The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product, c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water, I CAUTION 0102CRXE500(U).Cau.E 2 02.7.9, 4:40 PM  SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS d) 20 21 22 23 If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Never attempt to load any other type of disc into the unit. The unit will also play 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs. (Playback only) • Be sure to use only CD-R and CD-RW discs made by reliable manufacturers. • Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it, because damage to the unit may result. • Do not use any disc that has had its surface printed by a commercially-available label printer. • Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center. • Some discs cannot be played depending on the disc characteristics or recording conditions (copyrightprotected in a particular way, etc.). • Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc’s play. • Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these could damage the unit. To prevent a malfunction of this unit • Do not use any non standard shaped CD (heart, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage the unit. • Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, antistatic spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid, because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface. • Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity for a long period of time, because these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.

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. When taking the service, the MDX-E300 or KX-E300 may be needed. For details, contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center. RX-E400 RECEIVER SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY The unit does not switch ON when the STANDBY/ON is pressed. The AC power cord is not connected or not completely connected. Securely connect the power cord. No sound from one speaker. Loose speaker connections. Connect properly. The sound suddenly goes off. The protection circuit has been activated because of a short circuit, etc. Check the speaker wires are not touching each other and then turn the unit back on. No sound from an external unit connected with this unit or play does not begin. Incorrect cord connections. Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists, the cords may be defective. Input source selection is not proper. Make a proper input source selection. Sound distorted. The component connected to this unit is disconnected from AC outlet. Connect the AC power cord of the component to an AC outlet. Excessive static in FM broadcasts. Interference from starting motor of a nearby car. Position the FM antenna as high and as far away from nearby roads as possible. Connect using a coaxial cable. Interference from the thermostat of a nearby electrical appliance. Noise increases during stereo broadcasts. Antenna input is too weak due to obstructions or excessive distance from the broadcasting station. Check the antenna connection. Stereo broadcasts are noisy and STEREO indicator blinks on and off. Insufficient antenna input. Install an antenna appropriate for the electric field strength of your area. Cannot select preset stations. Preset memory has been erased. Reprogram memory presets. Buzzing or static during AM broadcasts. Interference from sources such as lightning, fluorescent lights, electric motors or thermostat of nearby electrical appliance. The problem is difficult to eliminate, but can be lessened by grounding AM loop antenna. TV or microprocessor is being used nearby. Move away from TV or microprocessor. Radio signal is weak or the antenna is not properly connected. Properly connect the AM loop antenna. AM broadcast sensitivity is poor. Install a multi-element type FM antenna if possible. Change orientation of the AM loop antenna. Install an external AM loop antenna. Cannot set timer. Current time is not set. Set current time. The unit does not work normally. The internal microcomputer has been frozen by an external electric shock (lightning, excessive static electricity, etc.) or the power supply with low voltage.
