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 equipment. Never pull the wires themselves.

5. The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of the unit.

If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the
cabinet will rise rapidly. It may not only damage the unit, but also
cause fire. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these
openings, and install the unit where the flow of air through the
ventilation openings could not be impeded, allowing a space of at
least 10 cm above the top panel of the unit.

6. Always set the VOLUME control to “0” before starting the audio

source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level
after playback has been started.

7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might

damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

8. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding

common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below.
Serial No.:
The serial number is located on the rear of the unit.

Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS unit TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power
source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the apparatus itself is turned off.

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 wire in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:

9. When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie.,

vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

10.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and

disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

11.Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so that

the grounding or polarization of an appliance is not defeated.

12.AC outlet

Do not connect audio equipment to the AC outlet on the rear panel
if that equipment requires more power than the outlet is rated to
provide.

13.Voltage Selector (General Model only)

The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit must be set
for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC
main supply.
Voltages are 110/120/220/240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE

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.

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 power plug of this unit
from the AC outlet.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

●

Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure.

●

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal
strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience
poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

English

Connecting the AM loop antenna

* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
* The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

GND terminal

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the
GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is
a metal stake driven into moist earth.

Outdoor AM antenna

Notes

●

●

Orient so that the best
reception is obtained.

When connecting the indoor
FM antenna, insert its
connector into the FM ANT
terminal firmly.
If you need an outdoor
FM antenna to improve
FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable
may be used. In locations troubled by electrical
interference, coaxial cable is preferable.

Before attempting to make any connections to or from this unit, be sure to first switch OFF the power to this unit and to any other
components to which connections are being made.

AUDIO CONNECTIONS

When making connections between this unit and other components, be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L
(left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each component to be connected to this unit.

* For a system connection with YAMAHA CDX-10 and KX-10 (or KX-W10), connections can be made easily by making sure to

connect the output (or input) terminals of each component to the same-numbered terminals of this unit.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut to be as short as possible. If the
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the
speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is
correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires
are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do
not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could
damage this unit and/or speakers.

ABOUT THE ACCESSOR Y TERMINALS

AC OUTLET(S) (SWITCHED)

(Europe and General models)...........2 SWITCHED OUTLETS

(U.K. model) ........................................1 SWITCHED OUTLET

Use these to connect the power cords from your components
to this unit.
The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this
unit’s POWER switch or the provided remote control
transmitter’s POWER key. These outlets will supply power to
any component whenever this unit is turned on.
The maximum power (total power consumption of
components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC

OUTLET(S) is 100 watts.

<General model only

Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the
Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

>

GND terminal (For turntable use)

Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to this terminal
will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results
may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.
