English

■ To assure the finest performance, please read this manual

carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

■ Choose the installation location of this system 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.

■ Do not operate this system upside-down. It may overheat,

possibly causing damage.

■ Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,

contact your dealer.

■ The openings on the main unit cover assure proper

ventilation of the main unit. If these openings are

obstructed, the temperature inside the main unit will rise

rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these

openings, and install the main unit in a well-ventilated area

to prevent fire and damage.

■ 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.

■ When not planning to use this system for long periods of

time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug

from the wall outlet.

■ Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so

that the grounding or polarization of this system is not

defeated.

■ Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.

When moving the main unit, first disconnect the power plug

and the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the

wire itself.

■ If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with this

system operation, move the main unit away from such an

appliance.

■ Do not attempt to clean this system with chemical solvents;

this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

■ Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section regarding

common operating errors before concluding that this

system is faulty.

■ To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power

plug and the antenna cable when there is an electrical

storm.

■ 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 deck’s record/playback head assembly.

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.

■ Although the tape deck’s 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:

•

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

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.

Automatic preset tuning

You can make use of an automatic preset tuning function. With

this function, the built-in tuner performs automatic tuning. Up

to 40 stations are stored automatically.

1 Turn on the power.

2 Press INPUT or until “TUNER” (2, 7) appears on

the display, or simply press TUNER on the remote control.

3 Press and hold MEMORY for more than 2 seconds.

* The “MEMORY” (

6) and “AUTO” (4) indicators flash.

The tuner performs automatic tuning and searches FM and

AM stations in that order. Received stations are programmed

to A1, A2 ... A8 sequentially.

When the automatic preset tuning is completed;

The display shows the frequencies of the first preset station

(stored to A1).

If you want to check the contents and the number of preset

stations, follow the procedure of the section “To recall a preset

station” on the previous page.

To recall a preset station

Simply follow the procedure of the section “To recall a preset

station” on the previous page.

Notes

● The automatic preset tuning search will be performed

through all frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If the

number of received stations is less than 40, the search will

stop after searching all frequencies.

* Since FM stations are searched for first, there may be a

case that 40 preset stations are occupied by FM stations

only.

● With this function, only stations with sufficient signal

strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to

program is weak in signal strength, tune in to it with the

Manual tuning method (in monaural) and program it by

following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on

the previous page.

● You can replace a preset station with another FM or AM

station manually by simply following the procedure of the

section “To store stations” on the previous page.

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data

from being lost even if the AC supply lead is disconnected

from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary

power failure. If, however, the power is cut for more than

one week, the memory may be erased. If so, it can be

re-programmed by simply following the Preset tuning steps.

E-24

Playing back a tape

● Do not use C-120 tapes or poor-quality tapes, since they

can cause malfunctions.

● Before loading a tape on the tray, 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.

● The tape deck features an automatic tape selector. Just

load the tape, and the tape formula being used will be

sensed automatically.

● The tape deck can play back metal tapes as well as normal

or chrome tapes, however recording cannot be done on

metal tapes with good sound quality.

Dolby B Type Noise Reduction

Dolby noise reduction is an extremely effective method of

reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. The built-in

tape deck incorporates Dolby B type noise reduction system.

DOLBY NR is useful to both recording and playback; be sure

that the same noise reduction is used on recording and

playback.

Sound field processor

The Sound Field Processor built into this system enables you to enjoy listening to a source with an ambience of actual concert hall

or three-dimensional acoustics. This system provides preset sound field programs shown below. You can enjoy an excellent sound

field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments.

This system also 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.

Various sound control

m Sound field programs

This program is used for playing sources encoded with Dolby Surround.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and

dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear

channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range.

This program is used for simplified play of Dolby Surround encoded sources. With this program, sound

effects are output from the left and right front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers.

YMERSION is Yamaha’s proprietary technology that enhances the spread of a normal stereo source

play sound, creating three-dimensional acoustics using only two speakers.

This program presents you with an ambience of actual concert hall by adding effects as sonic reflections

or reberverations that create sound environment of a hall. Sound effects are output from the front and

rear speakers. Orchestra and opera music is suited for this sound field.

Keep it in a safe place for future reference. ■ Choose the installation location of this system 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. ■ Do not operate this system upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage. ■ Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer. ■ The openings on the main unit cover assure proper ventilation of the main unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the main unit will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the main unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent fire and damage. ■ 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. ■ When not planning to use this system for long periods of time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet. ■ Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of this system is not defeated. ■ Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires. When moving the main unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the wire itself. ■ If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with this system operation, move the main unit away from such an appliance. ■ Do not attempt to clean this system with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. ■ Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that this system is faulty. ■ To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm. ■ Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before you finish all connections. ■ 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. English Precautions: Read this before operating your system ■ 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: • • • 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. • • IMPORTANT Please record the serial number of this system in the space below. Model: Serial No.: The serial number is located on the rear of the main 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. ■ Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to come near the tape deck’s record/playback head assembly. 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. ■ Although the tape deck’s 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.

This system provides preset sound field programs shown below. You can enjoy an excellent sound field by selecting one of them, and adding desired adjustments. This system also 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. m Sound field programs Program Feature PRO LOGIC This program is used for playing sources encoded with Dolby Surround. Dolby Pro Logic Surround uses four discrete channels and five speakers to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two main channels (left and right), a center channel for dialog, and a rear channel for special sound effects. The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. 3 STEREO This program is used for simplified play of Dolby Surround encoded sources. With this program, sound effects are output from the left and right front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. YMERSION HALL YMERSION is Yamaha’s proprietary technology that enhances the spread of a normal stereo source play sound, creating three-dimensional acoustics using only two speakers. This program presents you with an ambience of actual concert hall by adding effects as sonic reflections or reberverations that create sound environment of a hall. Sound effects are output from the front and rear speakers. Orchestra and opera music is suited for this sound field.
