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:
Power supply/Power cord
• 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.
If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the one you purchased,
the included power cord may not be compatible. Please check with your Yamaha
dealer.
• 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
• 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.
CAUTION
Water warning
• 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.
If any liquid such as water seeps into the device, turn off the power immediately
and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
If you notice any abnormality
• 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 device 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.
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:
Power supply/Power cord
• 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.
Location
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• When setting up the device, 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.
• If the device is mounted in an EIA standard rack, carefully read the section
“Precautions when rack-mounting the unit” on page 5. Inadequate ventilation
can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s),
malfunction, or even fire.
• Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated location. Make sure that
there is adequate space between the device and surrounding walls or other
devices: at least 5cm at the sides, 10cm behind and 10cm above. Inadequate
ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s),
or even fire.
• 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.
• Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the front and rear to
prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not
place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in
overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile
phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device
itself and in the TV or radio next to it.
• Do not place the device in a location where it may come into contact with
corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.

Connections
• 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.
•Turn off the power before connecting speakers, and use only the speaker cables
for connecting speakers to the speaker jacks.
Failure to do so can result in fire or electrical shock.
Handling caution
• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the device
LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the device should
be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient
temperature – when the device is moved from one location to another, or
airconditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while
condensation is present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that
condensation might have occurred, leave the device for several hours without
turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out.
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device
(vents).
•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any
gaps or openings on the device (vents) 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 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.
• 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.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device, or data that is lost or destroyed.
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 qualified Yamaha service
personnel about replacing defective components.

Precautions when rack-mounting the unit
Operation of this device is guaranteed for an environmental temperature range of 0 – 40°C. If you are mounting
only this device in an EIA standard rack, you may mount multiple units without leaving a space between them. If
you are mounting this device along with other types of device in an EIA standard rack, the ambient temperature
inside the rack may rise due to heat produced from the other devices, preventing this device from performing as
designed. To ensure that heat does not build up inside this device, you must observe the following conditions when
mounting it in a rack.
• If you mount this device in a rack together with heat-generating devices such as power amps made by other companies, you must leave 1U or more space between this device and other devices. You should also install a ventilation panel in this space or leave it open to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Leave the back of the rack open, and allow 10 cm or more distance between the rack and the wall or ceiling to
ensure adequate ventilation. If you are unable to leave the back of the rack open, you must install a commercially
available fan kit or other forced air circulating system to the rack. If you have installed a fan kit, there may be
cases in which closing the back of the rack will provide better cooling. For details, refer to the instructions that
came with the rack system or fan kit.
