CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR UNIT.

1.

This unit is a sophisticated stereo cassette deck. To
ensure proper operation for the best possible
performance, please read this manual carefully.

2.

Choose the installation location of your unit carefully.
Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to 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 or motors.

3.

Do not open the cabinet as this may result in damage
to the deck or electrical shock. If a foreign object
should get into the deck, contact your local dealer.

4.

Do not apply excessive force when operating switches
and knobs.

5.

When moving the deck, be sure to first pull out the
power plug and remove all cords connecting the deck
to other equipment.

6.

Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical
solvents as this may damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.

7.

Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools,
etc.) to come near the record/playback head
assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or damage
the head’s mirror-smooth finish, it may also change
the magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a
deterioration in reproduction quality.

8.

Although the record/playback head used in this unit is
a high quality head with outstanding reproduction
characteristics, it 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 as
explained later in this manual.

9.

Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section of this
manual for advice on common operating errors before
concluding that your unit is faulty.

10.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.

11.

Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

12.

Voltage Selector (General model only)
The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit
must be set for your local mains voltage BEFORE
plugging in the AC mains supply.

Please check the copyright laws in your country to
record from records, compact discs, radio, etc.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

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 avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
volume levels.

Want You

LISTENING
