Precautions: Read this before operating your system

■ 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 main unit will rise rapidly. Avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the main unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent fire or 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 a long period 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 equipments. Never pull the wire itself.

■ If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with the

operation of this system, move the main unit away from such appliance.

■ Do not attempt to clean this system with chemical solvents as

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 electric 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 mirrorsmooth 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 of high

quality with outstanding reproduction characteristics, they can get 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 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 this system on with the volume control setting at high. Also avoid exposure 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:

• 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.

■ The carousel will turn when you open the disc tray by pressing

OPEN/CLOSE; therefore, make sure the carousel stopped

moving completely before you perform further operations such as placing or removing a disc from the disc tray. Otherwise, you may cause damage to your discs, or you might injure yourself.

Precautions: Read this before operating your system

NOTES ABOUT DISCS

To prevent a malfunction of this system:

• Do not use any nonstandard shaped disc

(heart etc.) available on the market because it might damage the system.

• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or

paste on it. If you use such a disc, a disc may get stuck in the system, or damage to the system may result.

Notes about handling discs

• Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not scratched.

• Discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc’s play.

• Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball-point pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and may adversely affect the disc’s play.

English

• Discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.

• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity for a long period of time because these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.

No!

• Do not warp discs.

• When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the system and store in an appropriate case.

• When removing or storing a disc, be careful not to scratch the playing surface.

To play an 8-cm CD
