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.

Precautions: Read this before operating your system

NOTES ABOUT DISCS

To prevent a malfunction of this system:

• Do not use any nonstandard shaped disc

(heart etc.) available on the market because it might damage the system.

• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or

paste on it. If you use such a disc, a disc may get stuck in the system, or damage to the system may result.

Notes about handling discs

• 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 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!

• Do not warp discs.

• When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the system and store in an appropriate case.

• When removing or storing a disc, be careful not to scratch the playing surface.

To play an 8-cm CD

Place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put a normal (12-cm) CD on top of an 8-cm CD.

■4 channel 5 speaker configuration

This system employs a 5 speaker configuration: 2 front speakers, 2 rear paralleled speakers and a center speaker. The front speakers are used for outputting main source sound. The rear speakers are for effect and surround sounds when the sound field program

PRO LOGIC or HALL is selected. The center

speaker is for center sounds (dialogue etc.) when the sound field program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected.

■Placing the speakers

Front speakers: On both sides of and at approximately the

same height as the TV.

Center speaker: Precisely between the front speakers. Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing

slightly inward. About 1.8 m (approx. six feet) from the floor.

Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so (not included in this system)

critical because low bass tones are not highly directional. However, we recommend that you place the subwoofer anywhere in front of your listening position.

■Mounting the rear speakers

Mount the rear speakers on a shelf, rack or on the floor, or hang them on the wall.

To mount the rear speakers by using commercially available speaker stands

The provided mounting bracket has 1 pair of screw holes (at an interval of 60 mm). They are for mounting the speaker on a speaker stand. * These screw holes can be used with M4 screws only.

Note

It is recommended that you connect the speaker cords to the speaker’s terminals before attaching the bracket to the speaker.

1 Attach the bracket to the bottom of the speaker by using the

provided screw so that the convex part of the bracket fits in the grooved part of the speaker as shown left.

2 Mount the speaker on the speaker stand by using the screw holes

on the bracket.

English

Tapping screw (Available at the hardware store)

Min. 12 mm

65 mm

Wall or wall support

To mount the rear speakers directly on the wall

If desired, you can hang the speaker on the protruding screws on the wall without using the bracket. Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown left, and hang the holes of the speaker on the protruding screws. * Make sure that the screws are securely caught by a narrow part

of the holes.

WARNING

• Each of the rear speakers weighs 0.8 kg (1 lbs. 12 oz.). Do not mount them on thin plywood or soft wall surface material, as the screws may come out of the flimsy surface, causing the speakers to fall and be damaged, or result in personal injury.

• Do not fasten the speakers to the wall with nails, adhesives, or other unstable hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause them to fall.

• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cords, fix them to the wall.

• Select a proper position on the wall to mount the speaker and the stand so that no one will injure his/her head or face with the edge of the stand.

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.

The Sound Field Processor built into this system enables you to enjoy listening to a source with an ambience of actual concert hall or three-dimensional acoustics. This system provides preset sound field programs shown below. You can enjoy an excellent sound field by selecting any one of them and by adding any other desired adjustments.

This system also incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding sound field program.

■Sound field programs

YMERSION

DOLBY SURROUND

PRO • LOGIC

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.
