INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this YAMAHA product. We hope it will give you many years of trouble-free enjoyment. For the
best performance, read this manual carefully. It will guide you in operating your YAMAHA product.
FEATURES
<RX-E100>
• Minimum RMS Output Power per Channel
40 W + 40 W (6Ω, 20 - 20,000Hz, 0.1% THD)
• Full Operation System Remote Control
• 40-Station FM/AM Preset Tuning
• Multi-Function RDS Reception
• SUBWOOFER Output Terminal
The receiver (RX-E100) and CD player (CDX-E100) are the main units of the YAMAHA E100 series. You could upgrade
the system by adding the cassette deck (KX-E100) and MD recorder (MDX-E100)*.
* MD recorder (MDX-E100) may not be available for some areas.
•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.
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.
This compact disc player is
classified as a CLASS 1
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT label is located
on the rear exterior.
E-2
Laser component in this product is capable of
emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1.
GETTING STARTED
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:
• Use only AAA, UM-4, R03 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.

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.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS
Receiving RDS data
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system
which has been introduced by FM stations in many
European countries. Stations using this system transmit an
inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio
signal. RDS data contains various types of information,
such as PS (Program Service), PTY (Program Type), RT
(Radio Text), and CT (Clock Time).

Note
• RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is
not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal
strength is weak.
• Some FM stations do not offer RDS service. Of those that do,
not all provide the same types of services. The types provided
by the received RDS station are dimmed on the display. Check
with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in

CD preventive care
• This compact disc player is designed for playing
compact discs bearing the
attempt to load any other type of disc into the unit.
The unit will also play 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.
• 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.
or mark only. Never
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.
