How to Use This Manual
This manual describes three YAMAHA receivers, RX-385, RX-385 RDS and RX-485 RDS. There are some differences between
those three models. Especially, RX-385 RDS and RX-485 RDS contain the functions for receiving special data on RDS network
stations.
RX-385, on the other hand, is a receiver with a usual FM/AM tuning function.
Several places in the manual refer to differences in features between the three models. Be sure to follow the procedure for the
model you are using.
* RDS is a data transmitting service system in network which is employed by FM stations. RDS stations are increasing in many
countries (especially in Europe).

CONNECTIONS
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
●
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.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS
RX-485 RDS and RX-385 RDS only
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 AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program
Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc.
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.
* This unit utilizes AF, PI, PS and PTY to receive RDS broadcast stations.
Displaying RDS data
This unit can be turned into the following two modes to display RDS data.
PS (Program Service station name) mode:
BBC R3
Displays the name of the RDS station now being received instead of the frequency.
PTY (Program Type name) mode:
Displays the program type of the RDS station now being received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations as follows.

SYMPTOM
CAUSE
REMEDY
The unit fails to turn on when the POWER
switch is pressed.
Power cord is not plugged in or is not completely
inserted.
Firmly plug in the power cord.
No sound.
Incorrect output cord connections.
Connect the cords properly. If the problem persists,
the cords may be defective.
Appropriate input selector button is not pressed.
Press the appropriate input selector button
corresponding to the input source.
The sound suddenly goes off.
The protection circuit has activated because of
short circuit etc.
Turning the unit off and then on will reset the
protection circuit.
Only one side speaker outputs the sound.
Incorrect setting of the BALANCE control
Incorrect cord connection.
Adjust it to the appropriate position.
Connect the cord properly. If the problem persists,
the cables may be defective.
Sound “hums”.
Incorrect cord connections.
Firmly connect the audio plugs. If the problem
persists, the cord may be defective.
No connection from the turntable to the GND
terminal.
Make the GND connection between the turntable
and this unit.
The volume level is low while playing a record.
The record is being played on a turntable with an
MC cartridge.
The player should be connected to the receiver
through the MC head amplifier.
The volume level cannot be increased, or
sound is distorted.
The power to the component connected to the REC
OUT terminals of this unit is off.
Turn the power to the component on.
FM stereo reception is noisy.
Because of the characteristics of FM stereo
broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the
transmitter is too far or the antenna input is poor.
Check the antenna connections.
Try using a multiple element FM antenna.
There is distortion and clear reception cannot
be obtained even with a good FM antenna.
There is multipath interference.
Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath
interference.
A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto
tuning.
The station is too weak.
Use Manual tuning mode.
Use high quality directional FM antenna.
A desired station cannot be tuned in with Auto
tuning.
Weak signal or loose antenna connections.
Use Manual tuning mode.
Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and
rotate it for best reception.
There are continuous crackling and hissing
noises.
Noises will result from ligtning, fluorescent lamps,
motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment.
Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This
will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all
noises.
There are buzzing and whining noises
(especially in the evening).
A television set is being used nearby.
Relocate this unit away from the TV.
The remote control transmitter does not work.
Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of
flourescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control
sensor of the main unit.
Change position of the main unit.
The batteries of this remote control transmitter are
too weak.
Replace the batteries with new ones.
Turn the power to this unit on.
The sound is degraded when monitoring is
performed by using the headphones connected
to the compact disc player or cassette deck
which are connected with this unit.
The power to this unit is off.
