Caution: Read this before operating your unit
1To ensure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
2Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from
windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust,
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers,
motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not
expose to rain and water.
3Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may overheat,
possibly causing damage.
4Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into
the set, contact your dealer.
5Do not place records or other objects on top of the unit;
this will block the ventilation holes, cause the internal
temperature to rise and may result in a failure.
6Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When
moving the set, first turn the unit off. Then gently
disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to
other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.
7Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents;
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
8To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord
and remove the antenna cable during an electrical
storm.
9When not planning to use this unit for long periods of
time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug
from the wall outlet.
10 Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on
common operating errors before concluding that your
unit is faulty.
YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion – and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing. Since hearing damage from loud sounds is
often undetectable until it is too late, YAMAHA
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you to
avoid prolonged exposure from excessive
volume levels.

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut 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.
How to Connect:
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
Unscrew the knob.
Insert the bare wire.
Tighten the knob and
secure the wire.
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.
If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either
the SPEAKERS A or Bterminals.
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
Banana Plug connections are also possible (except for
Scandinavian models). Simply insert the Banana Plug
connector into the corresponding terminal.
*When connecting Banana Plugs to this unit’s SPEAKERS
terminals, be sure to tighten the terminal knobs to make
contact securely before connections.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS
REMOTE CONTROL (PRE AMP) connector
If you have the YAMAHA pre-amplifier CX-1 or CX-2, connect
this connector to the REMOTE CONTROL (POWER AMP)
connector of the pre-amplifier by using the cable provided with
the pre-amplifier. By this connection, the power of this unit is
controlled by the pre-amplifier’s POWER switch or the POWER
key of the remote control transmitter provided with the pre-
amplifier.
After the connection is completed, keep the POWER switch of
this unit pressed inward (to the ON position).
Note
If you will not connect the REMOTE CONTROL connectors of
this unit and the pre-amplifier, do not connect the cable to
either connector. Otherwise, this unit will not function normally.
Caution
When inserting the stripped ends of the speaker wires
as shown above, make sure at least 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)
of insulation is inside the wire holders (i.e. no exposed
wire is visible) and no loose conductor wire strands
are protruding after connection. If wires touch each
other or they touch the metal parts of this unit, this
unit and/or speakers could be damaged. To prevent
speaker wires from coming loose, make sure wire
holders are firmly screwed in.

POWER switch/indicator (POWER)
Press this switch to switch ON the power. The indicator will
illuminate while the power is ON.
Press the switch again to switch OFF the power.
Note the following cautions.
Before switching ON the power, be sure to set the volume
control of the pre-amplifier to the lowest setting in order to
avoid damage to the speakers.
The speaker-protection circuit functions to mute speaker
sound reproduction for a few seconds after the power is
switched ON.
SPEAKERS switches
Because one or two speaker systems can be connected to this
unit, these switches allow you to select speaker system A or B,
or both at once.
Input level controls (LEVEL)
These controls adjust the level of signals input to this unit.
Normally set these controls to the “10” (maximum) position,
and adjust the whole sound output level with the VOLUME
control of the pre-amplifier. However, if your speakers’
permissible music input power is not high enough or sounds
from the speakers are distorted, turn these controls
counterclockwise to decrease the level.
