direct sunlight, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, and/or 
cold.

 

3

 

Locate this system away from other electrical appliances, 
motors, or transformers to avoid humming sounds. To prevent 
fire or electrical shock, do not place this system where it may 
be exposed to dripping or splashing, and never put any objects 
filled with liquids, such as vases, on top of the system.

 

4

 

Do not expose this system to sudden temperature changes from 
cold to hot. Do not locate this system in an environment with 
high humidity (i.e., a room with a humidifier) to prevent 
condensation inside this system, which may cause electrical 
shock, fire, damage to this system, and/or personal injury.

 

5

 

Avoid installing this system in a place where foreign objects 
or liquid might fall. Otherwise, fire, damage to the system, 
and/or personal injury may result. Do not place the following 
objects on this system:
– Other components, as they may cause damage and/or 

discoloration of the surface of the system.

– Burning objects (i.e., candles) as they may cause fire, 

damage to the system, and/or personal injury.

– Containers of liquid, as they may leak or spill and cause 

electrical shock to the user and/or damage to this system. 

 

6

 

Do not cover this system with a newspaper, tablecloth, 
curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If the 
temperature inside this system rises, it may result in fire, 
damage to the system, and/or personal injury.

 

7

 

Do not plug this system into a wall outlet until all 
connections are complete.

 

8

 

Do not operate this system upside-down. It may overheat, 
possibly causing damage.

 

9

10

 

When disconnecting the power cable from a wall outlet, 
grasp the plug; do not pull the cable.

 

11

 

Do not clean this system with chemical solvents; they might 
damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

 

12

 

Only the voltage specified on this system may be used. Using 
this system with a voltage higher than specified is dangerous 
and may cause fire, damage to the system, and/or personal 
injury. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any 
damage resulting from use of this system with a voltage other 
than specified.

 

13

 

To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power cable 
from the wall outlet during an electrical storm.

 

14

 

Take care of this system to prevent foreign objects and/or 
liquid drops from entering the system.

 

15

 

When using a humidifier, avoid condensation inside the 
system by allowing sufficient space around the system. Avoid 
excess humidification. Condensation might cause a fire, 
damage to the system, and/or electric shock.

 

16

 

Do not attempt to modify or fix this system. Contact qualified 
YAMAHA service personnel when any service is needed. 
The cabinet should never be opened for any reason.

 

17

 

When not planning to use this system for a long period of 
time (i.e., vacation), disconnect the AC power plug from the 
wall outlet.

 

18

 

Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section for 
information on common operating errors before concluding 
that this system is faulty.

 

19

 

Before moving this system, press STANDBY/ON to place 
the system in standby mode, and disconnect the AC power 
plug from the wall outlet.

 

20

 

Be sure to only use the AC adaptor (LSE9802B1540) 
included with this system. Otherwise, you might cause a fire 
or damage to this system.

 

 

For U.K. customers

 

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug 
supplied with this appliance, the plug should be removed and an 
appropriate 3-pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions 
below.

A plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug
with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket
outlet.
