Svenska
Vid placeringen av anläggningen, skall du se till att det finns tillräckligt med fritt utrymme runt om samt bakom huvudapparaten, för att tillförsäkra
en bra ventilation. Var noga med att inte ställa någon annan apparat ell11er något föremål ovanpå huvudapparaten för att förhindra att
ventilationshålen på ovansidan blir blockerade. Annars kan huvudapparaten utsättas för brand eller skadas på annat sätt.
Anmärkning: När högtalarna ställs separat från huvudapparaten, skall du förvissa dig om att det finns ett fritt utrymme på minst 20 cm ovanför, bakom och på
huvudapparatens båda sidor. Om huvudapparaten placeras i en stereomöbel, måste möbelns framsida lämnas helt öppen.
Français
Installer ce système en laissant assez d’espace autour et derrière l’appareil principal pour assurer une bonne ventilation. Veiller à ne pas empiler un
autre appareil ou un autre objet sur l’appareil principal afin de ne pas boucher les orifices de ventilation du panneau supérieur. Sinon, on risquerait
de provoquer un incendie ou d’endommager l’appareil principal.
Remarque: Lorsqu’on place les enceintes à une certaine distance de l’appareil principal, veiller à laisser un espace d’au moins 20 cm au-dessus, derrière
et sur les deux côtés de l’appareil principal.
Si l’on place l’appareil principal dans un meuble, veiller à ce que le côté avant du meuble soit grand ouvert.
English
Set this system allowing enough spaces around and behind the main unit to assure good ventilation. Be sure not to place another unit or any object on
top of the main unit to prevent the ventilation holes on the top panel from being obstructed. Otherwise, it may cause fire or damage to the main unit.
Note: When placing the speakers apart from the main unit, be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm above, behind and on both sides of the main unit. If
the main unit is put in a rack, the front of it must be fully opened.
Italiano
Installare il sistema lasciando sufficiente spazio intorno e dietro all’apparecchio centrale per garantire una ventilazione sufficiente. Evitare
assolutamente di posizionare altri dispositivi o oggetti sulla parte superiore dell’apparecchio centrale onde evitare di ostruirne le aperture per la
ventilazione presenti sul lato superiore. In caso contrario possono verificarsi incendi, o l’apparecchio può subire danni.
Nota: Se si installano gli altoparlanti lontano dall’apparecchio principale, quest’ultimo deve essere posizionato in modo da avere almeno 20 cm di spazio libero sopra,
dietro e suoi due lati. Se si installa l’apparecchio principale in uno scaffale, il lato anteriore dello scaffale deve essere completamente aperto.
Español
Instale el sistema dejando suficiente espacio alrededor y detrás de la unidad principal para garantizar una buena circulación de aire. No instale otro
aparato o un objeto encima de la unidad principal porque obstruirá los orificios de salida de aire en el panel superior. Puede provocar un fuego o
dañar la unidad principal.
Nota: Cuando instale los altavoces alejados de la unidad principal, asegúrese de dejar un espacio de por lo menos 20 cm encima, detrás y a ambos lados de la
unidad principal.
Si se coloca la unidad principal dentro de un mueble, no debe cerrar la tapa delantera.
Nederlands
Zorg ervoor bij de opstelling van dit systeem dat er voldoende ruimte rondom en aan de achterzijde van de hoofdeenheid is voor het verkrijgen van
een goede ventilatie. Plaats geen andere apparatuur of voorwerpen bovenop de hoofdeenheid om te voorkomen dat de ventilatieopeningen in het
bovenpaneel geblokkeerd raken. Anders kan dit brandgevaar en beschadiging van de hoofdeenheid veroorzaken.
Opmerking: Bij het opstellen van de luidsprekers op afstand van de hoofdeenheid, een ruimte van tenminste 20 cm aan de bovenzijde, achterzijde en aan de
linker en rechter zijde van de hoofdeenheid open laten.
Als de hoofdeenheid in een rek wordt geplaatst, dient de voorzijde ervan volledig open te zijn.
Deutsch
Stellen Sie das System so auf, daß um und hinter dem Gerät genügend freier Raum vorhanden ist, um eine ausreichende Belüftung zu
gewährleisten. Es dürfen keine anderen Geräte oder Gegenstände auf das Gerät gestellt werden, weil die Belüftungsschlitze an der Geräteoberseite
nicht abgedeckt werden dürfen. Bei abgedeckten Belüftungsöffnungen kann ein Brand verursacht werden oder das Gerät kann beschädigt werden.
Hinweis: Wenn die Lautsprecher vom Gerät entfernt aufgestellt werden, muß ein freier Abstand von mindestens 20 cm über, hinter und auf beiden Seiten des
Gerätes vorhanden sein. Wenn das Gerät in einem Regal oder Schrank aufgestellt wird, so muß die Vorderseite vollständig geöffnet sein.

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 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:
•
CD pickup/MD 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 compact disc
(heart etc.) available on the market, because it may
damage this system.
•
Do not use a compact disc with tape, seals, or paste
on it, because damage to this system may result.
Precautions: Read this before operating your system
This system is not disconnected from the AC power
source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
this system itself is turned off. This state is called the
standby mode.
In this state, this system is designed to consume a certain
level of power.
Note
Please check the copyright laws in your country to record
from records, compact discs, minidiscs, radio, etc. Record-
ing of copyright material may infringe copyright laws.

Preparations and connections
Never plug the AC supply lead of this system into the AC outlet until all connections are completed.
Connections
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
When connecting a subwoofer (separate purchase)
You may wish to add a subwoofer to reinforce the bass frequencies.
When connecting a subwoofer to this system, connect the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal of this system to the INPUT terminal of the
subwoofer.
* Ordinary subwoofers, including the Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, are designed so that the amplifier and
subwoofer are in the same unit.
* The SUBWOOFER OUT terminal outputs low frequencies from both left and right channels.
(The cut-off frequency of this terminal is 200 Hz.)
m Connecting speakers
Connect the speakers to the corresponding speaker terminals on the rear of the main unit respectively by using the speaker cords.
Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cords is correct, that is the + and – markings are observed. If these cords are reversed,
the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
On the main unit
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)
1 Press up the tab.
2 Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”)
insulation from the speaker
wires.]

Preparations and connections
m Connecting external components
This system can be connected with external audio
components.
● Connect an audio component to the AUX terminals on the
rear of the main unit by using RCA pin plug connector
cables correctly, that is to say L (left) to L and R (right) to R.
Also, refer to the owner’s manual for the component to be
connected to this system.
If a tape deck is connected to the AUX (OUT) terminals, a
source played on this system or radio program can be
recorded with the tape deck.
● A digital-to-digital recording is possible from an external LD
(DVD) player, satellite tuner, DAT, etc. connected to the
DIGITAL IN (OPTICAL) terminal on the rear of the main unit
to the built-in MD recorder.
m Antenna connection
(1) Supplied FM antenna
Connect the FM antenna wire to the corresponding terminal
and direct the FM antenna wire to the direction where the
strongest signal can be received.
(2) Supplied AM loop antenna
Connect the AM loop antenna wires to the corresponding
terminals. Position the AM loop antenna for optimum
reception.
Notes
● When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of
the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wire connections
(from the right terminal to the left one, and vice versa).
● The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main
unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
Using an external antenna
● Use an external FM antenna instead of an indoor FM
antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.
● Use an external AM antenna if you need better reception.

Tuning operation
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, 8) 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.
● The tuner is originally set to search only RDS stations
instead of all FM stations by this operation. (FM stations
that employ no RDS network service cannot be
programmed.)
However, you can change the setting so that the tuner can
program not only RDS stations but also other FM stations.
(Refer to page 21 for details.)
● 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.

m Changing the RDS modes
When an RDS station is received, by pressing FREQ PS/PTY/
RT/CT once or more, you can change the display mode
among the RDS modes employed by the received station in
the order shown on the next page. (The RDS mode not
employed by the station cannot be selected.)
Notes
● If the received station is not an RDS station, pressing
FREQ PS/PTY/RT/CT displays “NO RDS” on the display,
and then it returns to the frequency display mode.
● When an RDS station is received, the display is
automatically turned into the PS mode. Do not press FREQ
PS/PTY/RT/CT until the display is turned into the PS mode.
If the button is pressed before the display mode changes, it
may occur that “NO PS” appears on the display. This is
because the tuner has not received all of the RDS data on
the station yet.
Tuning operation
Receiving RDS stations
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system
employed 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 PI (Program
Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program
Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), etc.
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.
* The built-in tuner utilizes PS, PTY, RT and CT to receive
RDS broadcast stations.
m RDS modes
The built-in tuner uses the following four modes to display
RDS data.
PS (Program Service name) mode
PTY (Program Type) mode
There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations as
described below.

mode, you can make this unit search for a station which is broadcasting a
program of your desired program type. For details, refer to the next page.
* If the RDS station does not employ the PTY data service, “NO PTY” lights
up on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency
display mode. If the station has PS data, after that, it turns into the PS
mode.
4 RT (Radio Text) mode
Information about the program on the station being received is displayed.
Information is displayed by a maximum of 64 Roman Alphabets including
umlaut sign.
* If other characters are used on the RT data, they are replaced by
underbars.
“RT WAIT” may flash while the tuner is receiving the data.
* If the RDS station does not employ the RT data service, “NO RT” lights up
on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency

mode.
5 CT (Clock Time) mode
Current time is displayed in the following form. The CT data from the station
being received changes every minute.
The tuner corrects the time of the built-in clock by synchronizing it with the
CT data. (This function can also be canceled, if so desired. Refer to page 21
for details.)
* “CT WAIT” may flash while the tuner is receiving the data. If the data is
accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may flash and then turn into “NO CT”.
* If the RDS station does not employ the CT data service, “NO CT” lights up
on the display for about 2 seconds and then returns to the frequency
display mode. If the station has PS data, after that, it turnsinto the PS
mode.

Notes
● RDS data service cannot be used if the received signal is not strong enough. Especially, the RT (Radio Text mode) needs much
data to be received, so it may occur that RT mode cannot be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY, etc.) are displayed.
● There may be a case that RDS data reception is not possible due to poor reception conditions. In such a case, press
AUTO/MANUAL to make tuning manually. Though the reception mode is changed to monaural by this operation, when you
change the display to an RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.
● If the signal strength gets weakened by external interference during receiving an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut
off suddenly and turn into the frequency display mode.

Each indicator mentioned with a number on pages 31–42 corresponds to the indicator with the same number on this page.
Protecting a recorded MD
• To protect a recorded MD, slide the tab on the side of the
MD to open the slot.
In this position, the MD cannot be used for recording. To
record on the MD, slide the tab to close the slot.
• If the MD is protected against erasure, “Protected” appears
on the display.
Care of MDs
• Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature
inside the car.
• Periodically remove dust and debris from the cartridge
surface by wiping it with a dry cloth.
• Because the MD itself is housed in a cartridge, you can
handle it normally without being concerned about dirt or
fingerprints. However, a malfunction may result if the
cartridge itself is dirty or warped.
• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD.

Recording to MD
The MD recorder allows you to make recordings from a wide
variety of program sources (both analog and digital).
When recording an analog source (such as an LP or tape),
the MD recorder converts the analog signals to 44.1 kHz
digital signal before recording them onto the MD.
When recording a digital source, the MD recorder converts
the digital signals to 44.1 kHz for recording onto the MD.
However, If you are recording a 44.1 kHz source signal
(such as a CD) there is no conversion. The MD recorder can
record 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz digital signals.
Note
Adjusting the VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls,
YMERSION, B. BOOST and MUSIC buttons have no effect on
the recorded sound. The recording level is automatically
adjusted.

Recording to MD
Track-marking
The MD recorder provides both automatic and manual
methods for the track number-marking.
● Automatic (default setting)
When making a recording, the track-marking is made
automatically.
● Manual
To make the track-marking manually, press M-MARK on
the remote control repeatedly until “MANUAL” (
8) is
illuminated.
When recording analog signals (from tapes, radio
programs, etc.)
Automatic:
Track numbers are written in synchronization with the input
level of the signal being recorded. During recording, if no
sound is detected for more than 1.5 seconds, the recorder
interprets this to be a gap between two tracks. When the
source signal is detected again, a track number is
automatically written.
Manual:
One track number is written automatically when you start
recording, but none are written during recording. To mark a
track number, press M-MARK at the desired position while
recording.
Note
When using the manual method, the marks must be set at
least 4 seconds apart.
When recording digital signals (from CDs, etc.)
Track numbers are written in the same positions as the
original source (CDs, etc.) with either automatic or manual
track-marking method.
To add additional track numbers, select the manual
track-marking method and press M-MARK at the desired
position while recording.
Monaural recording
Recording in monaural (mono) allows you to record up to 148
minutes of sound on one 74 minute MD. This may be useful
when recording a long interview, debate, or other long time
sources on one disc.
1 Select the proper input mode by pressing INPUT MODE.
When recording a CD source or the source connected
to the DIGITAL IN terminal on the rear of the main unit.
Select the Digital Mono mode so that “DIGITAL MONO”
(7) lights up on the display.
When recording other sources
Select the Analog Mono mode so that “MONO” (
7) lights
up on the display.
2 Follow the procedure of “Basic recording” on page 34.

Notes about TOC
TOC (Table of Contents) is the non-audio data contained on
all minidiscs (track numbers, play time, title data, etc.)
When you make recording onto an MD, the TOC data is
automatically renewed.
When the message “TOC Reading” or “TOC Writing”, etc. is
shown on the display, it means that the MD recorder is
reading the TOC data on an MD, or recording TOC data onto
an MD. During this period, do not make an operation on the
MD recorder, do not disconnect the power cord of this
system, or do not shake this system to prevent a
misoperation of the MD recorder.

Editing and titling MD
Editing an MD
One of the main advantages of MD is its editing capabilities,
you can remove the commercials from a radio broadcast,
arrange songs into the order you want, remove songs,
combine songs, even remove part of a song.
The MD recorder offers the following editing functions.
• Erase
Lets you erase a track, the entire disc, or part of a track.
You can also erase the title of a disc, or the titles of tracks
on a disc.
• Move
Lets you move a track to a different track number.
• Combine
Lets you combine two adjacent tracks.
• Divide
Lets you split a single track into two different tracks.
• TOC Write
Lets you write TOC information to the disc so that
changes are saved.
• FRA Check
Lets you recover disc space that may have been lost after
repeated editing operations.
• Undo
Lets you undo the previous editing operation if you make
a mistake.
Notes on editing
Before editing
Make sure that the MD is not protected against erasure. If the
MD is protected, you cannot edit the MD. Slide the tab to close
the slot on the side of the MD.
After editing
Use the TOC Write function, or press and pull the MD out in
order to update the TOC information.
Note
After performing an editing operation, “TOC” (
9) lights up
on the display to show that the TOC information has not yet
been written to the disc. Undo is possible only when “TOC”
(
9) is illuminated.
The illustrations below show the locations of buttons used for
editing operations described on pages 39–41.

TOC Write
When making a recording, the TOC (Table Of Contents) of the
MD is written as soon as recording is finished. When making
an editing or titling operation, however, the TOC isn’t
automatically written unless the disc is ejected. If the MD
recorder is accidentally turned off before writing the result of
editing to the TOC, it is possible that these changes will not be
saved. By using this function, you can ensure that the result of
your edition is saved on the disc.
1 Press to stop the MD recorder.
2 Press MD EDIT repeatedly to display “TOC Write ?”, then
press ENTER.
* “TOC WriteOK?” appears on the display.
3 Press ENTER.
* “TOC Writing” flashes on the display momentarily.
Notes
• You cannot undo the result of editing once it has been
written to the TOC.
• The TOC Write function can only be selected when the
TOC indicator is lit on the display.
FRA Check
When editing operations such as “Move” and “Divide” are
performed, recordable space may be lost and “TOC Full” may
appear on the display to indicate that no more recording can
be performed. When this occurs, it may be possible to recover
the FRA (Freely Recordable Area) on the disc that was lost by
repeated editing operations so that more recording is possible.
1 Press to stop the MD recorder.
2 Press MD EDIT repeatedly to display “FRA Check ?”,
then press ENTER.
* “FRA CheckOK?” appears on the display.
3 Press ENTER.
* “Complete” appears momentarily.

time (60 or 74 minutes) has been reached
Once 255 tracks have been recorded on one MD, “Can’t
REC” is displayed regardless of the total recorded time.
“Disc Full” is displayed before the maximum number of
tracks (255) have been recorded
During Automatic track-marking, fluctuations in emphasis
within songs may be interpreted as song intervals,
increasing the total number of tracks and causing “Disc Full”
to be displayed.
The remaining recording time does not increase even
after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks under 12 seconds in length are not counted and so
erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording
time.
“TOC Reading” is displayed continuously
The “TOC Reading” display lasts longer than normal when a
brand new (blank) disc is inserted.
The total recorded time and the remaining time on the
MD do not total to the maximum recording time
• Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each,
no matter how short the material.
• The MD recorder displays the length of the largest
continuous blank area as the remaining time. Therefore, if
there are several separate blank spaces, the remaining
time will only display a time equivalent to the largest
continuous blank space.
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during search operations.
Track numbers are not recorded correctly
Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers may
result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks
during digital recording.
It is not possible to erase part of a track using the A-B
Erase function
The MD recorder organizes the audio data in sound groups
and clusters. The minimum size of these units may not
consist of less than 10 seconds of stereo sound.
The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed
during playback of MDs recorded in monaural.
Appendix
Copy protection (SCMS)
As a digital audio component, this MD recorder conforms
with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
standards. The Serial Copy Management System restricts
copies made by recording digital signals to the first-
generation copies only. Therefore, an MD recorded from a
digital input source cannot be used as a source for making
another digital recording.
