PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

■This system is equipped with the newly developed Active Servo Processing Speaker System. It is not designed for use with conventional speakers. Therefore, do not attempt to connect other speakers than the provided speaker system.

■Choose the installation location of this unit 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 unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.

■Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer.

■Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before starting the audio source: increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.

■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 wire itself.

■Do not attempt to clean the unit 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 the unit 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 cassette deck’s record/playback head assembly in this unit. 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 cassette deck’s record/playback heads used in this unit 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 unit. Using this product 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.

■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 the unit 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 the unit to malfunction. To eliminate condensation:

•CD pickup

Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).

•Tape head

Leave the power on with no cassette in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).

Note

If condensation forms on the tape head, foreign matter may accumulate during use.

•Remote control

Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below.

REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER

Loading the batteries for the remote control transmitter

(See figure 6 on page 9.)

1 Remove the battery compartment cover. (Slide the cover in the direction of the arrow.)

2 Insert 2 “AA” size batteries (UM/SUM-3, R6, HP-7 or equivalent) into the battery compartment.

* Installing the batteries improperly may cause failure.

3 Replace the battery compartment cover.

Precautions for battery use

•Insert the batteries according to the direction indicated in the battery compartment.

•Replace all batteries with new ones at the same time.

•Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the unit is not in use for long periods.

•Don’t mix normal batteries with rechargeable batteries.

Proper use of the remote control transmitter

(See figure 7 on page 9.)

Aim (within the range of 60° with no obstacles) the remote control transmitter at the remote control sensor and operate as shown.

Notes concerning use

•Replace the batteries if control distance decreases or operation becomes unstable.

•Periodically clean the transmitter window on the remote control transmitter and the sensor on the main unit with a soft cloth.

•Exposing the sensor on the main unit to strong light (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.) may interfere with operation. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

•Keep the remote control transmitter away from moisture, excessive heat, shock and vibrations.

•The remote control transmitter’s usable range is within 0.2m (8”) and 6m (20’) away from the sensor.

REMOVING THE FRONT GRILLE

(See figure 8 on page 9.)

The front grille is fastened to the enclosure at four points, and can be removed if desired. To remove the grille, first hold the bottom of the grille and unfasten the lower part of the grille by pulling it gently, and then hold both sides of the grille and slowly pull straight away from the speaker. To reattach, line up the four pegs on the inside surface of the grille with the four corresponding holes on the speaker and push gently.

Note

When the grille is removed, take care not to touch the speaker units with your hands or to exert excessive force with tools.

LISTENING WITH HEADPHONES

(See figure 9 on page 9.)

•Be sure that your headphones have a 3.5 mm (1/8”) diameter plug and are between 16 ohms and 50 ohms impedance. Recommended impedance is 32 ohms.

•When headphones are connected, the speakers are defeated automatically. Adjust the VOLUME control for desired volume.

Antenna connection

(1) Supplied FM antenna

Connect the FM antenna wire to the corresponding terminal and direct the FM antenna wire to the direction where the strongest signal can be received.

(2) Supplied AM (MW/LW) loop antenna

Connect the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna wires to the corresponding terminals. Position the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna for optimum reception. Place the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna on a shelf etc., or install it on the rack or wall with screws (not supplied).

Notes

•When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections (right to left).

•Do not place the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna on the unit. It will result in noise generation, since the unit is equipped with digital electronics. Place the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna away from the unit.

(3) External FM antenna

Use an external FM antenna instead of an indoor FM antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.

(4) External AM (MW/LW) antenna

Use an external AM (MW/LW) antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.

Note

When using an external AM (MW/LW) antenna, be sure to keep the wire of the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna connected.

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 supply lead of this unit from the AC outlet.

CONNECTIONS

Speaker connection

(See figure 0 on page 9.)

Connect each speaker wire to the SPEAKERS terminals.

Cautions

•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the power amplifier and/or speakers.

•When connecting the speakers to the unit, be sure to connect the speaker wires properly. Do not make a mistake from the right channel to the left channel and from the plus (+) terminal to the minus (–) terminal.

•Do not connect these SPEAKERS terminals to speakers other than the provided speaker system NX-GX50.

Connecting the AC supply lead

(See figure A on page 10.)

•After connecting the speakers, plug the AC supply lead into a convenient AC outlet.

•Unplug the AC supply lead from the AC outlet if the unit is not to be used for a long period of time.

TURNING THE POWER ON/OFF TO THIS SYSTEM

(See figure B on page 10.)

If the AC supply lead is connected to the AC outlet, this system can be turned ON and OFF (STANDBY mode) by pressing the POWER switch on the front panel of the main unit or the POWER switch on the remote control transmitter.

Automatic power-off function

The power of this system will be automatically turned off if there is no operation on the control parts of this system, no illumination on the graphic equalizer indicators and no playback of CD or tape for about 30 minutes.

STANDBY mode

While the power is on, pressing the POWER switch (or the POWER switch on the remote control transmitter) switches the system to the STANDBY mode. (In this mode, the display shows only the time.) In this mode, main voltage is still present inside the system. If you want to switch off the system completely, disconnect the AC power plug from the AC outlet.

SETTING THE CLOCK

(See figure C on page 10.)

1 While the power is on, press the DISPLAY button to display the time. If the power is off, you can proceed to the next step.

2 While holding the TIME ADJ button pressed, press the HOUR button and set the hour.

*Press the HOUR button once to advance the time by 1 hour. Press and hold to advance continuously.

*To reverse the hour, press the button instead of the HOUR button.

3 While holding the TIME ADJ button pressed, press the MIN button and set the minute.

*Press the MIN button once to advance the time by 1 minute. Press and hold to advance continuously.

*The hour setting will not advance even if minute is advanced from “59” to “00”.

*To reverse the minute, press the button instead of the MIN button.

Europe, U.K., Australia and Singapore models use a 24hour display. U.S.A. and Canada models use a 12-hour display shown by “AM (PM) 00:00”. For General model, either the 24-hour display or the 12-hour display is selected depending on the setting of the FREQUENCY STEP switch on the rear panel, so you cannot select a desired type freely.

In the event of a power failure or when the AC supply lead is disconnected.

The time display will go out, however, the clock will function for about 5 minutes without power supply. So you do not have to reset the time if the AC power supply is resumed within about 5 minutes.

When the AC power supply is resumed after more than 5 minutes pass without power supply, the time display will flash on and off to indicate that the time must be reset.
