We WantYou Listening For A Lifetime  
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.

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.  
13. Do not connect any audio equipment to the AC outlet  
on the rear panel if the equipment requires more power  
than the outlet is rated to provide.  
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.  
14. VOLTAGE SELECTOR  
(China and General models 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 110/120/220/240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.  
3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the  
set, contact your dealer.  
When this unit is turned off by pressing the STANDBY/ON  
switch on the front panel or the remote control, the  
STANDBY indicator on the front panel lights up. This state  
is called the standby mode. In this mode, this unit is  
designed to consume a small amount of power. This  
unit’s power supply is completely cut off from the AC line  
only when the POWER switch on the front panel is set in  
the OFF position or the AC power cord is disconnected.  
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  
equipments. Never pull the wires themselves.  
5. The openings on the unit cover assure proper  
ventilation of the unit. If these openings are  
obstructed, the temperature inside the unit will rise  
rapidly; therefore, avoid placing objects against these  
openings. Install the unit in a well-ventilated area to  
prevent fire or damage.  
For Canadian Customers  
To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to  
<Europe, U.K. and China models only>  
Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind, 20  
cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel of the  
unit to prevent fire or damage.  
wide slot and fully insert.  
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian  
ICES-003.  
6. The voltage used must be the same as that specified  
on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than  
specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other  
accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for  
any damage resulting from use of this unit with a  
voltage other than specified.  
WARNING  
Do not change the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch  
setting while the power to this unit is on, otherwise  
this unit may be damaged.  
If this unit fails to turn on when the POWER switch is  
pressed:  
The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be set to  
either end. If so, set the switch to either end when this  
unit’s power supply is completely cut off.  
7. Always set the VOLUME control to “ ” before starting  
the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually  
to an appropriate level after the play has been started.  
8. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents  
as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry  
cloth.

NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL  
Battery installation  
Remote control operation range  
Since the remote control will be used for many of this unit’s  
control operations, you should begin by installing the  
supplied batteries.  
1. Turn the remote control over and remove the battery  
compartment cover by sliding it in the direction of the  
arrow.  
2. Insert the batteries (AA, R6, UM-3 type) according to the  
polarity markings on the inside of the battery  
compartment.

Notes  
The area between the remote control and the main unit  
must be clear of large obstacles.  
Battery replacement  
If you notice that the remote control must be used closer to  
the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both  
batteries with new ones.  
Do not expose the remote control sensor to strong  
lighting, in particular, an inverter type fluorescent lamp;  
otherwise, the remote control may not work properly. If  
necessary, position the main unit away from direct  
lighting.  
Notes  
Use AA, R6, UM-3 batteries.  
Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration  
inside the battery compartment.)  
Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for  
an extended period of time.  
If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid  
touching the leaked material and contact with clothing,  
etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before  
installing new batteries.

Connecting speakers  
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this  
unit. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to  
either the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.  
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with  
the wire with the proper gauge (keep it as short as  
possible). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be  
heard from the speakers. Make sure that the + and –  
polarity markings of the speaker wires are observed and set  
correctly. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be  
unnatural and lack bass.  
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the  
rear of this unit.  
Caution  
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or  
any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit  
or the speakers, or both.

The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this  
unit’s POWER or STANDBY/ON switch. These outlets will  
supply power to any connected unit whenever this unit is  
turned on.  
Notes  
When you do not use the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals,  
never remove the jumper pins from these terminals. If  
removed, no sound will be outputted from this unit.  
When you use this unit with an external unit connected to  
the PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals, make sure that the  
CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch and the PURE DIRECT  
switch on the front panel are turned off.  
The maximum power (total power consumption of  
components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC  
OUTLET(S) is 100W.  
When you use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the  
output terminals of an external control amplifier etc. to  
this unit’s MAIN IN terminals. In this case, this unit’s  
controls will not function except the PHONES jack and  
the SPEAKERS switches. Use the controls on the  
external control amplifier to make volume adjustment etc.

Using the CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch  
You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your CD or  
DVD player by pressing this switch. The indicator above it  
lights up. With this function on, input signals from the CD or  
DVD player are sent directly to the built-in special amplifier  
for CD/DVD bypassing the INPUT selector, the BASS,  
TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS controls and the PRE  
OUT/MAIN IN terminals, and then sent to the power  
amplifier. This signal routing reproduces the purest sound  
eliminating any alterations to the CD or DVD signals.  
Adjusting the continuously variable  
LOUDNESS control  
This control compensates for the human ears’ loss of  
sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.  
This control is adjustable to retain full tonal range at any  
volume level.

switches are on, only the CD/DVD DIRECT AMP switch  
will function.  
WARNING

For this reason, be sure to press the CD/DVD DIRECT  
AMP switch or PURE DIRECT switch after lowering the  
volume or after checking that the LOUDNESS control is  
properly set.

listening to a source with headphones that are connected  
to an externally connected unit such as the CD player,  
tape deck, etc.  
If any of the external units connected to this unit is turned  
off, sound may be distorted when playing a source on  
another unit that is also connected to this unit.
