To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully.  Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place – away from
windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust,
moisture and cold.  Avoid sources of humming
(transformers, motors).

To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the
speakers to rain or water.

To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not
place the speakers where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight or excessive humidity.

Do not place the speakers where it is liable to be knocked
over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also
ensure better sound performance.

Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the
turntable can result in feedback.

Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control on
your amplifier to a lower setting. Never allow your amplifier
to be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise the speakers may be
damaged.

When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher
than the nominal input power of the speakers, care should
be taken never to exceed the speakers’ maximum input.

As these speakers contain strong magnets (though all of
them are magnetically shielded types), avoid placing
watches, magnetic tapes, etc. near them. Also, placing the
speakers near a TV set may impair picture color. If this
happens, move the speakers away from TV set.

Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical
solvents; this might damage the finish.  Use a clean, dry
cloth.

Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused by
improper placement or installation of the speakers.

For canadian customers

To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide
slot and fully insert.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian 
ICES–003.

<

For SW-P30 only

>

Never open the cabinet.  If something drops into the set,
contact your dealer.

Do not use force on switches, controls or connection cords.
When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and
the cords connected to other equipment. Never pull the
cords itself.

Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section
regarding common operating errors before concluding that
the unit is faulty.

When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time
(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the
wall outlet.

To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug
when there is an electrical storm.

Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate
from the rear panel. Therefore, place the unit apart from the
walls, allowing enough space above, behind and on the both
sides of the unit to prevent fire and damage. Also, do not
position with the rear panel facing down on the floor or other
surface.

<

For Europe and Singapore models only

>

Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm above, behind
and on the both sides of the unit.

Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may cause
a turntable to generate a howling sound. In such a case,
move this unit away from the turntable.

If you hear distortion (i.e., unnatural, intermittent “rapping” or
“hammering” sounds) coming from this unit, reduce the
volume level. Extremely loud playing of a movie
soundtrack’s low frequency, bass-heavy sounds or similarly
loud popular music passages can damage this speaker
system.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as
long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit
itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode.
In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small
quantity of power.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

After unpacking, check that the following parts are contained.
