We Want You 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.
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.
IMPORTANT:
The wire in the mains lead are coloured in accor-
dance 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.

Preparing the remote
control transmitter
Loading the batteries for the remote control
transmitter
1 Remove the battery compartment cover.
2 Insert 2 AAA size batteries into the battery
compartment.
3 Replace the battery compartment cover.
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
• Use only AAA batteries for replacement.
• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration
inside the battery compartment.)
• 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.
Remote control transmitter operation range
Notes
• 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.

Before recording
MDs (Mini Disc) let you digitally record and play music
with high quality sound. Another feature of MDs is track
marking. The track marking feature lets you quickly
locate a specific point or easily edit the recorded
tracks. However, depending on the source you record
from, the recording method and the way the track
numbers are recorded differs.
Notes on digital recording
• When recording from a digital source (such as CD,
DAT, etc.), the unit converts the digital signals to
44.1 kHz for recording onto the MD.
The unit can record 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz digital
signals.
• When recording from an analog source (such as
cassette tape, tuner, etc.), the unit converts the
analog signals to a 44.1 kHz digital signal.
When the source you record from is:
• CRX-M5’s CD player
– You can record from CD to MD with the CD
synchronized recording function (see page 14).
– The digital signal from the CD is recorded as it is.
– Track numbers are automatically marked as on the
original CD.
• Other digital components
– Track numbers are automatically marked as it is
when you turn on the Auto track marking function
(see page 14).
• CRX-M5’s tuner or other analog components
– The analog signal is converted to a digital signal
and recorded.
– Track numbers are automatically marked when you
turn on the Auto track marking function (see page
14) in sync with the level of the input signal.
1 Turn on the recording source and set it for
playback.
2 Insert an MD.

Notes about TOC
• On an MD, the track number (track sequence), playback
times, title data, etc., are recorded in the TOC area
independent of the sound information. You can edit
recorded tracks quickly by modifying the TOC information.
• Recording on an MD is completed when the TOC writing is
finished. Normally, the TOC information is written
automatically, but you can set it manually by setting REC
END WRITING function to OFF (page 16). TOC writing
starts when you do any of the following operations.
– Eject the MD.
– Press STANDBY/ON.
– In this case, if you pull out the AC power cord before TOC
writing is finished, the recorded contents will not be
memorized on the MD.
• TOC writing may be impossible (or Auto track number
marking may not perform as expected) when recording a
damaged CD or a broadcast source under interference.

For long recording (monaural) from
the LINE IN input (see page 15)
Notes
• When recording from a digital source other than the CRX-
M5 that has a digital output (volume) control, set the output
level to “MAX.” Recording may not be possible at low output
levels (when the digital volume is turned down).
• Each time you press DISPLAY while recording, the display
changes as follows:
After recording
Press POWER or press STANDBY/ON to turn the unit
off. The unit updates the TOC information of the MD
and the recording is completed.
Recording level
To set the recording level, first play the loudest
passage of the source to be recorded. Then set the unit
to the record pause mode (press REC) and watch the
meter readings. Adjust the recording level by turning
the REC LEVEL control so that the highest peak
causes the 0 dB level indicators to flicker. The OVER
indicators should not light.
Note
• Although some sources can be recorded with lower peak
levels, setting the peak levels too low may degrade the
quality of the recording.

Auto track marking
When making a recording, you can choose either
automatic or manual track marking. This feature
operates somewhat differently for analog and digital
signals. See below for details.
Press AUTO/MANUAL repeatedly to select automatic
track marking (“MANUAL” disappears from the display)
or manual track marking (“MANUAL” appears in the
display).
When recording analog signals
Auto: Track numbers are written in synchronization
with the input level of the signal being recorded. In
other words, if the source signal falls below a certain
level for more than 2 seconds, a track number is written
automatically the next time the source signal rises
above that level. You can change the level and time
settings (see page 16).
Manual: One track number is written automatically
when you start recording, but none are written during
recording. To write track number manually, press EDIT
at the desired point during recording.
When recording digital signals
Track numbers are written in the same positions as the
original source (CD, etc.) with automatic track marking.
When you set the unit to manual track marking, press
EDIT at the desired point to write track number during
recording.
Note
• When recording is paused, the portion recorded up to the
pause is counted as an individual track. When recording is
resumed, a new track number is created. On the other hand,
if one track is recorded in continuous repetition, that track is
recorded as one continuous track with a single track
number.
CD synchronized recording
You can easily record a CD on a MD when you
connect the unit to the CRX-M5.
This function is operated from the CRX-M5. For more
details, see the instructions of the CRX-M5.
1 Insert the desired disc into the CRX-M5.
2 Insert an MD.
3 Press DISC 1 – 3 to select the desired CD, then
press 7 after playing for several seconds.
4 Press CD SYNC when both units are in stop mode
and press 4/¢ repeatedly so that “CD → MD”
appears in the display.
5 Press CD SYNC .
The CRX-M5 starts CD play from the beginning of
a disc and the unit starts recording automatically.
6 Both units stop automatically when recording is
finished.
To stop CD synchronized recording
Press 7 (CRX-M5) or 7 (MDX-M5).
When you press 7 (MDX-M5) and the REC END
WRITING function set to ON, the CRX-M5 stops about
10 seconds after you press the button.
Notes
• You can record a CD on an MD with CD synchronized
recording by using various way as follows:
– recording from the desired track of a CD
– recording programmed track
• When the MD becomes full in the middle of the recording,
both units stop.
• Adjusting the VOLUME control of the CRX-M5 has no effect
on the recorded sound.
