Precautions: Read this before operating your system
English
■ 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 unit will rise rapidly.
Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings,
and install the main unit in a well-ventilated area to
prevent fire and 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 long periods 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 equipment.
Never pull the wire itself.
■ If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with this
system operation, move the main unit away from such an
appliance.
■ Do not attempt to clean this system 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 this
system 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 tape deck’s record/playback head
assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or damage the
head’s mirror-smooth 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 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 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 on this system 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 this system to
malfunction.
To eliminate condensation:
CD 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.
■ To prevent a malfunction of this system:
Do not use any non standard shaped disc (heart etc.)
•
available on the market, because it may damage this
system.
Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it,
•
because damage to this system may result.
This system is not disconnected from the AC power
source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
this system itself is turned off. This state is called the
standby mode.
In this state, this system is designed to consume a certain
level of power.
Note
Please check the copyright laws in your country to record
from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of
copyright material may infringe copyright laws.

Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as figured left,
and hang the holes of the speaker on the protruding screws.
* Make sure that the screws are caught by a narrow part of
the holes securely.
WARNING:
● Each of the rear speakers weighs 0.8 kg (1 lbs. 12 oz.).
Do not mount them on thin plywood or soft wall
surface material, as the screws may come out of the
flimsy surface, causing the speakers to fall down and
be damaged, or result in personal injury.
● Do not fasten the speakers to the wall with nails,
adhesives, or other unsound hardware. Long-term use
and vibrations may cause them to fall down.
● To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose
speaker cords, fix them to the wall.
● Select a proper position on the wall to mount the
speaker and the stand so that no one will hit his head
or forehead on the projections of them, resulting in
personal injury.

Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data
from being lost even if the AC supply lead is disconnected
from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary
power failure. If, however, the power is cut for more than
one week, the memory may be erased. If so, it can be
re-programmed by simply following the Preset tuning steps.
Notes
● The automatic preset tuning search will be performed
through all frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If the
number of received stations is less than 40, the search will
stop after searching all frequencies.
* Since FM stations are searched for first, there may be a
case that 40 preset stations are occupied by FM stations
only.
● With this function, only stations with sufficient signal
strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to
program is weak in signal strength, tune in to it with the
Manual tuning method (in monaural) and program it by
following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on
the previous page.
● You can replace a preset station with another FM or AM
station manually by simply following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on the previous page.

Sound field processor
The Sound Field Processor built into this system enables you to enjoy listening to a source with an ambience of actual concert hall
or three-dimensional acoustics. This system provides preset sound field programs shown below. You can enjoy an excellent sound
field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments.
This system also incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded
video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding sound field
program.
m Sound field programs
Program
This program is used for playing sources encoded with Dolby Surround.
PRO LOGIC
3 STEREO
YMERSION
HALL
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and
dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear
channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range.
This program is used for simplified play of Dolby Surround encoded sources. With this program, sound
effects are output from the left and right front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers.
YMERSION is Yamaha’s proprietary technology that enhances the spread of a normal stereo source
play sound, creating three-dimensional acoustics using only two speakers.
This program presents you with an ambience of actual concert hall by adding effects as sonic reflections
or reberverations that create sound environment of a hall. Sound effects are output from the front and
rear speakers. Orchestra and opera music is suited for this sound field.
