CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.
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
equipments. Never pull the wires themselves.
5. The openings on the unit cover assure proper
ventilation of the unit. If these openings are
obstructed, the temperature inside the unit will rise
rapidly; therefore, avoid placing objects against these
openings. Install the unit in a well-ventilated area to
prevent fire or damage.
Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind, 20
cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel of the
unit to prevent fire or damage.
6. The voltage used must be the same as that specified
on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than
specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other
accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for
any damage resulting from use of this unit with a
voltage other than specified.
7. Always set the VOLUME control to “
” before starting
∞
the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually
to an appropriate level after the play has been started.
8. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents
as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry
cloth.
9. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section
regarding common operating errors before concluding
that the unit is faulty.
10. When not planning to use this unit for a long period
(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from
the wall outlet.
11.
To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power
plug when there is an electric storm.
12. Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be
taken so that the grounding or polarization of an
appliance is not defeated.
13. Do not connect any audio equipment to the AC outlet
on the rear panel if the equipment requires more power
than the outlet is rated to provide.
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 WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE
As 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.
When this unit is turned off by pressing the STANDBY/ON
switch on the front panel or the remote control, the
STANDBY indicator on the front panel lights up. This
state is called the standby mode. In this mode, this unit is
designed to consume a small amount of power. This
unit’s power supply cannot be completely cut off from the
AC line until the POWER switch on the front panel is set
in the OFF position or the AC power cord is disconnected.

setting while the power to this unit is on, otherwise
this unit may be damaged.
If this unit fails to turn on when the POWER switch is
pressed:
The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be set to
either end. If so, set the switch to either end when this
unit’s power supply is completely cut off.

NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL
English
Battery installation
Since the remote control will be used for many of this unit’s
control operations, you should begin by installing the
supplied batteries.
1. Turn the remote control over and remove the battery
compartment cover by sliding it in the direction of the
arrow.
2. Insert the batteries (AA, R6, UM-3 type) according to the
polarity markings on the inside of the battery
compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover.

Battery replacement
If you notice that the remote control must be used closer to
the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both
batteries with new ones.
Notes
● Use AA, R6, UM-3 batteries.
● Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration
inside the battery compartment.)
● Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for
an extended period of time.
● If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid
touching the leaked material and contact with clothing,
etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before
installing new batteries.
