How to Use This Manual  
This manual describes three YAMAHA receivers, RX-385, RX-385 RDS and RX-485 RDS. There are some differences between  
those three models. Especially, RX-385 RDS and RX-485 RDS contain the functions for receiving special data on RDS network  
stations.  
RX-385, on the other hand, is a receiver with a usual FM/AM tuning function.  
Several places in the manual refer to differences in features between the three models. Be sure to follow the procedure for the  
model you are using.  
* RDS is a data transmitting service system in network which is employed by FM stations. RDS stations are increasing in many  
countries (especially in Europe).

Blue: NEUTRAL  
Brown: LIVE  
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus  
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying  
the terminals in your plug. Proceed as follows: the wire  
which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal  
which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The  
wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the  
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.  
Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth  
terminal of the three pin plug.  
13. Voltage Selector (General Model only)  
The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit must be set  
for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC  
main supply.  
Voltages are 110/120/220/240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

CONNECTIONS  
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS  
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure.  
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal  
strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience  
poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.  
* The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.  
GND terminal  
Notes  
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the  
GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is  
a metal stake driven into moist earth.  
When connecting the indoor  
FM antenna, make sure that  
the grooved part of the  
connector hole is facing  
downward.  
If you need an outdoor  
FM antenna to improve  
FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable  
may be used. In locations troubled by electrical  
interference, coaxial cable is preferable.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS  
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire  
of the proper gauge, cut to be as short as possible. If the  
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the  
speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is  
correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires  
are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.  
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do  
not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could  
damage this unit and/or speakers.  
How to Connect:  
Red: positive (+)  
Black: negative (–)  
Press up the tab.  
Insert the bare wire.  
[Remove approx. 5mm  
(1/4”) insulation from  
the speaker wires.]  
Press down the tab and  
secure the wire.  
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.  
If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either  
the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.  
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the  
rear of this unit.

section “To store stations” on page 13.  
RX-485 RDS and RX-385 RDS only  
The automatic preset tuning search will be performed  
through all RDS network frequencies until stations are  
stored up to E8. If the number of received stations is not  
enough to be stored up to E8, the search is finished  
automatically after searching through all frequencies.  
After 5 seconds, the automatic preset tuning begins from A1.  
Received stations are programmed to A1, A2 ... A8  
sequentially.  
* If more than 8 stations are received, they are also  
programmed to the preset station numbers on other pages  
(B, C, D and E) in that order.  
If you want to store the first station received by the  
automatic preset tuning to a desired preset station  
number.  
If, for example, you want to store the received first station to  
C5, select “C5” by using the A/B/C/D/E button and the  
PRESET STATIONS button soon after the display begins  
flashing on/off in step 2. After a few seconds, the automatic  
preset tuning begins. The received first station is stored to C5,  
and next stations to C6, C7 ... sequentially.  
With this function, only RDS stations with sufficient signal  
strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to  
program is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monaural  
manually and program it by following the procedure of the  
section “To store stations” on page 13.  
* There may be a case that this function cannot receive a  
station which could be received by the automatic tuning  
method. This is because this function receives a large  
volume of PI (Program Identification) data along with the  
station.  
If stations are stored up to E8, the automatic preset tuning is  
finished automatically.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS  
RX-485 RDS and RX-385 RDS only  
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced 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 AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program  
Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc.  
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.  
* This unit utilizes AF, PI, PS and PTY to receive RDS broadcast stations.  
Displaying RDS data  
This unit can be turned into the following two modes to display RDS data.  
PS (Program Service station name) mode:  
BBC R3  
Displays the name of the RDS station now being received instead of the frequency.  
PTY (Program Type name) mode:  
Displays the program type of the RDS station now being received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations as follows.  
News:  
Varied:  
Short accounts of facts, events and publicly  
expressed views, reportage and actuality.  
Used for mainly speech-based programs  
usually of light-entertainment nature, not  
covered by above categories. Examples are:  
quizzes, panel games, personality interviews,  
comedy and satire.

persists, the cord may be defective.  
No connection from the turntable to the GND  
terminal.  
Make the GND connection between the turntable  
and this unit.  
The volume level is low while playing a record.  
The record is being played on a turntable with an  
MC cartridge.  
The player should be connected to the receiver  
through the MC head amplifier.  
The volume level cannot be increased, or  
sound is distorted.  
The power to the component connected to the REC  
OUT terminals of this unit is off.  
Turn the power to the component on.  
FM stereo reception is noisy.  
Because of the characteristics of FM stereo  
broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the  
transmitter is too far or the antenna input is poor.  
Check the antenna connections.  
Try using a multiple element FM antenna.  
There is distortion and clear reception cannot  
be obtained even with a good FM antenna.  
There is multipath interference.  
Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath  
interference.  
A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto  
tuning.  
The station is too weak.  
Use Manual tuning mode.  
Use high quality directional FM antenna.  
A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto  
tuning.  
Weak signal or loose antenna connections.  
Use Manual tuning mode.  
Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and  
rotate it for best reception.  
There are continuous crackling and hissing  
noises.  
Noises will result from ligtning, fluorescent lamps,  
motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment.  
Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This  
will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all  
noises.  
There are buzzing and whining noises  
(especially in the evening).  
A television set is being used nearby.  
Relocate this unit away from the TV.  
The remote control transmitter does not work.  
Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of  
flourescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control  
sensor of the main unit.  
Change position of the main unit.  
The batteries of this remote control transmitter are  
too weak.  
Replace the batteries with new ones.  
Turn the power to this unit on.
