PRECAUTIONS

 

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING 

 

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

 

 WARNING

 

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical 
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage is 

printed on the name plate of the device.

• Use only the specified power supply (PW8 or an equivalent recommended by 

Yamaha). 

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and 

do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on 
it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything 
over it.

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify 

them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should 
appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected 
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, 

or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. 
If any liquid such as water seeps into the device, turn off the power immediately 
and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected 
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden 

loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke 
should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, 
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by 
qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• If this device or power supply should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn 

off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the 
device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

 

 CAUTION

 

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage 
to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for 

extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the 

plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or more people. 

Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in other 
injury, or cause damage to the device itself.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on 

the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may 
damage the speakers.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat 

(such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent 
the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall 

over.

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile 

phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device 
itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. 

Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to 
minimum.

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power 

amplifier LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power 
amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device.

• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any 

gaps or openings on the device. If this happens, turn off the power immediately 
and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected 
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not apply oil, grease, or contact cleaner to the faders. Doing so may cause 

problems with electrical contact or fader motion.

• Do not use the headphones or speakers for a long period of time at a high or 

uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you 
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use 

excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
