IMPORTANT
Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below. Serial No.: The serial number is located on the rear of the unit.
Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
PRECAUTIONS:READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT
To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
This system is equipped with the newly developed Active Servo Processing Speaker System. It is not designed for use with conventional speakers. Therefore, do not attempt to connect other speakers than the provided speaker system.
Choose the installation location of this unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a 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 and electric motors.
Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer.
The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the cabinet will rise rapidly and eventually damage the circuits. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings and do not install the unit where the flow of air through the ventilation openings could be impeded.
Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before starting the 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 (ie., 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 an appliance is not defeated.
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 equipment. Never pull the wire itself.
Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.
To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.
Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before you finish all connections.
Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to come near the cassette deck’s record/playback head assembly in this unit. Doing so may not only scratch or damage the head’s mirror­smooth finish, it may change the magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a deterioration in reproduction performance quality.
Although the cassette deck’s record/playback heads used in this unit are high quality heads with outstanding reproduction characteristics, they 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.
The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product 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.
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which may occur when turning on the unit with the volume control setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.
Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. To eliminate condensation:
CD pickup
Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).
Tape head
Leave the power on with no cassette in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).
Note
If condensation forms on the tape head, foreign matter may accumulate during use.
Remote control
Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
