NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER
Battery installation Remote control transmitter operation range

Remote control sensor

Within approximately 6 m (19.7 feet)

Battery replacement

If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit than usual, 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 mark. Never attempt to load compact discs bearing the 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.

The disc tray does not close completely. Play does not begin.
Improper amplifier operation. Sound skips. The player is being subjected to vibrations or impacts. The disc is dirty. Sound hums. Improper cable connections.
Noise from a nearby tuner. Noise from inside of the disc tray. The remote control transmitter does not work.
The tuner is too close to the player. The disc may be warped. The batteries of this remote control transmitter are too weak. Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of the main unit.

CAUTIONS

To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference. Install your unit in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean place away from windows, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, or cold. To avoid humming sounds, locate the unit away from other electrical appliances, motors, and transformers. To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to rain and water. (U.K. and Europe models only) Be sure to allow at least 10 cm of ventilation space at the top, on left, right, and back sides of RX-E100. Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before starting playback of an audio source: increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after play has started. When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (i.e., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet. Grounding or polarization Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not defeated. Do not clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. Be sure to read the Troubleshooting section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty. Do not place another component on top of this unit, as damage or discoloration on the surface of the unit may result. To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet during an electrical storm. When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord. Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall outlet before you finish all connections. The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this unit 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. When listening to the receiver at a high volume level for a long time, the temperature inside the unit rises. To prevent overheating and possible damage to this unit, the internal fan starts running.
