PRECAUTIONS

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:

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The 

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

• Use only the included 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.

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

grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in 
electrical shock.

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal 

parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no 
user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be 
malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it 
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp 

or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids 
which might spill into any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if 

there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if 
any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, 
immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric 
plug from the outlet, and have the idevice inspected 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 Yamaha 
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:

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

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

• 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.

• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or 

more people.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the product, 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, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum 
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, 
make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their 

maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected 
devices, doing so may cause feedback and may damage the 
speakers.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or 

extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, 
or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel 
disfiguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might 

accidentally fall over.

• Never block the vent holes during use. Vent holes are located 

on the top, bottom, front, rear, and sides of this machine. All 
vent holes must remain unblocked to prevent overheating.

To further ensure adequate ventilation, never use this device…

- Upside down or on its side

- In a poorly ventilated location (in a closet, inside a 

bookcase, etc.)

- With its rubber footpads removed

- On a thick carpet or other such surface

- While it is inside an unventilated touring case

Failure to observe the above precautions may cause the 
device to overheat, resulting in equipment damage and fire 
hazard.

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo 

equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, 
the device, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• 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.

• Do not insert your finger or hand in any gaps or openings on 

the device (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 or headphones 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.
