PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT
CAUTIONS
•
To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
•
Install your unit in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean
place – away from windows, heat sources, vibration,
dust, moisture, or cold. To avoid humming sounds,
locate the unit away from other electrical appliances,
motors, and transformers. To prevent fire or
electrical shock, do not expose to rain and water.
•
Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may
overheat, possibly causing damage.
•
Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the
set, contact your dealer.
•
Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords.
•
When not planning to use this unit for long periods
of time (i.e., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power
plug from the wall outlet.
•
Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be
taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit
is not defeated.
•
Do not clean the unit with chemical solvents; this
might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
•
Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on
common operating errors before concluding that
your unit is faulty.
•
Do not place another component on top of this unit,
as damage or discoloration on the surface of the unit
may result.
•
To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet during an electrical storm.
•
When disconnecting the power cord from the wall
outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.
•
Do not plug the AC power cord to the wall outlet
before you finish all connections.
•
The voltage to be used must be the same as that
specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher
voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and
may result in a fire or other type of accident causing
damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for
any damage resulting from use of this unit with a
voltage other than that which is specified.
•
Never allow metallic items (e. g. screwdrivers, tools,
etc.) to come near the record/playback head
assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or damage
the head’s mirror-smooth finish, but also change the
magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a
deterioration in reproduction quality.
•
Although the record/playback head used in this unit
is a high quality head with outstanding reproduction
characteristics, it can become dirty through the use of
old tapes or from dust accumulation over time.
This can have a serious effect on reproduction
quality.
Clean the heads regularly with one of the commonly
available head cleaners or with an appropriate
cleaning solution.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR (General model
only)
The voltage selector (on the rear panel of this unit)
must be correctly set to the voltage used locally
before making any connection to the AC power
supply.
