How to Use This Manual

This manual describes three YAMAHA receivers, RX-385, RX-385 RDS and RX-485 RDS. There are some differences between those three models. Especially, RX-385 RDS and RX-485 RDS contain the functions for receiving special data on RDS network stations. RX-385, on the other hand, is a receiver with a usual FM/AM tuning function. Several places in the manual refer to differences in features between the three models. Be sure to follow the procedure for the model you are using. * RDS is a data transmitting service system in network which is employed by FM stations. RDS stations are increasing in many

countries (especially in Europe).

Pure Direct Switch to Reproduce the Purest Source Sound

1. To assure the finest performance, please read this manual

carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

2. Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from windows,

heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or water.

3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact

your dealer.

4. 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 wires themselves.

5. 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.

6. Always set the VOLUME control to “–

∞

” before starting the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after playback has been started.

7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might

damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

8. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding

common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

9. When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie.,

vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

10.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and

disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

11.Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so that

the grounding or polarization of an appliance is not defeated.

12.AC outlet

Do not connect audio equipment to the AC outlet on the rear panel if that equipment requires more power than the outlet is rated to provide.

13.Voltage Selector (General Model only)

The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit must be set for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC main supply. Voltages are 110/120/220/240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

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 UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION (FOR CANADA MODEL)

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT AND FULLY INSERT.

FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMER

THIS DIGITAL APPARATUS DOES NOT EXCEED THE “CLASS B” LIMITS FOR RADIO NOISE EMISSIONS FROM DIGITAL APPARATUS SET OUT IN THE RADIO INTERFERENCE REGULATION OF THE CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS.

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 below. 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.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR U.K. MODEL

IMPORTANT:

The wire in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: NEUTRAL Brown: LIVE

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.

FREQUENCY STEP switch (General Model only)

Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (located at the rear) according to the frequency spacing in your area. Before setting this switch, disconnect the AC power plug of this unit from the AC outlet.

CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself is turned off.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

●

Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure.

●

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Connecting the AM loop antenna

* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

GND terminal

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Notes

●

When connecting the indoor FM antenna, make sure that the grooved part of the connector hole is facing downward.

●

If you need an outdoor FM antenna to improve FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut to be as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could damage this unit and/or speakers.

●

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

●

Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.

How to Connect:

Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–)

➀

Press up the tab.

➁

Insert the bare wire. [Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”) insulation from the speaker wires.]

➂

Press down the tab and secure the wire.

ABOUT THE ACCESSORY TERMINALS

AC OUTLET(S)

(Europe model) ...................................2 SWITCHED OUTLETS

(U.K. model) ..........................................1 SWITCHED OUTLET

Use these to connect the power cords from your components to this unit. The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s

POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any

component whenever this unit is turned on. The maximum power (total power consumption of components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC

OUTLET(S) is 100 watts.

REMOTE CONTROL (PHONO) connector

RX-485 RDS only

If you have a YAMAHA turntable with a terminal for remote control, connect it to this connector by using the cable provided with the turntable. This connection allows you to control the turntable from the provided remote control transmitter.

GND terminal (For turntable use)

Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to this terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.
