English

Set this system allowing enough spaces around and behind the main unit to assure good ventilation. Be sure not to place another unit or any object on top of the main unit to prevent the ventilation holes on the top panel from being obstructed. Otherwise, it may cause fire or damage to the main unit.

Note: When placing the speakers apart from the main unit, be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm above, behind and on both sides of the main unit. If

the main unit is put in a rack, the front of it must be fully opened.

Français

Installer ce système en laissant assez d’espace autour et derrière l’appareil principal pour assurer une bonne ventilation. Veiller à ne pas empiler un autre appareil ou un autre objet sur l’appareil principal afin de ne pas boucher les orifices de ventilation du panneau supérieur. Sinon, on risquerait de provoquer un incendie ou d’endommager l’appareil principal.

Remarque: Lorsqu’on place les enceintes à une certaine distance de l’appareil principal, veiller à laisser un espace d’au moins 20 cm au-dessus, derrière

et sur les deux côtés de l’appareil principal.

Deutsch

Stellen Sie das System so auf, daß um und hinter dem Gerät genügend freier Raum vorhanden ist, um eine ausreichende Belüftung zu gewährleisten. Es dürfen keine anderen Geräte oder Gegenstände auf das Gerät gestellt werden, weil die Belüftungsschlitze an der Geräteoberseite nicht abgedeckt werden dürfen. Bei abgedeckten Belüftungsöffnungen kann ein Brand verursacht werden oder das Gerät kann beschädigt werden.

Hinweis: Wenn die Lautsprecher vom Gerät entfernt aufgestellt werden, muß ein freier Abstand von mindestens 20 cm über, hinter und auf beiden Seiten des

Gerätes vorhanden sein. Wenn das Gerät in einem Regal oder Schrank aufgestellt wird, so muß die Vorderseite vollständig geöffnet sein.

Si l’on place l’appareil principal dans un meuble, veiller à ce que le côté avant du meuble soit grand ouvert.

Svenska

Vid placeringen av anläggningen, skall du se till att det finns tillräckligt med fritt utrymme runt om samt bakom huvudapparaten, för att tillförsäkra en bra ventilation. Var noga med att inte ställa någon annan apparat ell11er något föremål ovanpå huvudapparaten för att förhindra att ventilationshålen på ovansidan blir blockerade. Annars kan huvudapparaten utsättas för brand eller skadas på annat sätt.

Anmärkning: När högtalarna ställs separat från huvudapparaten, skall du förvissa dig om att det finns ett fritt utrymme på minst 20 cm ovanför, bakom och på

huvudapparatens båda sidor. Om huvudapparaten placeras i en stereomöbel, måste möbelns framsida lämnas helt öppen.

Italiano

Installare il sistema lasciando sufficiente spazio intorno e dietro all’apparecchio centrale per garantire una ventilazione sufficiente. Evitare assolutamente di posizionare altri dispositivi o oggetti sulla parte superiore dell’apparecchio centrale onde evitare di ostruirne le aperture per la ventilazione presenti sul lato superiore. In caso contrario possono verificarsi incendi, o l’apparecchio può subire danni.

Nota: Se si installano gli altoparlanti lontano dall’apparecchio principale, quest’ultimo deve essere posizionato in modo da avere almeno 20 cm di spazio libero sopra,

dietro e suoi due lati. Se si installa l’apparecchio principale in uno scaffale, il lato anteriore dello scaffale deve essere completamente aperto.

Español

Instale el sistema dejando suficiente espacio alrededor y detrás de la unidad principal para garantizar una buena circulación de aire. No instale otro aparato o un objeto encima de la unidad principal porque obstruirá los orificios de salida de aire en el panel superior. Puede provocar un fuego o dañar la unidad principal.

Nota: Cuando instale los altavoces alejados de la unidad principal, asegúrese de dejar un espacio de por lo menos 20 cm encima, detrás y a ambos lados de la

unidad principal.

Si se coloca la unidad principal dentro de un mueble, no debe cerrar la tapa delantera.

Nederlands

Zorg ervoor bij de opstelling van dit systeem dat er voldoende ruimte rondom en aan de achterzijde van de hoofdeenheid is voor het verkrijgen van een goede ventilatie. Plaats geen andere apparatuur of voorwerpen bovenop de hoofdeenheid om te voorkomen dat de ventilatieopeningen in het bovenpaneel geblokkeerd raken. Anders kan dit brandgevaar en beschadiging van de hoofdeenheid veroorzaken.

Opmerking: Bij het opstellen van de luidsprekers op afstand van de hoofdeenheid, een ruimte van tenminste 20 cm aan de bovenzijde, achterzijde en aan de

linker en rechter zijde van de hoofdeenheid open laten.

Als de hoofdeenheid in een rek wordt geplaatst, dient de voorzijde ervan volledig open te zijn.

Precautions: Read this before operating your system

English

■ 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 unit will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the main unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent fire and 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 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 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 equipment. Never pull the wire itself.

■ If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with this system operation, move the main unit away from such an 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 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 tape deck’s record/playback head assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or damage the head’s mirror-smooth 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 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 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 on this system 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 this system to malfunction.

To eliminate condensation:

CD pickup/MD 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.

■ To prevent a malfunction of this system:

Do not use any non standard shaped compact disc

•

(heart etc.) available on the market, because it may damage this system. Do not use a compact disc with tape, seals, or paste

•

on it, because damage to this system may result.

This system is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this system itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this system is designed to consume a certain level of power.

Note

Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, compact discs, minidiscs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material may infringe copyright laws.
