Flashes 15  RECEIVING RDS STATIONS RX-485 RDS and RX-385 RDS 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 AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc. RDS function is carried out among the network stations. * This unit utilizes AF, PI, PS and PTY to receive RDS broadcast stations. Displaying RDS data This unit can be turned into the following two modes to display RDS data. PS (Program Service station name) mode: Displays the name of the RDS station now being received instead of the frequency. BBC R3 PTY (Program Type name) mode: Displays the program type of the RDS station now being received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations as follows. NEWS AFFAIRS INFO SPORT EDUCATE DRAMA News: Short accounts of facts, events and publicly expressed views, reportage and actuality. Current affairs: Topical program expanding or enlarging upon the news, generally in different presentation style or concept, including documentary debate, or analysis Information: Program whose purpose is to impart advice in the widest sense, including meteorological reports and forecasts, consumer affairs, medical help, etc. VARIED POP M ROCK M Sport: Program concerned with any aspect of sport. MOR M Education: Program intended primarily to educate, of which the formal element is fundamental.

PS/PTY SEEK ENTER Press once or twice until a program type is displayed or “NO PTY” flashes. FREQ/PS/PTY SHIFT ENTER ENTER * If “NO PTY” flashes, proceed to the next step while flashing. If “NO PTY” disappears before you proceed to the next step, press the FREQ/PS/PTY button once or twice. Flashes. 5 DOWN 2 UP Press once. PS/PTY SEEK FREQ/PS/PTY SHIFT ENTER The program type of the station now being received or “NEWS” flashes on the display. 3 PRESET STATIONS Select the desired program type. DOWN TUNING UP * By pressing the TUNING button repeatedly or by pressing and holding it, the display will change program types in sequence. The unit begins searching all preset stations, and calls a station of the program type if such a station is found. * When the right side of the PRESET STATIONS button is pressed, the search is performed from “A1” toward higher numbers of the preset stations (A1, A2 ... A8, B1, B2, ...). If, however, “A3” is currently being called for example, the search begins from the next station “A4”. When the left side of the PRESET STATIONS button is pressed, the search is performed in reverse order. If the called station is not the desired one, press the PRESET STATIONS button again to search for another station of the same program type. To cancel this function Press the AF, FREQ/PS/PTY, SHIFT, ENTER, FM/AM or MEMORY button. Note If no station is found by this function, after searching all preset stations, “NO PTY” flashes for about 3 seconds on the display, and then it returns to the mode which had been obtained before the searching was performed. 19  Calling the best quality RDS station which broadcasts the same program (AF SEEK) This function automatically searches for and calls another RDS station of the best reception quality which broadcasts the same program now you are listening to. This function utilizes AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station) and PI (Program Identification) of RDS data service. The search is carried out among the RDS network stations. 2, 3 1 2 Tune to a desired RDS station. * Wait for about 10 seconds before proceeding to the next step. This is for making this unit carry out searching more stations. AF The unit searches network stations for other stations with the same program. * If the station is not an RDS station, or there is no other station with the same program, “NO AF” flashes. Stations with the same program are all stored and numbered from the best quality station in sequence. When the search is finished, the best quality station is called. 20 3 If desired, you can call the second station by pressing the AF button. AF Whenever the AF button is pressed, stored stations are called in sequence. When pressed after the last station is selected, the first one is restored. To cancel this function Press a button other than the AF button. All of the stored stations will be also cleared.  The remote control transmitter provided with this unit is designed to control all the most commonly used functions of the unit.

(In this mode, the standby indicator on the front panel is half illuminated.) STANDBY mode POWER on mode NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER Battery installation Remote control transmitter operation range 2 Remote control sensor 1 3 Within approximately 7 m (23 feet) Battery replacement If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used 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. 22 30° 30° 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.  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. Amplifier SYMPTOM Power cord is not plugged in or is not completely inserted. Firmly plug in the power cord. No sound. Incorrect output cord connections. Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. Appropriate input selector button is not pressed. Press the appropriate input selector button corresponding to the input source. The sound suddenly goes off. The protection circuit has activated because of short circuit etc. Turning the unit off and then on will reset the protection circuit. Only one side speaker outputs the sound. Incorrect setting of the BALANCE control Adjust it to the appropriate position. Incorrect cord connection. Connect the cord properly. If the problem persists, the cables may be defective. Incorrect cord connections. Firmly connect the audio plugs. If the problem persists, the cord may be defective. No connection from the turntable to the GND terminal. Make the GND connection between the turntable and this unit. The volume level is low while playing a record. The record is being played on a turntable with an MC cartridge. The player should be connected to the receiver through the MC head amplifier. The volume level cannot be increased, or sound is distorted. The power to the component connected to the REC OUT terminals of this unit is off. Turn the power to the component on. FM stereo reception is noisy. Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is too far or the antenna input is poor. Check the antenna connections. Try using a multiple element FM antenna. 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. A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto tuning. The station is too weak. Use Manual tuning mode. Use high quality directional FM antenna. A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto tuning. Weak signal or loose antenna connections. Use Manual tuning mode. There are continuous crackling and hissing noises. Noises will result from ligtning, 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). A television set is being used nearby. Relocate this unit away from the TV. The remote control transmitter does not work. Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of flourescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of the main unit. Change position of the main unit. The batteries of this remote control transmitter are too weak. Replace the batteries with new ones. The power to this unit is off. Turn the power to this unit on. FM Remote control transmitter AM REMEDY The unit fails to turn on when the POWER switch is pressed. Sound “hums”. Others CAUSE The sound is degraded when monitoring is performed by using the headphones connected to the compact disc player or cassette deck which are connected with this unit. English TROUBLESHOOTING Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and rotate it for best reception. 23  SPECIFICATIONS 24 AUDIO SECTION FM SECTION <RX-385 RDS> Minimum RMS Output Power per Channel 8
