SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
10 Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided  
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the  
product and to protect it from overheating, and these  
openings must not be blocked or covered. 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.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
DO NOT OPEN  
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE  
COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE  
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO  
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.  
11 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.  
12 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.  
Explanation of Graphical Symbols  
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,  
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert  
you to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous  
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may  
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of  
electric shock to persons.  
The exclamation point within an equilateral  
triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of  
important operating and maintenance (servicing)  
instructions in the literature accompanying the  
appliance.  
13 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.  
WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,  
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.  
14 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.  
15 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.  
16 Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension  
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result  
in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
17 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
d) If the product does not operate normally by following  
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls  
that are covered by the operating instructions as an  
improper adjustment of other controls may result in

qualified technician to restore the product to its normal  
operation,  
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any  
way, and  
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in  
performance - this indicates a need for service.  
24 Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or  
cable system is connected to the product, be sure the  
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some  
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.  
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,  
provides information with regard to proper grounding of the  
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire  
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,  
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
20 Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required,  
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts  
specified by the manufacturer or have the same  
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized  
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other  
hazards.  
21 Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs  
to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety  
checks to determine that the product is in proper operating  
condition.

We WantYou Listening For A Lifetime  
YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer  
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of 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.

CD PREVENTIVE CARE  
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.  
This compact disc player is designed for use with  
following types of disc only. Never attempt to load any  
other type of disc into the unit. The unit will also play  
8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.  
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.  
(Playback only)  
Be sure to use only CD-R and CD-RW discs made by  
reliable manufacturers.  
Some discs cannot be played depending on the disc  
characteristics or recording conditions (copyright-  
protected 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 discs play.  
Do not try to clean the discs surface by using any type  
of disc cleaner, record spray, antistatic spray or liquid,  
or any other chemical-based liquid, because such  
Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these  
could damage the unit.  
substances might irreparably damage the discs 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.  
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.  
No!

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 not to work correctly. In this  
case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.  
Battery replacement  
If you find that the remote control must be used closer to  
the main unit than usual, the batteries are weak. Replace  
batteries with new ones.  
Removing the protection sheet  
The remote control is shipped with a protection sheet to  
prevent the surface from being scratched during  
transportation.  
When removing the sheet, first put adhesive tape on an  
edge of the remote control so that the tape sticks to the  
sheet. Then peel the sheet off with the tape.  
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 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.  
Note  
Do not scratch the remote control surface when peeling the  
sheet off.
