We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Yamaha and the Electronic Industries 
Association’s Consumer Electronics 
Group want you to get the most out of 
your equipment by playing it at a safe 
level. One that lets the sound come 
through loud and clear without 
annoying blaring or distortion – and, 
most importantly, without affecting 

your sensitive hearing. Since hearing damage from loud 
sounds is often undetectable until it is too late, Yamaha 
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer 
Electronics Group recommend you to avoid prolonged 
exposure from excessive volume levels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF 

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE 

COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-

SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER 

SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE 

PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with 
arrowhead symbol, within an 
equilateral triangle, is intended to 
alert you to the presence of 
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” 
within the product’s enclosure that 
may be of sufficient magnitude to 
constitute a risk of electric shock 
to persons.

The exclamation point within an 
equilateral triangle is intended to 
alert you to the presence of 
important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) 
instructions in the literature 
accompanying the appliance.
