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/Fire 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.
• Do not place any burning items or open flames near the
product, since they may cause a fire.
Hearing loss
• 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,
or damage to the product or other property. These
precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Location and connection
• Do not place the product in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over and cause injuries.
• Keep the device 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 product, always use two or
more people. Attempting to lift the product by yourself may
damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to
the product itself.
• 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 from the cable, resulting in short circuiting,
malfunction, or even fire.
• If you use the pole socket for mounting a satellite speaker
using a speaker pole, carefully read the section “q Dual pole
sockets” on page 6. Use of any other size pole may cause the
product to fall, and result in injury or damage to the internal
components.
• Use only speaker cables. 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, etc.).
• When choosing a power amplifier for use with this product,
make sure that the output power of the amplifier is lower than
the power capacity of this product. If the output power is
higher than the power capacity, 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.
• Do not operate the product if the sound is distorting.
Prolonged use in this condition could cause overheating and
result in fire.
2 CXS series Owner’s Manual
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by
improper use or modifications to the product.
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 (such as in direct sunlight, near a
heater, or in a car during the day), in order to prevent the
possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or
damage to the internal components.
• Do not place the speaker face down with the grille
attached, as deformation of the grille may result.
• When placing the speaker face down, always place it on a
flat surface.
• Do not touch the speaker driver unit.
• Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance
(see page 7), particularly when connecting speakers in
parallel. Connecting an impedance load outside the amplifier's rated range can damage the amplifier.
• Protection Circuit
This speaker system has an internal protection circuit that
shuts off the speaker unit when an excessive input signal is
applied. If the speaker unit emits no sound, reduce the volume level of the amplifier immediately. The sound will
return automatically in several seconds.
• Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is normal, and often
occurs when the speaker is handling program material
with heavy bass content.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface
of the product. If water is left, the wooden parts may
absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any
water off immediately with a soft cloth.
Connectors
• Use only Neutrik NL4 plugs for connecting speakON connectors.
