19 For U.S. customers only:
Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is
connected to this unit, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. article 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding systerm of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this YAMAHA product. We hope it will give you many years of trouble-free enjoyment. For the
best performance, read this manual carefully. It will guide you in operating your YAMAHA product.
FEATURES
<RX-E100>
• Minimum RMS Output Power per Channel
40 W + 40 W (6Ω, 20 - 20,000Hz, 0.1% THD)
• Full Operation System Remote Control
• 40-Station FM/AM Preset Tuning
• SUBWOOFER Output Terminal
The receiver (RX-E100) and CD player (CDX-E100) are the main units of the YAMAHA E100 series. You could upgrade
the system by adding the cassette deck (KX-E100) and MD recorder (MDX-E100)*.
*MD recorder (MDX-E100) may not be available for some areas.
•To assure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
•Install your unit in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean
place – away from windows, heat sources, vibration,
dust, moisture, or cold. To avoid humming sounds,
locate the unit away from other electrical appliances,
motors, and transformers. To prevent fire or electrical
shock, do not expose to rain and water.
•(U.K. and Europe models only)
Be sure to allow at least 10 cm of ventilation space at
the top, on left, right, and back sides of RX-E100.
•Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may overheat,
possibly causing damage.
•Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,
contact your dealer.
•Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords.
•Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before
starting playback of an audio source: increase the
volume gradually to an appropriate level after play has
started.
•When not planning to use this unit for long periods of
time (i.e., 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 the unit is not
defeated.
•Do not clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might
damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
•Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on
common operating errors before concluding that your
unit is faulty.
•Do not place another component on top of this unit, as
damage or discoloration on the surface of the unit may
result.
•To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet during an electrical storm.
•When disconnecting the power cord from the wall
outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.
•Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall outlet before
you finish all connections.
•The voltage to be used must be the same as that
specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher
voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and
may result in a fire or other type of accident causing
damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any
damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage
other than that which is specified.
•When listening to the receiver at a high volume level for
a long time, the temperature inside the unit rises. To
prevent overheating and possible damage to this unit,
the internal fan starts running.
•Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in
an extremely humid environment may cause
condensation inside the cabinet.
The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this
unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby
mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a
very small quantity of power.
CAUTION FOR CARRYING THE UNIT
Before carrying the unit, first remove all discs from
the unit, press STANDBY/ON to turn the unit off,
then disconnect the AC power plug from the wall
outlet.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR (General model
only)
The voltage selector (on the rear panel of this unit)
must be correctly set to the voltage used locally
before making any connection to the AC power
supply.
FREQUENCY STEP switch <General
model only>
Because the interstation frequency spacing differs
in different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP
switch (located on the rear panel) 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
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the
cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personel only.
For Canadian Customers
To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to
wide slot and fully insert.

GETTING STARTED
The remote control
This remote control controls a whole system: not only
RX-E100 but also CDX-E100. Moreover, a cassette deck
(KX-E100) and MD recorder (MDX-E100) that level up
your system can be operated by it. Operating buttons for
each unit are explained on the pages below:
• Use only AAA, UM-4, R03 batteries for replacement.
• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside
the battery compartment.)
• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for
an extended period of time.
• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching
the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing,
etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before
installing new batteries.

Notes
• There should be no large obstacles between the remote control
and the main unit.
• If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong
lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.),
it might cause the remote control not to work correctly. In this
case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.
