugs into the jacks of the same color.

2 Connect RX-E400 and CDX-E400 with the system control cable.

The other SYSTEM CONNECTOR of CDX-E400 is for connecting MDX-E300 or KX-E300.

3 Connect the AC power plug of CDX-E400 to AC OUTLET of RX-E400.

This connection allows you to control the power of the system through one-touch operation. It also reduces the standby power consumption of CDX-E400.
