the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides  
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast  
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to  
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,  
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to  
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding  
electrode.

PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT  
This system is designed for using the provided  
Active Servo Processing Speaker System for front  
speakers. Therefore, do not attempt to connect  
other conventional speakers to the FRONT  
SPEAKERS terminals of this system.  
Although the cassette deck’s record/playback heads  
used in this unit 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.  
Choose the installation location of this unit carefully.  
Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source  
of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and  
excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away  
from sources of hum such as transformers and  
electric motors.  
The voltage to be used must be the same as that  
specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher  
voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and  
may result in a fire or other type of accident causing  
damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for  
any damage resulting from use of this unit with a  
voltage other than that which is specified.  
Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may  
overheat, possibly causing damage.  
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the  
set, contact your dealer.  
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 the unit  
with the volume control setting at high, and to  
continuous high levels of sound.  
Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before  
starting an audio source play: increase the volume  
gradually to an appropriate level after play has  
started.  
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 wire itself.  
Sudden temperature changes and storage or  
operation in an extremely humid environment may  
cause condensation inside the cabinet.  
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.  
To eliminate condensation:  
Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical  
solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean,  
dry cloth.  
CD pickup  
Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until  
normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).  
Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section  
regarding common operating errors before  
concluding that the unit is faulty.  
Tape head  
Leave the power on with no tape in the unit until  
normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).  
Note  
To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC  
power plug and the antenna cable when there is an  
electrical storm.  
If condensation forms on the tape head, foreign  
matter may accumulate during use.  
Remote control  
Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window  
with a soft cloth before operating the unit.  
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 cassette deck’s  
record/playback head assembly in this unit. Doing so  
may not only scratch or damage the head’s mirror-  
smooth finish, it may change the magnetic  
characteristics of the heads, causing a deterioration  
in reproduction performance quality.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround  
This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar  
to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie  
theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder,  
you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby  
Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro  
Logic employs a four channel five speaker system. The Pro  
Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four  
levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel  
(used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels  
(used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient  
noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even  
less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from  
the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo  
imaging.  
Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-  
recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable  
broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby  
Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder  
decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound  
effects.  
In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance  
control. This always assures you the best performance  
without manual adjustment.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS  
This system is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration: front speakers, rear speakers and a  
center speaker. You may omit the center speaker, if for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker. (Refer to the “4-  
Speaker Configuration” shown below.)  
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and  
surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).  
Speaker configuration  
(1)  
(1) 5-Speaker Configuration  
Front L  
Center  
Front R  
This configuration is the most effective and recommended  
one. In this configuration, the center speaker is  
necessary as well as the rear speakers. If the sound field  
program DOLBY PRO LOGIC or DOLBY 3 STEREO is  
selected, conversations will be output from the center  
speaker and the ambience will be excellent.  
Dialogue  
Set the center channel mode to the “NORMAL”  
position. (For details, refer to page 15.)  
Surrounnd sound  
Rear R  
Rear L  
(2) 4-Speaker Configuration  
(2)  
The center speaker is not used in this configuration. If the  
sound field program DOLBY PRO LOGIC is selected, the  
center sound is output from the left and the right front  
speakers, although the program DOLBY 3 STEREO is  
useless in this configuration. However, the sound effect  
of other programs can be the same as that of the 5-  
speaker configuration.

SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT  
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance  
between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in  
test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the  
sound output level heard at the listening position will be the  
same from each speaker. This is important for the best  
performance of the built-in Doiby Pro Logic surround decoder.  
The adjustment of each speaker output level should be  
done at your listening position with the remote control  
transmitter. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.

Once you have completed these adjustments, you can

the VOLUME control (or the VOLUME keys on the remote  
control transmitter) only.  
In step 6, if the center channel mode is in the “PHANTOM”  
position, the sound output level of the center speaker  
cannot be adjusted. This is because in this mode, the  
center sound is automatically output from the left and right  
front speakers.

COMPACT DISC PLAYER OPERATION  
Direct operation  
To interrupt playback  
When the power is off (in the standby mode), pressing the  
CD input selector button or the DISC selector (1, 2 or 3)  
button will turn the power on and start CD playback  
automatically.  
When the power is on, even if an input source other than CD  
player is selected, pressing a DISC selector button or closing  
the disc table by pushing the front edge of the disc table  
gently will start playback directly. In this case, if the tape  
deck is playing back a tape, it will be stopped automatically.  
* These ways of playback can also be used to close the disc  
table. If the table is closed in these ways, playback will  
begin automatically, however, the display will not show the  
total number of tracks and the total playing time of the disc  
to be played back.  
1 Press the play/pause  
/
button.  
*
The “ ” indicator will flash.  
2 Press the play/pause

To stop playback  
Press the stop  
button.  
To switch the unit off after use  
Turn the unit off by pressing the POWER switch. (The  
indicators will go off except for the current time display.)  
PLAYXCHANGE  
During playback, you can open the disc table by pressing the  
DISC CHANGE button without interrupting playback.  
However, in this case, pressing the DISC SKIP button or a  
DISC selector button has no effect.  
Precautions  
If TV or radio interference occurs during CD player  
operation, move the unit away from the TV or radio.  
Subjecting the unit to shock or vibration can cause  
mistracking.  
Playing back some compact discs at high volume can  
cause mistracking. In this case, listen at lower volume.  
Do not pull open the disc table forcibly with your hands.  
Do not push the disc table while it is moving.  
If the power fails while the table is open, wait until the  
power supply returns or gently push the table manually to  
close it.  
The temperature range for playing back compact discs is  
recommended to be 5°C (41°F) – 35°C (95°F).  
Direct-selection playback  
By using the track number input buttons on the remote  
control transmitter, any track you wish to listen to can be  
played back directly.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS U.K. and Europe models only  
<
>
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system  
gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries.  
Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of  
data in addition to the normal radio signal.  
RDS data contains various information, such as PI (Program  
Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program  
Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), etc.  
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.  
* This unit utilizes PS, PTY, RT and CT to receive RDS  
broadcast stations.  
Displaying RDS data  
This unit can be turned into the following four modes to  
display RDS data.  
RT (Radio Text) mode:  
Displays information about the program (such as title of the  
song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station now being  
received.  
PS (Program Service name) mode:  
Displays the name of the RDS station  
now being received instead of the  
frequency.  
BBC R3  
CT (Clock Time) mode:  
Displays current time. This signal comes from the RDS station  
now being received. Time of the built-in clock can be  
automatically corrected on the basis of this signal.  
PTY (Program Type) mode:  
Displays the type of the program on the RDS station now  
being received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS  
stations as follows.  
News:  
Varied:  
NEWS  
VARIED  
Short accounts of facts, events and publicly  
expressed views, reportage and actuality.  
Used for mainly speech-based programs  
usually of light-entertainment nature, not  
covered by above categories. Examples  
are: quizzes, panel games, personality  
interviews, comedy and satire.  
Current affairs:  
AFFAIRS  
Topical program expanding or enlarging  
upon the news, generally in different  
presentation style or concept, including  
documentary debate, or analysis  
Pop:  
POP M  
Commercial music, which would generally  
be considered to be of current popular  
appeal, often featuring in current or recent  
record sales charts.  
Information:  
Program whose purpose is to impart advice  
in the widest sense, including  
INFO  
meteorological reports and forecasts,  
consumer affairs, medical help, etc.  
Rock:

to describe music considered to be “easy-  
listening”, as opposed to Pop, Rock or  
Classical. Music in this category is often but  
not always, vocal, and usually of short  
duration (<5 min.)  
Education:  
Program intended primarily to educate, of  
which the formal element is fundamental.  
EDUCATE  
Drama:  
All radio plays and serials.  
DRAMA  
Light classics:

The frequency of the station being received is  
displayed.  
Changing the RDS modes  
When an RDS station is received, by pressing the FREQ  
PS/PTY/RT/CT selector button once or more, you can  
change the display mode among the RDS modes employed  
by the received station in the order shown below. (The RDS  
mode not employed by the station cannot be selected.)  
* If the station is not an RDS station, pressing the FREQ  
PS/PTY/RT/CT selector button displays “NO RDS” on the  
display, and then it returns to the frequency display mode.  
* When an RDS station is received, the display is  
automatically turned into the PS mode. Do not press the  
FREQ PS/PTY/RT/CT selector button until the display is  
turned into the PS mode. If the button is pressed before  
the display mode is changed, it may occur that “NO PS”  
appears on the display. This is because the unit has not  
received all of the RDS data on the station yet.  
PS (Program Service name) mode  
The name of the station being received is displayed  
using characters selected from among 64 Roman  
Alphabets including umlaut sign. If other characters  
are used on the PS data, they are displayed with  
underbars.  
“PS WAIT” may flash while the unit is receiving the  
data.  
If the station does not employ the PS data service,  
“NO PS” lights up on the display for about 2 seconds  
and then returns to frequency display mode.  
PTY (Program Type) mode  
The type of the program on the station being received  
is displayed. If the RDS station does not employ the  
PTY data service, “NO PTY” lights up on the display  
for about 2 seconds and then returns to frequency  
display mode.  
FREQ PS/PTY/RT/CT  
If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the  
PS mode.  
In this mode, you can make this unit search for a  
station which is broadcasting a program of your  
desired program type. For details, refer to the next

Notes  
There may be a case that RDS data reception is not  
possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press the  
AUTO/MAN’L button so that “AUTO” goes off from the  
display. Though the reception mode is changed to  
monaural by this operation, when you change the display to  
an RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.  
RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the  
received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT  
(Radio Text mode) needs much data to be received, so it  
may occur that RT mode cannot be displayed even if other  
RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.  
If the signal strength gets weakened by external  
interference during receiving an RDS station, the RDS data  
service may be cut off suddenly and turn into the frequency  
display mode.

TAPE DECK OPERATION  
General information  
Do not use C-120 tapes or poor-quality tapes, since they  
can cause malfunctions.  
Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment,  
tighten the tape slack with a pen or pencil.  
Tapes have removable tabs which prevent accidental  
recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab  
on the top left protects the side facing you from erasure.  
Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record  
again.  
This deck is a Double Cassette Deck with Automatic  
Reverse Function.  
Deck 1: Playback only.  
Deck 2: Playback or recording.  
This deck features an auto tape selector. Just load the  
tape, and the tape formula being used will be sensed  
automatically.  
This unit can play back metal tapes as well as normal or  
chrome tapes, however recording cannot be done on  
metal tapes with good sound quality.  
When covering erasure prevention tab holes, do not cover  
the chrome and metal detection holes. Otherwise, the  
deck will treat tape as normal tape.  
Detection hole  
Tab  
Do not press the EJECT button during playback or  
recording.  
Automatic deck selecting function  
If you load only one tape into the deck 1 or deck 2 cassette  
compartment, it is automatically selected and set ready for a  
playback.  
Dolby B Type Noise Reduction  
Dolby noise reduction is an extremely effective method of  
reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. This unit  
incorporates Dolby B type noise reduction system that is the  
most popular one and almost of commercially available  
music tapes are recorded with the Dolby B NR.  
Dolby B NR has a noise reduction effect of about 10 dB in  
the high frequency range.  
Dolby noise reduction is a 2 part process that acts both on  
recording and playback; be sure that the same noise  
reduction is used on recording and playback.  
Notes  
About the tape counter  
This unit is equipped with a tape counter that is useful for  
searching for and locating a desired point on tape. The tape  
counter for the tape 1 (or 2) currently selected is shown on  
the display.  
Pressing the stop  
button when the unit is stopped will  
reset the tape counter to “0000”.  
Tapes encoded with Dolby NR system should be decoded  
with the same Dolby NR system. Nevertheless, a Dolby  
encoded tape can be played back without decoding (and  
vice versa) with no harm to the recorded sound.  
Noise in the source material cannot be reduced with the  
Dolby NR system.

USING SOUND FIELD PROCESSOR  
The Sound Field Processor built into this system presents you with the ambience of an actual concert hall etc. by adding effects as  
sonic reflections or reberverations that create the sound environment of a hall etc. This system provides preset sound field  
programs shown below. You can enjoy an excellent audio sound field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments.  
This system incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded  
video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding sound field  
program.

Brief Overview of Sound Field Programs  
PROGRAM  
FEATURE  
This program is used for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround.  
Sounds are reproduced as movie creaters designed by using five speakers. You can experience the  
dramatic realism and impact of a movie theater.  
PRO LOGIC  
This program is effective not only for playback of sources encoded with Dolby Surround, but also for  
sources not encoded with Dolby Surround or TV programs with 2-channel stereo sound. With this  
program, 2-channel stereo sound is converted into 3-channels (left front, center and right front), so the  
dialogs are emphasized on the center position by the use of the center speaker. As no sound is output  
from the rear speakers, this program is also effective in a simple Audio/Video system without rear  
speakers.  
3 STEREO  
In this program, the center will appear to be deep behind the front speakers, creating an expansive  
large hall ambience. Orchestra and opera music are suited for this sound field.  
HALL  
This program simulates the sound environment of a big hall with long reverberation time and many  
reflections of high frequencies.  
ARENA  
These programs are available on Australia, China, Singapore and General models only.

MAINTENANCE  
Internal care  
Deck 1  
Dirty heads, capstans and pinch rollers can cause poor  
sound and tape jams.  
Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with  
commercially available head/pinch roller cleaner or  
isopropyl alcohol, or with a commercially available  
cleaning tape.  
After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may  
become magnetized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize  
these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time  
by using a commercially available tape head  
demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer’s instructions  
carefully before use.
