What is RDS?

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 Program Identification (PI), Program Service name (PS), Program Type (PTY), Traffic Program (TP), Radio Text (RT), Clock Time (CT), etc. The unit is compatible with the RDS system for PS, PTY, TP, RT, and CT. Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak. Some FM stations do not offer RDS service. Of those that do, not all provide the same types of services. Check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

Getting Started Playing CDs ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Notes about cassette tapes

Cassette tapes

There are many different types of cassette tapes available. However, they all conform to standard specifications so any brand may be used with the unit. Classification of Cassette Tapes by Formulation: Cassette tapes are available in four basic types depending of their formulation, or type of magnetic material and manufacturing process. These four types are commonly known as Normal (TYPE I/ NORM), Chrome (TYPE II/HIGH <CrO2>), Ferrichrome (TYPE III/HIGH <FeCr>), and Metal (TYPE IV/METAL) , and they each require a specific tape deck. * YAMAHA does not recommend the use of 120 minute length cassettes since the extreme thinness of the tape makes them susceptible to mechanical and recording problems.
Protecting your recordings
All cassette tapes are provided with erasure protection holes to prevent accidental erasure of recorded contents. There is a small tab covering the hole on each side of the cassette, and it should be broken off after recording the tape. Without this tab covering the hole, it is impossible to record onto that tape. Thus, you can safely protect a recording for as long as you wish without fear of accidental erasure. Should you wish to use a cassette tape protected in this way for recording, simply covering the hole with adhesive tape will permit erasure and re-recording. When using Chrome or Metal tapes, make sure you do not cover the hole intended for the Auto Tape Selector operation.
Auto tape selector detection slots
The unit has a built-in Auto Tape Selector which automatically adjusts for the proper bias, level, and equalization according to the tape formulation all you have to do is to load a cassette and the Auto Tape Selector does the rest. The Auto Tape Selector determines which type of tape is loaded by sensing detect slots in the top of the tape shell. Each tape formulation has its own characteristic hole markings standardized by the tape industry. Early model Metal tape formulation cassette shells do not have the slots for Auto Tape selector operation. As a result, early model Metal type tapes recorded on another deck will be played back with the unit at the Chrome settings. YAMAHA does not recommend using this kind of tape. The unit does not have the required setting for Ferrichrome tape, since this tape formulation is not widely used. Should you use a Ferrichrome tape, it will be recorded and played back at the Normal settings which will result in an unnatural high frequency emphasis. TYPE II TYPE IV

Taking up slack in the tape
As a precaution against tape entanglement and damage, remove any slack in the tape before inserting cassettes into the deck. This is accomplished by inserting a pencil, pen, or similar object into one of the spools and gently winding it unit all the slack is removed. You do not have to wind it too tightly. Be careful not to touch the tape part itself. It is very delicate and touching it may damage the tape and its recorded contents.

Storing cassettes

After putting a cassette tape back into its case, store it in a location away from exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, high temperatures, and magnetic fields (away from television sets, speakers, etc.). High temperatures and humidity will damage the tape itself, while exposure to magnetic fields may cause a loss of recorded material. Avoid touching the tape surface with your finger, since dirt or finger oil will contaminate the decks heads.

Detector slots

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Maintenance

Internal care
Dirty heads, capstans, and pinch rollers can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with a commercially available cleaning tape. After long use, the decks heads and capstans may become magnetized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercially available tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizers instructions carefully before use.

Troubleshooting

If the 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 be corrected, 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. When taking the service, the CRX-M5 may be needed. For details, contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center.
