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 decks record/playback head assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or damage the heads mirror-smooth finish, it may change the magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a deterioration in reproduction performance quality.
Although the tape decks 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.

Setting up the speakers
m 4 channel 5 speaker configuration
This system employs a 5 speaker configuration: 2 front speakers, 2 rear paralleled speakers and a center speaker. The front speakers are used for outputting main source sound. The rear speakers are for effect and surround sounds when the sound field program PRO LOGIC or HALL is selected. The center speaker is for center sounds (dialog etc.) when the sound field program PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO is selected.
m Placing the speakers
Front speakers: On both sides of the TV and almost the same height as the TV.
Center speaker: Precisely between the front speakers. Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. six feet) up from the floor.
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so (separate purchase) critical because low bass tones are not
highly directional.
m Mounting the center speaker
Place the center speaker on the TV, on the floor under the TV or in the TV rack so that it is stabilized. When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling down, put the provided pads at four points on bottom of the speaker.

Preparations and connections
m Mounting the rear speakers Mount the rear speakers on a shelf, rack or on the floor, or hang them on the wall.
To mount the rear speakers on the wall by using commercially available speaker stands
The provided mounting bracket has 1 pair of screw holes (at an interval of 60 mm). They are available for mounting the speaker on a speaker stand. * Those screw holes can be used with M4 screws only.
Note It is recommended that you connect the speaker cords to the speakers terminals before attaching the bracket to the speaker.
1 Attach the bracket to the bottom of the speaker by using the provided screw so that the convex part of the bracket fits in the grooved part of the speaker as figured left.
2 Mount the speaker on the speaker stand by using the screw holes on the bracket.
To mount the rear speakers on the wall without using any bracket or stand
If desired, you can hang the speaker on the protruding screws on the wall without using the bracket.
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.

Caution Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
When connecting a subwoofer (separate purchase) You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass frequencies. When connecting a subwoofer to this system, connect the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal of this system to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer. * Ordinary subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, are designed so that the amplifier and
subwoofer are in the same unit. * The SUBWOOFER OUT terminal outputs low frequencies from the left front, center and right front channels.
(The cut-off frequency of this terminal is 200 Hz.)
m Connecting speakers Connect the speakers to the corresponding speaker terminals on the rear of the main unit respectively by using the speaker cords. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cords is correct, that is the + and markings are observed. If these cords are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
On the main unit Red: positive (+) Black: negative ()

Preparations and connections
m Connecting external components This system can be connected with external audio and video components. Make connections between this system and the components using RCA pin plug connector cables correctly, that is to say L (left) to L and R (right) to R. Also, refer to the owners manual for the component to be connected to this system. * A digital-to-digital recording is possible from a CD played on
the built-in CD player to an MD (or tape) on an external MD recorder (or DAT) by connecting the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) terminal on the rear of the main unit to the MD recorder (or DAT).
m 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 loop antenna
Connect the AM loop antenna wires to the corresponding terminals. Position the AM loop antenna for optimum reception.
Notes When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of
the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections (from the right terminal to the left one, and vice versa).
The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
Using an external antenna
Use an external FM antenna instead of an indoor FM antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.
Use an external AM antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.
