CAUTION
This content indicates “risk of injury.”
Power supply/power cord
• Do not use an AC outlet where the power plug fits loosely when inserted. Failure to observe
this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or burns.
• When removing the electric plug from the unit or an AC outlet, always hold the plug itself and
not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it and cause electric shocks or a fire.
• Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the AC outlet. Using the unit when it is not
plugged in sufficiently can cause dust to accumulate on the plug, causing a fire or burns.
Installation
• Do not place the unit in an unstable position where it might accidentally drop or fall over and
cause injuries.
• Do not block this unit's ventilation holes (cooling slits). This unit has ventilation holes on the
top/side/bottom to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. Failure to
observe this may trap heat inside the unit, causing a fire or malfunctions.
• When installing this unit:
- 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.
Failure to observe the above may trap heat inside the unit, causing a fire or malfunctions.
Ensure that there is adequate space around the unit: at least 30 cm (11-3/4 in) on top, 20 cm
(7-7/8 in) on the sides, and 20 cm (7-7/8 in) on the rear.
• Do not install the unit in places where it may come into contact with corrosive gases or salt
air. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Avoid being near the unit during a disaster, such as an earthquake. Since the unit may turn
over or fall and cause injury, quickly move away from the unit and go to a safe place.
• Before moving this unit, be sure to turn off the power switch and disconnect all connection
cables. Failure to observe this may damage the cables or cause you or someone else to trip
and fall.
• When transporting or moving the unit always use two or more people. Attempting to lift the
unit by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the unit
itself.
Hearing loss
• Do not use the unit/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.
• Before connecting the unit to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Also, before
turning the power of all devices on or off, make sure that all volume levels are set to the
minimum. Failing to do so may result in hearing loss, electric shock, or device damage.
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the unit LAST, to avoid
hearing loss and speaker damage. When turning the power off, the unit should be turned off
FIRST for the same reason. Failure to observe the above may cause hearing impairment or
speaker damage.
Maintenance
• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this
may cause electric shocks.
Handling caution
• Do not touch the surface having this label. Doing so may cause burns. The label
on the device indicates that the surface to which the label is attached may
become hot during operation.
• Do not insert your hand or fingers into the ventilation holes of this unit. Failure to observe this
may cause injury.
• Do not insert foreign materials such as metal or paper into the ventilation holes of this unit.
Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions. If foreign material
gets into the unit, immediately shut off the power and pull the power plug from the AC outlet
and request an inspection from the dealer where you purchased the unit or from qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
• Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your children may accidentally swallow them.
