CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.

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

2.Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or water.

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

4.Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires connected to other equipments. Never pull the wires themselves.

5.The openings on the unit cover assure proper ventilation of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly; therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings. Install the unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent fire or damage.

Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind, 20 cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel of the unit to prevent fire or damage.

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

7.Always set the VOLUME control to “” before starting the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after the play has been started.

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

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 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.

When this unit is turned off by pressing the STANDBY/ON switch on the front panel or the remote control, the

STANDBY indicator on the front panel lights up. This state is called the standby mode. In this mode, this unit is designed to consume a small amount of power. This unit’s power supply cannot be completely cut off from the AC line until the POWER switch on the front panel is set in the OFF position or the AC power cord is disconnected.

Battery replacement

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

Notes

cUse AA, R6, UM-3 batteries.

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

cRemove the batteries if the remote control is not used for an extended period of time.

cIf batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material and contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

Notes

cThe area between the remote control and the main unit must be clear of large obstacles.

cDo not expose the remote control sensor to strong lighting, in particular, an inverter type fluorescent lamp; otherwise, the remote control may not work properly. If necessary, position the main unit away from direct lighting.

E-3

CONNECTIONS

Caution: Plug in this unit and other components after all connections are completed.
