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:
If you notice any abnormality
• If any of the following problems occur, immediately turn off
the power of the amplifier.
- Unusual smells or smoke are emitted.
- Some object, or water has been dropped into the product.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the product.
- Cracks or other visible damage appear on the product.
Then have the product inspected or repaired by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Do not open
• This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not
attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in
any way.
Water warning
• Do not expose the product to rain, use it near water or in
damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such
as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might
spill into any openings.
Fire warning
• Do not place any burning items or open flames near the
product, since they may cause a fire.
Hearing loss
• 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 power amplifier LAST, to avoid hearing loss and
speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power
amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others.
These precautions include, but are not limited to, the
following:
Location and connection
• Do not place the product in an unstable position or a location
with excessive vibration, where it might accidentally fall over
and cause injury.
• Keep this product out of reach of children. This product is not
suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be
present.
• Do not place the product in a location where it may come into
contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in
malfunction.
• Before moving the product, remove all connected cables.
• When transporting or moving the CHR15, always use two or
more people. Attempting to lift the product by yourself may
result in injuries, such as back injuries, or cause the product
to be dropped and broken, which could lead to other injuries.
• Do not use the speaker’s handles for suspended installation.
Doing so can result in damage or injury.
• Do not hold the bottom of the product when transporting or
moving it. In doing so, you may pinch your hands under the
product, and result in injury.
• Do not press the rear panel of the product against the wall.
Doing so may cause the plug to come in contact with the wall
and detach the cable from the connector, resulting in short
circuiting, malfunction, or even fire.
• Always consult qualified Yamaha service personnel if the
product installation requires construction work.
Improper installation might cause accidents, injuries,
damage or malfunction of this product.
• Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the
speaker jacks. Use of other types of cables may result in fire.
Handling caution
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings
on the product (ports).
• Do not rest your weight on the product or place heavy objects
on it.
• Make sure that the output power of the amplifier is lower than
the power capacity of this product (see page 108).
If the output power is not appropriate, malfunction or fire may
occur.
• Do not input excessively loud signals that may result in
clipping in the amplifier or cause the following:
- Feedback, when using a microphone
- Continuous and extremely loud sound from a musical
instrument, etc.
- Continuous and excessively loud distorted sound
- Noise caused by plugging/unplugging the cable while the
amplifier is turned on
Even if the output power of the amplifier is lower than the
power capacity of this product (program), damage to the
product, malfunction or fire may occur.

NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to the product or
damage to other property, follow the notices below.
Handling and maintenance
• Do not expose the product to excessive dust or vibration,
or extreme cold or heat, in order to prevent the possibility
of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to
the internal components.
• Do not touch the speaker driver unit, since it might cause
malfunction.
• Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance
(see page 108), particularly when connecting speakers in
parallel. Connecting an impedance load outside the amplifier's rated range can damage the amplifier.
• When cleaning the product, use a dry and soft cloth. Do
not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths, since this might cause
alteration or discoloration.
• Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports (hole or holes at the
front) is normal, and often occurs when the speaker is handling program material with heavy bass content.
• Do not place the speaker face down.

Protective Circuit
• All full-range loudspeakers are fitted with a self-resetting
poly switch that protects the high-frequency driver from
damage caused by excessive power. If a loudspeaker
cabinet loses high-frequency output, immediately remove
power from the power amplifier and wait for two to three
minutes. This should be long enough to allow the poly
switch to reset. Reapply power and check the performance of the high-frequency driver before continuing, with
the power reduced to a level that does not cause the poly
switch to interrupt the signal.
