• Be sure that the left (“L”) and right (“R”) LINE OUT  
terminals are connected to the corresponding (left and  
right) terminals of the amplifier or other component.  
• Connect the “LINE OUT” terminals to the “CD” (or “AUX”)  
terminals of the amplifier. If the amplifier does not have  
such terminals, use the “TAPE PB” terminals. For  
additional details concerning these connections, refer to

of the deck can be prevented by pressing the auto-SPACE  
button to insert spaces of about 4 seconds between the tracks  
before recording.

Notes  
• Not all discs have index numbers. The index system is a  
method for sub-dividing tracks into smaller divisions (for  
example, the movements within classical symphonies) for  
easier location of those parts. The liner notes with the disc  
usually tell if such index numbers are included.  
• If an index number is selected that is higher than any index  
number on that disc, play will start from the last index  
number point on the disc.  
• For some discs, play may begin slightly prior to the actual  
designated index point.  
• If the disc has no encoded index points, play will begin from  
the start of the selected track.

TRACK PROGRAMMING FOR RECORDING TO TAPE  
The unit can automatically program tracks considering the tape’s total time. This convenient feature can help you to program tracks  
so that they fit onto the tape with the least amount of unrecorded space remaining at the end of each side (A and B) of the tape.  
L Automatic tape-programming  
The unit can automatically program tracks on a disc in their  
original order.

This recording method requires a YAMAHA tape deck compatible with this function. (Refer to the tape deck’s operation manual to  
know whether it is compatible or not.)  
* This unit and the tape deck must be placed near each other so that both can receive the signals from this unit’s remote control  
transmitter.

Within approximately  
6 m (19.7 feet)  
Battery replacement  
If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used  
closer to the main unit than usual, the batteries are weak.  
Replace both batteries with new ones.  
Notes  
Notes  
• Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.  
• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside  
the battery compartment.)  
• There should be no large obstacles between the remote  
control transmitter and the main unit.  
• If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong  
lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.),  
it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work  
correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct  
lighting.  
• Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not  
be used for an extended period of time.  
• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching  
the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing,  
etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before  
installing new batteries.  
NOTES ABOUT HANDLING COMPACT DISCS  
• This compact disc player is designed only for playing  
compact discs bearing the mark. Never attempt to load  
any other type of disc into the unit.  
• Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust or  
fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should  
be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe  
with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.  
The unit will also play 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.  
To remove a disc from its storage case, open the case and  
then press down at the center; with a finger through the  
center hole and the outer edges held as shown in the  
illustration, lift the disc out carefully.  
• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of  
disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any  
other chemical-based liquid, because such substances might  
irreparably damage the disc’s surface.  
• Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not  
scratched.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or  
high humidity for a long period of time, because these might  
warp or otherwise damage the disc.  
No!  
• Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play, but  
damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled  
can adversely affect the disc’s play.  
To play a 8-cm (3-inch) CD  
Place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put a  
normal (12-cm/5-inch) CD on top of a 8-cm CD.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple  
measures suggested. If it cannot be corrected, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and  
contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help.  
SYMPTOM  
PROBABLE CAUSE  
REMEDY  
The player does not switch ON when  
the POWER switch is pressed.  
The power cord is not connected or not  
completely connected.  
Securely connect the power cord.  
It happens that this unit does not  
work normally.  
There is an influence of strong external  
noise (lightning, excessive static  
electricity, etc.) or a misoperation was  
performed while using this unit.  
Turn this unit power off and disconnect  
the AC power from the AC outlet. After  
about 30 seconds have passed, connect

unit ON before trying to play a disc.  
The disc has been loaded upside down.  
The disc is dirty.  
Reload the disc with the label side up.  
Clean the disc.  
Play is delayed, or begins at the  
wrong place.  
The disc may be scratched or damaged.  
Check the disc carefully; replace it if  
necessary.  
No sound.  
Improper output cable connections.
