• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. 

Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to 
minimum.

• Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker jacks. Use of 

other types of cables may result in fire.

• Be sure to connect to a properly grounded power source. A ground screw is 

provided on the rear panel of this device for maximum safety and shock 
prevention. If the mains outlet is not grounded, be sure to connect the ground 
screw to a confirmed ground point before plugging the device into the mains. 
Improper grounding can result in electrical shock.

(vents, etc.).

• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any 

gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.) If this happens, turn off the power 
immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the 
device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not use the device 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.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use 

excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not use this device for any purpose other than driving loudspeakers.

Always turn the power off when the device is not in use. 

The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualifi ed Yamaha service 
personnel about replacing defective components.
