IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INFORMATION RELATING TO PERSONAL INJURY, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND FIRE HAZARD POSSIBILITIES HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS LIST.

WARNING- When using any electrical or electronic product, basic precautions should always be followed. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Read all Safety Instructions, Installation Instructions, Special Message Section items, and any Assembly Instructions found in this manual BEFORE making any connections, including connection to the main supply.

2. Do not attempt to service this product beyond that described in the user-maintenance instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

3. Main Power Supply Verification: Yamaha products are manufactured specifically for the supply voltage in the area where they are to be sold. If you should move, or if any doubt exists about the supply voltage in your area, please contact your dealer for supply voltage verification and (if applicable) instructions. The required supply voltage is printed on the name plate. For name plate location, please refer to the graphic found in the Special Message Section of this manual.

4. DANGER-Grounding Instructions: This product must be grounded and therefore has been equipped with a three pin attachment plug. If this product should malfunction, the ground pin provides a path of low resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. If your wall socket will not accommodate this type plug, contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced in accordance with local electrical codes. Do NOT modify the plug or change the plug to a different type!

5. WARNING: Do not place this product or any other objects on the power cord or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over power or connecting cords of any kind. The use of an extension cord is not recommended! If you must use an extension cord, the minimum wire size for a 25' cord (or less) is 18 AWG. NOTE: The smaller the AWG number, the larger the current handling capacity. For longer extension cords, consult a local electrician.

6. Ventilation: Electronic products, unless specifically designed for enclosed installations, should be placed in locations that do not interfere with proper ventilation. If instructions for enclosed installations are not provided, it must be assumed that unobstructed ventilation is required.

7. Temperature considerations: Electronic products should be installed in locations that do not seriously contribute to their operating temperature. Placement of this product close to heat sources such as; radiators, heat registers etc., should be avoided.

8. This product was NOT designed for use in wet/damp locations and should not be used near water or exposed to rain. Examples of wet /damp locations are; near a swimming pool, spa, tub, sink, or wet basement.

9. This product should be used only with the components supplied or; a cart ,rack, or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. If a cart, rack, or stand is used, please observe all safety markings and instructions that accompany the accessory product.

10. The power supply cord (plug) should be disconnected from the outlet when electronic products are to be left unused for extended periods of time. Cords should also be disconnected when there is a high probability of lightening and/or electrical storm activity.

11. Care should be taken that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through any openings that may exist.

12. Electrical/electronic products should be serviced by a qualified service person when:

a.The power supply cord has been damaged; or

b.Objects have fallen, been inserted, or liquids have been spilled into the enclosure through openings; or

c.The product has been exposed to rain; or

d.The product does not operate, exhibits a marked change in performance; or

e.The product has been dropped, or the enclosure of the product has been damaged.

13.This product, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speaker/s, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. DO NOT operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.

IMPORTANT: The louder the sound, the shorter the time period before damage occurs.

14. Some Yamaha products may have benches and/or accessory mounting fixtures that are either supplied as a part of the product or as optional accessories. Some of these items are designed to be dealer assembled or installed. Please make sure that benches are stable and any optional fixtures (where applicable) are well secured BEFORE using.

Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha DG Series Guitar Amplifier.

The DG Series Digital Guitar Amplifiers were initially conceived and entirely developed by Yamaha. These digital guitar amps deliver powerful tube amp sounds and offer superior stability compared to other tube amplifiers. With eight different amp type settings from which to choose, the DG Series Guitar Amplifiers allow you to create a wide variety of original sounds. A total of 128 sound settings can be stored in their internal memory and freely recalled using the panel buttons or a MIDI foot controller. Also, the DG Series Guitar Amplifiers are equipped with four on-board digital effects (reverb, tremolo, chorus and tape echo) that can be utilized to add sonic color to your tonal creations, and a speaker simulator to add realistic speaker simulation to the line out signal. Its high level of quality and easy to use controls will enable you to create a wide variety of tonal colors.

The S412V enclosure is equipped with four 30 cm Celestion “Vintage 30” speakers and has a power rating of 240 watts.

The S112 enclosure is equipped with a 30 cm Celestion “G12H-100” speaker and has a power rating of 100 watts.

To get the best results and longest life out of your DG Series Guitar Amplifier, we recommend that you carefully read this manual, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Precautions

●Avoid using your amplifier and speaker in the following locations to prevent possible damage:

•In direct sunlight or next to heating equipment.

•Extremely cold or hot locations.

•Locations exposed to high humidity or excessive dust.

•Locations subject to strong shocks or vibration.

●Before making any connections, make sure that the power on the amplifier and any external devices is switched OFF.

●To protect the speaker from possible damage, always set the OUTPUT knob to “0” before switching the power ON/OFF.

●When connecting a speaker to this unit make sure to turn OFF the power first.

●Do not apply excessive force to the switches and controls.

●Your Yamaha guitar amplifier is a precision musical instrument. Handle it with care and avoid dropping or bumping it.

●Operating temperatures will rise during use. Make sure the amplifier is used in a well-ventilated area. The DG130HA should be placed in a position were there is at least 30 cm (12”) clearance from the wall on the sides, top and back of the amplifier.

●For safety, always remove the power plug from the AC wall outlet if there is any danger of lightning striking in your area.

●Keep the amplifier away from neon signs or fluorescent lighting to prevent noise pickup.

●To prevent damage and possibly electrical shock, never open the case and tamper with the internal circuitry.

●Never use benzene, thinner or other volatile liquids for cleaning, as these chemicals may cause damage or discoloration to the finish. Always use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

About the Backup Battery

(DG series Guitar Amplifiers)

A backup battery (lithium battery) is used to keep internal data

(settings) from being lost, even when the power cord is unplugged.

Internal data will be lost when battery power is depleted, so it is recommended that data be stored to an external data recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 (→ page. 12), or keep records of settings in memo form. The average battery life span is about 3 years. When replacement becomes necessary contact the music store where the unit was purchased, or a qualified service representative, to perform the replacement.

•Do not attempt to replace the backup battery by yourself.

•Keep the backup battery out of reach of children.

•“E6” appears in the display when the battery becomes depleted. Internal data may be lost.

•Data may be lost if the unit is improperly handled or if repairs are performed.
