Thus it is this problem that is resolved through the employment of a design in which the amplifier functions to supply the signals. If the electrical resistance of the voice coil is reduced to zero, the movement of the speaker unit would become linear with respect to signal voltage, and, to accomplish this, a special negative-impedance output-drive amplifier for subtracting output impedance of the amplifier is used. By employing negative-impedance drive circuits, the amplifier is able to generate precise, low-amplitude low-frequency waves with superior damping characteristics, and these waves are then radiated from the cabinet opening as highamplitude signals. The system can, therefore, by employing the negative-impedance output drive amplifier and a speaker cabinet with the Helmholtz resonator, reproduce an extremely wide range of frequencies (28 Hz 20 kHz) with amazing sound quality and less distortion. The features described above, then, are combined to be the fundamental structure of the Active Servo Technology.

Fundamental rules of internal automatic preset tuning operation Basically, FM stations are programmed onto area A, B and C, and AM stations are programmed onto area D and E (MW stations are onto D and LW stations are onto E) in that order automatically. * If, for example, the number of received FM stations is not enough to fill up three areas (A, B and C), AM (MW or LW) stations are programmed closely from the preceeding empty areas. In such a case, AM (MW) stations are programmed from area B or C (and LW stations are from area C or D.) * Moreover, one area is programmed with stations of the same band only. If, for example, the last FM station is programmed to B4, B5B8 will be programmed with no station, and AM (MW) stations are programmed from area C.

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 reprogrammed by simply following the Preset tuning steps.
TAPE DECK OPERATION (for KXW-S70 Double Cassette Deck)

General information

Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with internal reels or poorquality tapes, since they can cause malfunctions. Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack tape 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. Do not press the EJECT button during playback or recording.

Detection hole Tab

Tape A or tape B playback
Press the TAPE input selector button. Open the DECK A or DECK B cassette compartment by pressing the EJECT button. Load the tape into the DECK A or DECK B cassette compartment, and close the lid panel completely by pressing the upper part of the center of the panel as figured left. * If you loaded two tapes into both the DECK A and B cassette compartments, select the DECK A or B in which the tape to be played back is loaded by pressing the DECK A or B select button. Set the Dolby NR switch to B or C if the tape has been recorded with Dolby noise reduction, and to OFF if Dolby NR was not used. * For selection of the Dolby B or C position, refer to the Dolby B and C Type Noise Reduction on page 28. Set the reverse mode switch as desired.

Press the DECK A or B select button to select the tape to be played back first. Press the play button to listen to side A, or the play button for side B.
Dolby B and C Type Noise Reduction
With cassette tapes, the most noticeable form of noise is high frequency hiss. To reduce this hiss noise, this unit has been equipped with a newly developed Dolby C noise reduction system in addition to its conventional Dolby B NR. Either type of noise reduction may be selected with the switch provided. Dolby B NR has a noise reduction effect of about 10 dB in the high frequency range. The corresponding figure with Dolby C NR is about 20 dB, but this is over the entire range where the human ear is most sensitive to noise (2 kHz to 8 kHz). Also, Dolby C NR has the same noise reduction effect at both high and low signal levels. In addition, Dolby C NR improves the tapes MOL (Maximum Output Level). Dolby noise reduction is a 2 part process that acts both on recording and playback; be sure that the noise reduction button is set to the same position on record and play. * Noise in the source material cannot be reduced with the Dolby NR system.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple measures suggested. If it cannot, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help. Should be service required, the servicer will need all three pieces [RX-S70, CDC-S90, (KXW-S70 or KX-S90)].

SYMPTOM No power even if the POWER switch is pressed. No sound from one speaker No sound from speakers. Excessive static in FM broadcasts. CAUSE AC supply lead is not plugged in. Loose speaker connections. Internal protection circuit is functioning. Interference from starting motor of nearby car. Interference from thermostat of nearby electrical appliance. Noise increases during stereo broadcasts. Antenna input is too weak due to obstructions or excessive distance from broadcasting station. Insufficient antenna input. Preset memory has been erased. Interference from source such as lightning, flourescent lights, electric motors or thermostat of nearby electrical appliance. TV or microprocessor is being used nearby. AM (LW or MW) broadcast sensitivity is poor. Radio signal is weak or antenna is not properly connected. REMEDY Plug in the AC supply lead. Connect properly. Unplug the AC supply lead from the wall AC outlet, and then plug in again. Position the FM antenna as high and as far away from nearby roads as possible. Connect using a coaxial cable.
Check antenna connections. Install a multi-element type FM antenna if possible. Install an antenna appropriate for the electric field strength of your area. Reprogram memory presets. Problem is difficult to eliminate but can be lessened by grounding MW/LW (AM) loop antenna. Move away from TV or microprocessor. Properly connect MW/LW (AM) loop antenna. Change orientation of MW/LW (AM) loop antenna. Install an external MW/LW (AM) antenna.
