OUTLETS is 200 watts. Strictly be careful not to exceed this  
value.  
The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s  
POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s  
POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any  
component whenever this unit is turned on.  
REMOTE CONTROL (POWER AMP)  
connector  
If you have the YAMAHA power amplifier MX-1 or MX-2,  
connect this connector to the REMOTE CONTROL (PRE  
AMP) connector of the power amplifier by using the provided  
cable. By this connection, the power of the power amplifier is  
controlled by this unit’s POWER switch or the provided remote  
control transmitter’s POWER key.  
After the connection is completed, keep the POWER switch of  
the power amplifier pressed inward (to the ON position).  
Note  
If you will not connect the REMOTE CONTROL connectors of  
this unit and the power amplifier, do not connect the cable to  
either connector.

This control is adjustable to retain full tonal range at any  
volume level.  
Using the PURE DIRECT switch  
You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio  
sources by setting this switch so that the indicator above the  
INPUT selector on the front panel illuminates. By doing so, the  
audio signal bypasses the LOUDNESS (for CX-2 only), BASS,

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.

REMOTE CONTROL “LEARNING” FUNCTION  
(U.S.A., Canada and General models of CX-2 only)  
The keys on this remote control transmitter can be programmed to “learn” key-functions from other remote control transmitters  
without losing the preset key functions. By using this feature, this unit can then be used in place of one or more other remote control  
transmitters, thus making operation of your various audio and video components more convenient. Use the included user program  
sheets to indicate a new function learned for each key.  
Note  
There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote control  
transmitter, this unit will not be able to “learn” its signals.

To Learn a New Function  
Notes  
When you operate the desired component with this remote  
1
control transmitter, TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash  
steadily.  
The originally preset function of a key is still available in the  
USER position if a new function has not been learned to the  
key.  
Successful learning to a key results in the erasure of  
previously learned functions and their replacement by the  
newly learned ones.  
If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to  
be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash two  
times. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with  
functions from other remote control transmitters, no further  
learning is possible.  
Set to the “LEARN” position.

learned.

All of the learned functions will be retained while you replace  
the batteries. However, if no batteries are installed for a few  
hours, the learned functions will be erased and will have to be  
learned again.  
Other remote  
control transmitter  
About 5–10 cm (2–4 in.)  
Trouble shooting guide  
If learning cannot be made successfully, or if this remote  
control transmitter does not function even though the  
learning was successful, check the following points:  
* Check whether the batteries of the other remote control  
transmitter are weak.  
3
Press and hold the key (on the other remote control  
transmitter) where the desired new function is.  
Note that even though its batteries may be strong enough  
to operate the component it was made for, they may be  
too weak to transfer signals to this unit. If so, replace the  
batteries of the other remote control transmitter.  
* Check whether the distance between the two remote  
control transmitters is too long or too short.  
Illuminates  
The remote control transmitter’s batteries are too weak if the  
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator does not illuminate or flash, or  
if the distance or range within which the remote control  
transmitter can be used decreases.  
If either occurs, replace the batteries with new ones.  
* When the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator stops illuminating,  
the learning is finished.
