ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
●
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram.
●
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.
Connecting the AM loop antenna
* 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.
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.
Notes
●
When connecting the indoor
FM antenna, insert its
connector into the FM ANT
terminal firmly.
●
If you need an outdoor
FM antenna to improve
FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable
may be used. In locations troubled by electrical
interference, coaxial cable is preferable.

Using the PURE DIRECT switch
You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio
sources by setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates.
By doing so, the audio signals bypass the BASS, TREBLE,
BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, thus eliminating any
alterations to the audio signals.
You can enjoy the purest possible CD sound from your CD
player by setting this switch so that the indicator illuminates.
By doing so, CD’s input signals are sent to the built-in amplifier
special for CD directly bypassing the INPUT selector, BASS,
TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, and then sent
to the power amplifier. This signal routing reproduces the
purest CD sound eliminating any alterations to the CD signals.

closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both
batteries with new ones.
Notes
●
Use only AA, R6, UM-3 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.

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
The unit fails to turn on when the POWER
switch is pressed.
No sound or no picture.
The sound suddenly goes off.
Only one side speaker outputs the sound.
There is a lack of bass, and no ambience.
Sound “hums”.
The volume level is low while playing a record.
The volume level cannot be increased, or
sound is distorted.
Sound level is low.
The INPUT selector will not function though it is
turned.
Using the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and
LOUDNESS controls does not affect the tone.
FM stereo reception is noisy.
There is distortion and clear reception cannot
be obtained even with a good FM antenna.
A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto
tuning.
A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto
tuning.
There are continuous crackling and hissing
noises.
There are buzzing and whining noises
(especially in the evening).
The remote control transmitter does not work.
The distance or range within which the remote
control transmitter can be used decreases.
CAUSE
Power cord is not plugged in or is not completely
inserted.
Incorrect output cord connections.
Appropriate input source is not selected.
The SPEAKERS switches are not set properly.
Speaker connections are not secure.
The protection circuit has functioned because of
short circuit etc.
The SLEEP timer functioned.
Incorrect setting of the BALANCE control.
Incorrect cord connections.
The + and – wires are connected in reverse at the
amplifier or speakers.
Incorrect cord connections.
No connection from the turntable to the GND
terminal.
The record is being played on a turntable with an
MC cartridge.
The power to the component connected to the REC
OUT terminals of this unit is off.
The LOUDNESS control is functioning.
The CD DIRECT AMP switch is ON.
The CD DIRECT AMP or PURE DIRECT switch is
ON.
Because of the characteristics of FM stereo
broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the
transmitter is too far away or the antenna input is poor.
There is multipath interference.
The station is too weak.
Weak signal or loose antenna connections.
Noises will result from lightning, fluorescent lamps,
motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment.
A television set is being used nearby.
Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of
flourescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control
sensor of the main unit.
The batteries of this remote control transmitter are
too weak.
REMEDY
Firmly plug in the power cord.
Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists,
the cords may be defective.
Select an appropriate input source with the INPUT
selector.
Set the SPEAKERS switch which corresponds to
the speakers to be used to the ON position.
Secure the connections.
Turning the unit off and then on will reset the
protection circuit.
Cancel the SLEEP timer function.
Adjust it to the appropriate position.
Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists,
the cords may be defective.
Connect the speakers wires in the correct phase
(+ and –).
Firmly connect the audio plugs. If the problem
persists, the cords may be defective.
Make the GND connection between the turntable
and this unit.
The player should be connected to the unit through
the MC head amplifier.
Turn the power to the component on.
