Please read the following operating precautions before use. Yamaha will not be held responsible for any damage and/or
injury caused by not following the cautions below.
1.
To assure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
2.
Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place – away
from windows, sources of heat, sources of excessive
vibration, dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of
electrical humming (e.g., transformers and motors). To
prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the
speakers to rain or water.
3.
To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring,
do not expose the speakers to direct sunlight or
excessive humidity.
4.
Avoid installing the speakers where foreign objects may
fall onto them and/or where they may be exposed to
liquid dripping or splashing.
5.
Do not place the following objects on top of the
speakers:
– Other components, as they might damage or discolor
the surface of the speakers.
– Burning objects (e.g., candles), as they might cause
fire, damage to the speakers or personal injury.
– Containers of liquid, as they might spill and cause
electric shock to the user or damage to the speakers.
6.
Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be
knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound performance.
7.
Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the
turntable can result in feedback.
8.
Do not insert a hand or object into the port or pick up
the speaker by holding the port, as it may cause
personal injury or damage to the speaker.
9.
Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control
on your amplifier to lower setting. Never allow your
amplifier to be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise, the
speakers may be damaged.
10.
When using an amplifier with a rated output power
higher than the nominal input power of the speakers,
care should be taken not to exceed the maximum input
of the speakers.
11.
Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.
12.
Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact
qualified Yamaha service personnel when service is
needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any
reason.
13. Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility. Yamaha is not liable for accidents
caused by improper placement or installation of
speakers.
Precautions
Precautions when positioning the speakers
The speaker is constructed
with the majority of the
weight located in its upper
portion, and is thus
susceptible to falling over if
proper care is not taken to
ensure its stability. If the
speaker tips over, the
speaker or other personal property may be damaged
or an individual may be injured (possibly even
fatally injured).
For safe and proper use of the speaker:
• Position the speaker in a location that is solid,
level, smooth, and low (with respect to the floor).
• Do not push or apply pressure to the side of the
speaker when moving, or lean objects against the
side of the speaker.
• Do not sit on or set objects on top of the speaker.
Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and
other phenomena or activities may cause the speaker
to fall over. For safety reasons, using commercially-
available products that increase stability of the
speaker is recommended (metal fittings or chains,
etc.).
Taking care of the speaker
When you wipe this unit, do not use chemical solvents
(e.g., alcohol or thinners, etc.): this might damage the
finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. For difficult soils,
dampen a soft cloth in water, wring it out, and then
wipe with the cloth.
