Your SILENT Bass

TM

 will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple

rules given below:

 Location

Do not expose it to the following conditions to avoid

deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.

Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).

High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source,

outside, or in a car during the daytime).

Excessive humidity.

Excessive dust.

Strong vibration.

 Power Supply

Turn the power switch OFF when not in use.

If you use an AC power adaptor, unplug the

adaptor from the AC outlet if not to be used for an

extended period of time.

Unplug the AC power adaptor during electric

storms.

Avoid plugging the AC power adaptor into the

same AC outlet as appliances with high power

consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens.

Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these

can result in reduced sound quality and possibly

damage.

 Turn Power OFF When Making Connections

To avoid damage to the SILENT Bass

TM

 and other

devices to which it is connected (a sound system,

for example), turn the power switches of all

related devices OFF prior to connecting or

disconnecting audio cables.

 Handling and Transport

Never apply excessive force to the controls,

connectors or other parts.

Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly,

not by pulling on the cable.

Disconnect all cables before moving the unit.

Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or

placing heavy objects on the unit can result in

scratches and more serious damage.

 Cleaning

Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.

A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove

stubborn grime and dirt.

Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.

Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the unit

(vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).

 Electrical Interference

This unit contains electric circuitry and may cause

interference if placed too close to radio or

television receivers. If this occurs, move it further

away from the affected equipment.

Yamaha is not responsible for damage

caused by improper handling or operation.
