If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your local dealer. 4. When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet. 5. To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm. 6. When disconnecting the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug; never pull the cord itself. 7. Do not use force when operating switches and other controls. IMPORTANT Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below. Model: Serial No.: The serial number is located on the rear of the unit. Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. For U.K. customers If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below. Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet. 8. When moving the unit, be sure to first disconnect the power plug and disconnect all wires connected from the unit to other equipment. 9. Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical solvents, because this may damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. 10. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section of this manual for advice on common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty. 11. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power. Special Instructions for U.K. Model IMPORTANT THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE: Blue: NEUTRAL Brown: LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug. 3  CONNECTIONS Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections are completed. ANTENNA CONNECTIONS ● ● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement. Outdoor FM antenna Outdoor AM antenna Indoor FM antenna (included) FM ANT GND AM loop antenna (included) AM ANT 75Ω UNBAL. 75-ohm antenna adapter 300-ohm feeder 75-ohm coaxial cable 4 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter Ground  English Connecting the indoor FM antenna Connecting the AM loop antenna 1 2 3 2 1 3 Orient so that the best reception is obtained. * If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit. * The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit. m Optional outdoor FM antenna Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna. The choice of the feeder cable is also important. Flat ribbonshaped twin-lead cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as feeder cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with that type of cable. 300-ohm feeder cable 75-ohm coaxial cable m Optional outdoor AM antenna In steel buildings or at a great distance from the transmitter, it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna. * Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a 75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections. 300-ohm feeder cable 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm antenna adapter Notes for FM antenna installation ● To minimize automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible. ● Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable. ● The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures. GND terminal For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth. 5  CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLIFIER ● ● Do not plug in this unit and the amplifier or other component until all connections are completed. Be sure that the connections from the left (“L”) and right (“R”) LINE OUT terminals are connected to the corresponding (left and right) input terminals of the amplifier or other component. ● If you have a YAMAHA amplifier whose terminals on the rear panel are numbered as 1, 2, 3, etc., connections can be made easily by making sure to connect the LINE OUT terminals of this unit to the input terminals of the amplifier numbered 2.

Notes ● The automatic preset tuning search is performed through all RDS network frequencies until stations are stored up to E8. If the number of received stations is not enough to be stored up to E8, the search will be finished automatically after searching all frequencies. ● With this function, only RDS stations with sufficient signal strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to program is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monaural manually and program it by following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on page 10. * There may be a case that this function cannot receive a station which could be received by the automatic tuning method. This is because this function receives a large volume of PI (Program Identification) data along with the station. ● If no station is received by the automatic preset tuning search, the search finishes after “NOTHING” flashes for about 3 seconds on the display. ● You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM station manually by simply following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on page 10. The automatic preset tuning begins from A1. Received stations are programmed to A1, A2 ... A8 sequentially. * If more than 8 stations are received, they are also programmed to the preset station numbers on other groups (B, C, D and E) in that order. 11  EXCHANGING PRESET STATIONS You can exchange the places of two preset stations with each other as shown below.

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), EON (Enhanced Other Networks), etc. RDS function is carried out among the network stations. * This unit utilizes PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT and EON to receive RDS broadcast stations. English RECEIVING RDS STATIONS Displaying RDS data AUTO PS PTY RT CT EON ST SPORT This unit can be turned into the following five modes to display RDS data. PS (Program Service name) mode: CT (Clock Time) mode: Displays the name of the RDS station now being received instead of the frequency. Displays current time. This signal comes from the RDS station now being received. PTY (Program Type) mode: EON (Enhanced Other Networks) mode: Displays the type of the program on the RDS station now being received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. Refer to the next page for details. RT (Radio Text) mode: Automatically receives a program of the designated program type when its broadcast starts, in place of the program now being received. When the broadcast of the called program ends, the previously received program (or another program on the same station) is recalled. Displays information about the program (such as title of the song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station now being received. 13  Program types in the PTY mode NEWS News: Short accounts of facts, events and publicly expressed views, reportage and actuality. AFFAIRS Current affairs: Topical program expanding or enlarging upon the news, generally in different presentation style or concept, including documentary debate, or analysis. INFO Information: Program whose purpose is to impart advice in the widest sense, including meteorological reports and forecasts, consumer affairs, medical help, etc. SPORT Sport: Program concerned with any aspect of sport. EDUCATE Education: Program intended primarily to educate, of which the formal element is fundamental. DRAMA Drama: All radio plays and serials. CULTURE Culture: Programs concerned with any aspect of national or regional culture, including religious affairs, philosophy, social science, language, theatre, etc. SCIENCE Science: Programs about the natural sciences and technology. 14 VARIED Varied: 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.

ROCK M Rock: Contemporary modern music, usually written and performed by young musicians. M.O.R. M M.O.R.: (Middle of the Road Music). Common term to describe music considered to be “easylistening”, as opposed to Pop, Rock or Classical. Music in this category is often but not always, vocal, and usually of short duration (<5 min.) LIGHT M Light classics: Classical Musical for general, rather than specialist appreciation. Examples of music in this category are instrumental music, and vocal or choral works. CLASSICS Serious classics: Performances of major orchestral works, symphonies, chamber music etc., and including Grand Opera. OTHER M Other music: Musical styles not fitting into any of the above categories. Particularly used for specialist music, of which Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Folk, Country, and Reggae are examples.  English Changing the RDS modes When an RDS station is received, “PS”, “PTY”, “RT” and/or “CT” that correspond to the RDS data services employed by the station light up on the display. By pressing the RDS MODE/FREQ 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.) Illumination of the indicator on the head of a name of RDS mode shows that the corresponding RDS mode is now selected. * When an RDS station is received, do not press the RDS MODE/FREQ button until one or some names of RDS modes light up on the display. If the button is pressed before one or some names light up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. This is because the unit has not received all of the RDS data on the station yet. * If no name of RDS mode lights up on the display, the mode cannot be changed. RDS MODE/FREQ PS mode The name of the station being received is displayed. If the station does not employ the PS data service, this mode will not be selected. PTY mode The type of the program on the station being received is displayed. If the station does not employ the PTY data service, this mode will not be selected. (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 page.) RT mode Information about the program on the station being received is displayed. Information is displayed by a maximum of 64 Roman Alphabets including umlaut sign. If other characters are used on the RT data, they are displayed with under-bars. If the station does not employ the RT data service, this mode will not be selected. CT mode Current time is displayed in the following form. The CT data from the station being received changes every minute. Hour Minute If the data is accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may light up. If the station does not employ the CT data service, this mode will not be selected. Frequency display mode The frequency of the station being received is displayed. Notes • 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. • There may be a case that RDS data reception is not possible due to poor reception conditions. If so, press the TUNING MODE button so that the “AUTO” indicator 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. • If the signal strength gets weakened by external interference during receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will light up on the display. 15  Calling a program of your desired program type from among preset RDS stations (PTY SEEK) By designating a program type, the unit automatically searches all preset stations for an RDS station which broadcasts a program of that program type. * There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. For details, refer to page 14.

The unit begins searching for another station which broadcasts a program of the same program type. If no station is found, “NOTHING” appears and then returns to frequency display. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS mode. * If the PTY SEEK START button is pressed once more during searching, this mode is canceled and turns into the frequency display. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS mode. To cancel this function 16 If the PTY SEEK MODE button is pressed once more, the PTY SEEK mode is canceled and turns into the frequency display. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS mode.  English Making this unit call a program of your desired program type automatically when its broadcast starts This function uses the EON (Enhanced Other Networks) data service on the RDS station network. By only selecting a desired program type (NEWS, INFO, AFFAIRS or SPORT), this unit automatically searches all preset RDS stations for a station that broadcasts a program of that program type in the background, and, if found, receives a program when its broadcast starts in place of the program now being received. * This function can be used only when an RDS station that employs the EON-PTY data service is received.

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 The FM antenna should be put up as high as possible, away from the road, and a coaxial cable used. Noise from thermostats or other electrical equipment. Attach a noise suppressor to the equipment causing the noise. FM stereo reception is noisy. Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is far away or the antenna input is poor. Check the antenna connections. Try using a high quality directional FM antenna. Set the TUNING MODE button to the manual tuning mode. The ST indicator flickers and reception is noisy. Insufficient antenna input. Use an antenna appropriate for the reception condition in your area. Not tuned correctly. Tune again. There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. There is multipath interference. Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath interference. No stereo effect even with a stereo broadcast. The TUNING MODE button is set to the manual tuning mode. Set the button so that the “AUTO” indicator lights up on the display. A desired station cannot be tuned in with Automatic tuning. The station is too weak. Use the manual tuning mode. Use a high quality directional FM antenna. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in. The tuner has been unplugged for a long period. Repeat the presetting procedure. Insufficient sensitivity. Weak signal or loose antenna connections. Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and rotate it for best reception. GENERAL AM A desired station cannot be tuned in with Automatic tuning. 18 REMEDY Ignition noise from passing vehicles. Crackling sounds from time to time (especially in weak signal areas). FM CAUSE Use the manual tuning mode. There are continuous crackling and hissing noises. These noises result from lightning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment. Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all noises. There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening).
