We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

(for US customers only)

YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring
or distortion – and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive hearing. Since hearing
damage from loud sounds is often undetectable
until it is too late, YAMAHA and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics
Group recommend you to avoid prolonged

1 To ensure the finest performance, please read this manual

carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

2 Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from

windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust,
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers,
motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose
to rain and water.

3 Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may overheat,

possibly causing damage.

4 Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the

set, contact your dealer.

5 Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When

moving the set, first turn the unit off. Then gently
disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to
other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.

6 Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents;

this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

7 Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section on

common operating errors before concluding that your unit
is faulty.

8. Do not place another component on top of this unit,

because to do so will discolor or damage the surface of
the unit.

9. To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power

cord from the household AC outlet during an electrical
storm.

10. When disconnecting the power cord from the household

AC outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.

11. When moving the unit, be sure to first disconnect the

power cord from the household AC outlet, and disconnect
cords connected to other equipment.
