PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATINGYOUR UNIT  
To assure the finest performance, please read this manual  
CD pickup  
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.  
Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal  
playback is possible (about 1 hour).  
Tape head  
Leave the power on with no cassette in the unit until normal  
playback is possible (about 1 hour).  
Note  
If condensation forms on the tape head, foreign matter may  
accumulate during use.  
Remote control  
This system is equipped with the newly developed Active Servo  
Processing Speaker System. It is not designed for use with  
conventional speakers. Therefore, do not attempt to connect  
other speakers than the provided speaker system.  
Choose the installation location of this unit 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.  
Wipe off condensation on the transmitter window with a soft  
cloth before operating the unit.  
Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly  
causing damage.  
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact  
IMPORTANT  
your dealer.  
Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below.  
The openings on the rear assure proper ventilation of the unit. If  
these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the  
cabinet will rise rapidly and eventually damage the circuits.  
Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings and do  
not install the unit where the flow of air through the ventilation  
openings could be impeded.  
Serial No.:  
The serial number is located on the rear of the unit.  
Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference.  
WARNING  
Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before starting the  
audio source: increase the volume gradually to an appropriate  
level after play has started.  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO  
NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.  
When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie.,  
vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.  
NOTE  
Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so that  
Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from  
records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material  
may infringe copyright laws.  
the grounding or polarization of an appliance is not defeated.  
Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires. When  
moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires  
connected to other equipment. Never pull the wire itself.  
Do not attempt to clean the unit 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 the unit 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 cassette deck’s record/playback head assembly in this  
unit. 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 cassette deck’s record/playback heads used in this  
unit 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 unit. Using this product with a higher voltage than that which  
is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of  
accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible  
for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other  
than that which is 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 the unit 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 the unit to malfunction.

COMPACT DISC PLAYER OPERATION  
Direct operation  
Even when an input source other than CD player is selected,  
pressing the play/pause button will start playback directly. In  
this case, if the tape deck is playing back a tape, it will be  
stopped automatically.  
Precautions  
If TV or radio interference occurs during CD player  
operation, move the unit away from the TV or radio.

Do not push the disc table while it is moving.  
If the power fails while the table is open, wait until the  
power supply returns or gently push the table manually to  
close it.  
The temperature range for playing compact discs is  
recommended to be 5°C (41°F) – 35°C (95°F).

TAPE DECK OPERATION  
General information  
Do not use C-120 tapes or poor-quality tapes, since they  
can cause malfunctions.  
Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment,  
tighten the tape slack with a pen or pencil.  
Tapes have removable tabs which prevent accidental  
recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab  
on the top left protects the side facing you from erasure.  
Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record  
again.  
This deck is a Double Cassette Deck with Automatic  
Reverse Function.  
DECK A: Playback only.  
DECK B: Playback or recording.  
This deck features an auto tape selector. Just load the  
tape, and the tape formula being used will be sensed  
automatically.  
This unit can play back metal tapes as well as normal or  
chrome tapes, and recording can also be done on metal  
tapes.  
When covering erasure prevention tab holes, do not cover  
the chrome and metal detection holes. Otherwise, the  
deck will treat tape as normal tape.

MAINTENANCE  
Internal care  
DECK A  
Dirty heads, capstans and pinch rollers can cause poor  
sound and tape jams.  
Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with  
commercially available head/pinch roller cleaner or  
isopropyl alcohol, or with a commercially available  
cleaning tape.  
After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may  
become magnetized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize  
these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time  
by using a commercial tape head demagnetizer. Read the  
demagnetizer’s instructions carefully before use.  
DECK B  
External care  
Periodically clean the surfaces of this system, especially  
the rear of KMA-GX3 to prevent the ventilation openings  
from being blocked with dust etc.  
Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other  
chemicals. (See “Precautions”.)
