The web page is contactable, but it is very low bandwidth.  It's on
WestNet, so that's kind of expected.  It's a Blivit (10 pounds of
crap in a 5 pound sack), so it's tiresome to use.

There is a feeback email address of (assuming you wait for it to display)
of info@yamaha.com.

The CDE100 isn't anywhere on their web pages (neither are their
motorcylcles or snowmobiles, for that matter).
