PRECAUTIONS
When FM or AM stations are being received, signal noise may be
generated if the player is turned on. Turn off the player when not
in use. Also, if there is signal noise when receiving radio stations
with an indoor antenna, adjust the position or direction of the
antenna.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the play-
er if the player is brought from cool surroundings into
a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises
suddenly. When this happens, the player’s performance
will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the player stand in its new sur-
roundings for about an hour before switching it on, or
make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is
exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,
change the location of the player.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by
tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands
are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not
place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or
pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such a way that they are
not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire
or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord regularly.
When you find it damaged, ask your nearest authorized YAMAHA
service center or your dealer for a replacement.
CLEANING CARE
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth
in a weak detergent solution; wring well first and wipe. Use a dry
cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any volatile agents such as
benzine or paint thinner, as they may damage the surface of the
player.
Only one disc can be loaded at any one time. Loading
LaserDisc, Compact Disc, 8 cm Compact Disc or Com-
pact Disc with Video on top of one another may result
in a breakdown, or in scratching of the discs. Please
only load one disc at a time.
This player is to be used exclusively with the NTSC col-
or system. Please use NTSC LaserDiscs only. PAL and
SECAM system discs cannot be used with this player.
Abnormal functioning of this unit may be caused
by lightning, static electricity, or other external in-
ter-ference. To restore normal operation, unplug
the AC power cord and then plug it in again.
LD/CD lens cleaner
The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use,
but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, ask
your nearest authorized YAMAHA service center. Lens cleaners
for LD/CD players are commercially available, but special care should
be exercised in their use since some may cause damage to the
lens.
If it becomes necessary to transport or ship this unit in the
future, be sure to first remove the disc (if loaded), and re-
tract the disc table to its closed position. Then turn the
power off, and, after the “OFF” display goes out on the
display, disconnect the power cord.
INSTALLING THE PLAYER
÷
Place the player on a stable platform next to the television
and stereo system to be used with the player.
÷
Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV
monitor on top of the player.
÷
Do not place the player on top of your TV set or TV moni-
tor. Also, keep the player away from devices such as cassette
decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.
DO NOT INSTALL THE PLAYER IN THE FOLLOW-
ING LOCATIONS
÷
In a place subject to direct sunlight.
÷
In humid or poorly ventilated places.
÷
In extremely hot or cold places.
÷
In a place subject to vibrations.
÷
In a dusty place.
÷
In a place subject to soot, steam or heat (in a kitchen, etc.)
AVOID SOURCES OF HEAT
Do not put the player on sources of heat, such as an amplifier.
When installing with audio components on a rack, avoid compo-
nents that generate heat, by placing the player below such com-
ponents where there is adequate ventilation and not much dust.
Avoid placing the player on surfaces such as shaggy carpets, beds,
and sofas which may block ventilation under the player and cause
damage.
CAUTION
Even when the player is in the pause mode, the disc-drive motor is
still revolving. Since leaving the player in this condition can shorten
the lifetime of the motor, do not leave the player in the pause
mode for long periods of time. Also, to prevent the damage to the
screen, do not use the unit for long periods of time under condi-
tions in which the screen display (monitor) continuously displays
characters (for example, power-ON mode, CD PLAY, PAUSE or
DEMO mode).
With LD discs, if playback is paused for about 20 minutes, the
player will automatically enter stop mode.
STRIPE PATTERNS APPEARING ON A TV PRO-
GRAM
Stripe patterns may appear during a TV program if the player unit is
turned on, depending on the quality of reception of the TV sta-
tion. This is neither a malfunction of the television nor the player. If
stripes appear while watching the TV, or when watching the TV for
long periods of time, turn the player off.
