Automatic searching for the peak level on a disc
This convenient feature automatically searches a disc for a part where the source level peaks, and next plays the part repeatedly. For recording to tape, this feature is very helpful to adjust the recording level on the tape deck.

To cancel this function

Press the STOP button. (Some other buttons can also be used to cancel this function.) Notes Even if the peak level search is performed twice or more on the same disc, the same part will not be always selected, because this unit will search for the peak level among parts on the disc that are randomly selected by the internal microcomputer. In the program play mode, this feature will function among the programmed tracks only. If program play is being performed, first press the STOP button, and then press the PEAK button. If program play is not being performed, only press the PEAK button.

The peak level search is performed on the disc.

CD SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING
This unit can make a tape decks recording synchronized with CD play automatically. With this function, you can record a CD on tape very easily and more precisely. This recording method needs a YAMAHA tape deck compatible with this function. (Refer to the tape decks operation manual to know whether it is compatible or not.) * This unit and the tape deck must be placed close to each other so that both of them can receive the signals from this units remote control transmitter at the same time.

0 PLAY STOP

Load the disc.
If necessary, select a desired track.
Load a tape on the tape deck. * The peak level search function of this unit is useful for adjusting recording level on the tape deck. (Refer to page 16.)
Both CD play and tape deck recording begin. * CD play begins a little later than recording.
If you want to stop recording temporarily and restart recording from a desired track, follow steps 35 again.
This unit enters into the pause mode, and the tape deck enters into the REC/PAUSE mode. * In this mode, the time display on this unit flashes on and off. Press the STOP button. Notes To finish or stop the recording, make proper operations on the tape deck. Programmed sequence of tracks can also be recorded with this function, instead of recording an entire disc. (Refer to page 1112 for the programming procedure.) This function can also be used together with the automatic tape-programming function. (Refer to page 1315.)
NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER
Battery installation Remote control transmitter operation range

Remote control sensor

Within approximately 6m (19.7 feet)
Battery replacement If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones. 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 transmitter 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.
Notes There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter 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 transmitter not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

NOTES ABOUT HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
This compact disc player is designed only for playing compact discs bearing the mark. Never attempt to load any other type of disc into the unit. The unit will also play 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs. To remove a disc from its storage case, open the case and then press down at the center; with a finger through the center hole and the outer edges held as shown in the illustration, lift the disc out carefully.
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.

,,, , ,

Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not scratched.
Do not try to clean the discs surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid, because such 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.
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. To play a 8-cm (3-inch) CD Place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put a normal (12-cm/5-inch) CD on top of a 8-cm CD.

The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this units POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitters POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any component whenever this unit is turned on. The maximum power (total power consumption of components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLETS is 100 watts.
PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals
Removing the jumper pins enables this unit to independently perform the functions of a control amplifier and a power amplifier. These terminals are for connection of a signalprocessing system such as a graphic equalizer or sound processor. If a sound processor or other external unit is connected between these terminals, the VOLUME control of this unit can be used for overall adjustment of the level of sound. To connect such a unit, remove the jumper pins from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, connect the inputs of that unit to the PRE OUT terminals and its outputs to the MAIN IN terminals. For details, refer to the owners manual included with the unit to be connected.

GND terminal (For turntable use)
Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to this terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.
Notes If you will not use the PRE OUT/MAIN IN terminals, never remove the jumper pins from these terminals. If removed, no sound will be output from this unit. q If you will use this unit with an external unit connected between the PRE OUT and MAIN IN terminals, make sure that the PURE DIRECT switch on the front panel is turned off. q If you will use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the outputs of an external control amplifier etc. to this units MAIN IN terminals. In that case, this units controls will not function except the PHONES jack and the SPEAKERS switches, so use the controls on the external control amplifier to make volume adjustment etc.
