receptacles, and the point where they exit from the 

apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/

accessories specified by the 

manufacturer.

12 Use only with the cart, stand, 

tripod, bracket, or table

When a cart is used, use 

caution when moving the cart/

apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or 

when unused for long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects 

have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has 

been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate 

normally, or has been dropped.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Yamaha and the Electronic Industries 
Association’s Consumer Electronics 
Group want you to get the most out of 
your equipment by playing it at a safe 
level. One that lets the sound come 
through loud and clear without 
annoying blaring or distortion – and, 
most importantly, without affecting 

your sensitive hearing. Since hearing damage from loud 
sounds is often undetectable until it is too late, Yamaha 
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer 
Electronics Group recommend you to avoid prolonged 
exposure from excessive volume levels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF 

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE 

COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-

SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER 

SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE 

PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with 
arrowhead symbol, within an 
equilateral triangle, is intended to 
alert you to the presence of 
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” 
within the product’s enclosure that 
may be of sufficient magnitude to 
constitute a risk of electric shock 
to persons.

The exclamation point within an 
equilateral triangle is intended to 
alert you to the presence of 
important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) 
instructions in the literature 
accompanying the appliance.

NOTICE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC 

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in aresidential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with 

the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or 

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to 

correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This equipment compiles with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC 

radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment 

has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). 

But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 20 cm and more between the radiator and person’s 

body.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
