A:AnswerThe CD player does not have an amplifier, so you would need to connect it to amplified or powered speakers.
Alternatively, you can connect the CD player to a receiver or a powered home entertainment center.
A:AnswerYou must download the music from your computer to a USB drive and then you can playback by inserting the USB drive into the cd player and pressing the cd/USB button.
A:AnswerThe unit plugs into an ac outlet. It comes with a remote that requires batteries that are included. I believe they are 2 AAA batteries. You can use the remote to play tracks or the buttons on the unit itself. Enjoy!
A:AnswerI did have an older “scratched CD that skipped when I got the unit. I applied the firmware update and the same CD worked fine afterwards. The firmware update was very easy to install.
A:AnswerGo to Yamaha's website and download the firmware update 1.53 to a blank USB drive. Then follow Yamaha's instructions to install. Its only about a 3 step process. Takes a couple of minutes. Best Buy might be able to do it for you but I don't know if they charge to do it.
A:AnswerYou can use the analog RCA connections on your receiver to the RCA terminals on the cd player. Usually red and white RCA cable for left and right channels. There are usually several sets of RCA terminals on the back of the receiver. Some are even marked as CD and or DVD inputs. You will need an RCA cable. They come in 3ft-6ft lengths so make sure it will reach. The cd player might even come with the cable.
