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/power cord

• 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 cor ect for the device. The 

required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the 

one you purchased, the included power cord may not be 

compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.

• 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. When installing in a rack, connect an AC power strip to 

make power on/off operations easier and more convenient. 

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not 

to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical 

storms.

• Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective 

grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in 

electrical shock, damage to the device(s), or even fi e.

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  amaha 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 volume controls 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 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.

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

turn on the device LAST, to avoid hearing loss and speaker 

damage. When turning the power off, the device 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 fi e.

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 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  amaha 

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/power cord

• 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 block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the 

top/sides to prevent the internal temperature from becoming 

too high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or 

upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, 

possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fi e.

• When attempting to dissipate heat on the device, when 

installing it:

– Do not cover it with any cloth. 

– Do not install it on a carpet or rug. 

– Make sure the top surface faces up; do not install on its 

sides or upside down. 

– Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated

location. 

Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly 

causing damage to the device(s), or even fi e. Make sure that 

there is adequate space around the device: at least 10cm 

above, 10cm at the sides and 10cm behind.

• 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
