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:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
• 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.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.
• Use the specified adaptor only. Using the wrong adaptor
can result in damage to the device or overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or
dust which may have accumulated on it.
• When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet
you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or
malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch
and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the
power switch is turned off, as long as the power cord is not
unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the device will not be
disconnected from the power source.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is
not to be used for extended periods of time, or during
electrical storms.
Do not open
• This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open
the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. If it should appear to be
malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Water warning
• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in
damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such
as vases, bottles or glasses) 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.
Hearing loss
• Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their
maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected
devices, doing so may result in feedback that can cause
hearing loss and damage the speakers.
• Do not use headphones 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.
• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the
power for all devices. Also, before turning the power of all
devices on or off, make sure that all volume levels are set to
the minimum. Failing to do so may result in hearing loss,
electric shock, or device damage.
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always
turn on the power amplifier LAST, to avoid hearing loss and
speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power
amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
Fire warning
• Do not place any burning items or open flames near the
device, since they may cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
• If any of the following problems occur, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the
outlet.
- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
- Unusual smells or smoke are emitted.
- Some object has been dropped into the device.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device.
- Cracks or other visible damage appear on the device.
Then have the device inspected or repaired by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
• If this device or the AC power adaptor 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:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
• Do not cover or wrap the AC power adaptor with a cloth or
blanket.
• 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.
Location
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over and cause injuries.
• Do not place the device in a location where it may come into
contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result
in malfunction.
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
Maintenance
• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning
the device.
