This unit is a sophisticated stereo tuner. To assure proper operation and the best possible performance, please read this manual carefully. IMPORTANT Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below. Model: Serial No.: The serial number is located on the rear of the unit. Retain this Owner's Manual in a safe place for future reference. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. For U.K. customers If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below. Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet. Special Instructions for U.K. Model IMPORTANT THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE: Blue: NEUTRAL Brown: LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug. 2. Choose the installation location for the unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from such sources of hum as transformers or motors. 3. Do not open the cabinet, because this may result in damage to the unit or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your local dealer. 4. When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet. 5. To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm. 6. When disconnecting the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug; never pull the cord itself. 7. Do not use force when operating switches and other controls. 8. When moving the unit, be sure to first disconnect the power plug and disconnect all wires connected from the unit to other equipment. 9. Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical solvents, because this may damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. 10. Be sure to read the "TROUBLESHOOTING" section of this manual for advice on common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty. 11. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power. 3 CONNECTIONS Never plug in this unit and other components until all connections are completed. ANTENNA CONNECTIONS q q Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement. Outdoor FM antenna Indoor FM antenna (included) Outdoor AM antenna AM loop antenna (included) FM ANT GND AM ANT 75 UNBAL. 75-ohm antenna adapter 300-ohm feeder 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter Ground 4 English Connecting the indoor FM antenna Connecting the AM loop antenna 1 2 2 3 1 3 Orient so that the best reception is obtained. * If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit. * The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit. Optional outdoor FM antenna Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna. The choice of the feeder cable is also important. Flat ribbonshaped twin-lead cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as feeder cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with that type of cable. * Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a 75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections. 300-ohm feeder cable 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm antenna adapter 300-ohm feeder cable 75-ohm coaxial cable Notes for FM antenna installation q To minimize automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible. q Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable. q The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures. Optional outdoor AM antenna In steel buildings or at a great distance from the transmitter, it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna. GND terminal For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth. 5 CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLIFIER q q Do not plug in this unit and the amplifier or other component until all connections are completed. Be sure that the connections from the left ("L") and right ("R") LINE OUT terminals are connected to the corresponding (left and right) input terminals of the amplifier or other component. q If you have a YAMAHA amplifier whose terminals on the rear panel are numbered as 1, 2, 3, etc., connections can be made easily by making sure to connect the LINE OUT terminals of this unit to the input terminals of the amplifier numbered 2.

It receives signals from a remote control transmitter provided with a YAMAHA amplifier or receiver. Remote control sensor Within approximately 6 m (19.7 feet) 30° 30° Notes q There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter and the main unit. q 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. 6 English CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS FRONT PANEL 1 2 3 4 5 NATURAL SOUND AM/FM STEREO TUNER TX-592RDS PRESET STATIONS 2 3 TUNING 1 4 STANDBY/ON 5 6 7 8 RDS MODE/FREQ PTY SEEK EON A/B/C/D/E MEMORY EDIT FM/AM TUNING MODE PTY SELECTOR MODE START MAN'L/AUTO FM AUTO/MAN'L MONO 6 7 8 9 0A B C D 1 STANDBY/ON switch Press this switch to turn the power to this unit on.
