Precautions: Read this before operating your system
■ To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
■ Choose the installation location of this system 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 system 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 main unit cover assure proper ventilation
of the main unit. If these openings are obstructed, the
temperature inside the main unit will rise rapidly. Avoid
placing objects against these openings, and install the main
unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent fire or damage.
■ Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before starting
an audio source play. Increase the volume gradually to an
appropriate level after play has started.
■ When not planning to use this system for a long period 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 this system is not
defeated.
■ Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.
When moving the main unit, first disconnect the power plug
and the wires connected to other equipments. Never pull the
wire itself.
■ If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with the
operation of this system, move the main unit away from such
appliance.
■ Do not attempt to clean this system 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 this system is
faulty.
■ To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug
and the antenna cable when there is an electric 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 tape deck’s record/playback head assembly.
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 tape deck’s record/playback heads are of high
quality with outstanding reproduction characteristics, they can
get 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
commonly available head cleaners or with cleaning solutions.
■ The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on
this system. Using this system with a higher voltage than
specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other types of
accidents causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held
responsible for any damage resulting from use of this system
with a voltage other than 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 this system on with the volume control setting at
high. Also avoid exposure 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 this system to
malfunction.
To eliminate condensation:
• Pickup
Leave the power on with no disc loaded until normal play
becomes possible (about 1 hour).
• Tape head
Leave the power on with no tape loaded until normal
playback becomes possible (about 1 hour).
Note:
If condensation forms on the tape head, dirt or dust may
accumulate during use.
• Remote control
Wipe off condensation on the transmission window with a
soft cloth before operating this system.
■ The carousel will turn when you open the disc tray by pressing
OPEN/CLOSE; therefore, make sure the carousel stopped
moving completely before you perform further operations such
as placing or removing a disc from the disc tray. Otherwise,
you may cause damage to your discs, or you might injure
yourself.

• Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not
scratched.
• 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.
• Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when
writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball-point
pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may
damage the disc and may adversely affect the disc’s play.
English
• 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, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other

(1) Supplied FM antenna
Connect the FM antenna wire to the corresponding terminal and
direct it to the direction where the strongest signal can be received.
(2) Supplied AM loop antenna
Connect the AM loop antenna wires to the corresponding
terminals. Position the AM loop antenna for optimum reception.
Notes
• When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM loop
antenna, try reversing the wire connections (from the right terminal to
the left one, and vice versa).
• The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The
antenna may be hung on a wall.
Using an external antenna
• If you need better reception, use an external FM antenna instead
of an indoor FM antenna. Consult your dealer.
• Use an external AM antenna if you need better reception.
Consult your dealer.

Speaker balance adjustment
You can adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in test tone
generator. This is important for the best performance of the built-in Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder.
You can adjust the sound output level of center and rear speakers from –21 to +10 and the balance of the sound output
levels of the left and right front speakers from L–6 to R–6.
The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done from your listening position with the remote control.
Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.

The tuner performs automatic tuning and searches for FM stations
first and then AM stations. Received stations are programmed
sequentially to A1, A2, A3 and so on.
When the automatic preset tuning is completed;
The display shows the frequencies of the first preset station (stored
to A1).
If you want to check the contents and the number of preset stations,
follow the procedure in the section “To recall a preset station” on
page 22.
To recall a preset station
Simply follow the procedure in the section “To recall a preset
station” on page 22.
Notes
• The automatic preset tuning search will be performed through all
frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If the number of received stations
is less than 40, the search will stop after searching all frequencies.
* Since FM stations are searched for first, there may be a case that 40
preset stations are occupied by FM stations only.
• With this function, only stations with sufficient signal strength are stored
automatically. If the station you want to program is weak in signal
strength, tune in to it with the Manual tuning method (in monaural) and
program it by following the procedure in the section “To store stations”
on page 22.
• You can replace a preset station with another FM or AM station
manually by simply following the procedure in the section “To store
stations” on page 22.
Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data
from being lost even if the AC supply lead is disconnected from
the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary power
failure. If, however, the power is cut for more than one week,
the memory may be erased. If so, it can be re-programmed by
simply following the Preset tuning steps.

General information
• Do not use C-120 tapes or poor quality tapes, since they
can cause malfunctions.
• Before loading a tape on the tray, tighten the tape slack
with a pen or pencil.
• Tapes have removable tabs which prevent accidental
recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the
tab on the top left corner protects the side facing you
from erasure. Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to
erase or record again.
• The tape deck features an automatic tape selector. Just
load the tape, and the type of tape being used will be
sensed automatically.
• The tape deck can play back metal tapes as well as
normal or high position tapes; however, recording
cannot be done on metal tapes with good sound quality.

an excellent sound field by selecting any one of them and by adding any other desired adjustments.

This program is used for playing sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound
effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialogue, and a rear channel for special sound
effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range.
This program is used for simplified play of Dolby Surround encoded sources. With this program, sound effects are
outputted from the front left and right speakers and no sound from the rear speakers.
YMERSION is Yamaha’s proprietary technology that enhances the spread of a normal stereo source play sound,
creating three-dimensional acoustics using only two speakers.
This program presents you with an ambience of actual concert hall by adding effects as sonic reflections or
reberverations that create sound environment of a hall. Sound effects are outputted from the front and rear speakers.
Orchestra and opera music is suited for this sound field.
