IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Explanation of Graphical Symbols
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol
within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

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 several of the devices are mounted in an EIA-compliant rack, carefully
read the section “Precautions when rack-mounting the unit” on page 9.
• 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 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.
(5)-6 1/2
Handling caution Backup battery
• 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 air conditioning 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
(ports, etc.).
•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into
any gaps or openings on the device (ports, 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 rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and
avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
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.
This device has a built-in backup battery that maintains data in internal
memory even when the device’s power is switched off. The backup battery will
eventually become depleted, however, and when that happens the contents of
the internal memory will be lost.* To prevent loss of data be sure to replace the
backup battery before it becomes fully depleted. When the remaining capacity
of the backup battery becomes so low that it needs to be replaced a “Low
Battery”, “Critical Battery” or “No Battery” message will appear on the display
during operation or when the device is powered on. If either of these
messages appears do not turn off the power and immediately transfer any data
you want to save to a computer or other external storage device, then have
qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery. The average
life of the internal backup battery is approximately 5 years, depending on
operating conditions.
* Data items maintained in the internal memory by the backup battery are as
follows:
• Current scene parameters and number.
• Device parameters (Device Setup, Utility, Network Setup, etc.).

For customers using the PC9500N, PC4800N, or PC3300N power amplifiers
If your system connects the PC9500N, PC4800N, or PC3300N power amplifiers to the ACD1, there may be cases in
which Amp Editor will not display the meters correctly for some power amplifiers. Please check whether this problem
has been corrected for the power amplifier you’re using. If not, please contact your Yamaha dealer.
[Checking for the correction]
If the two alphabetical characters at the beginning of the serial number label on the back of the power amp are IL, IM, IN, IO, IP,
IX, IY, IZ, or JH, and no green circular label is affixed immediately nearby it, then the product has not been corrected.
For customers using the T5n, T4n, or T3n power amplifiers
When monitoring or controlling the T5n, T4n, or T3n power amplifiers, set the GAIN switch of the T5n, T4n, or T3n to
[26 dB] to avoid clipping if you plan to input signals with a maximum input level of +24 dBu.
When the power amplifier is connected to the ACD1, the electronic volume control inside the amplifier will become
effective, and the maximum input level will become +18 dBu if the GAIN switch has been set to [32 dB].
