CAUTION

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:

4 DSR112/DSR115/DSR215/DSR118W Owner’s Manual

• 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.

• If you use the pole socket on the DSR118W for mounting of the DSR112 or
DSR115, use a pole no longer than 90cm (35-7/16") with an outer diameter of
35mm (1-3/8"). Use of any other size pole may cause the device to fall, and
result in injury or damage to the internal components. Mounting a speaker
other than the DSR112 or DSR115 may cause the speaker to fall, and result in
damage to the speaker.

• Always consult qualified Yamaha service personnel if the device installation
requires construction work, and make sure to observe the following
precautions.

- Choose mounting hardware and an installation location that can support the
weight of the device.

- Do not use a wall mounting bracket.

- Avoid locations that are exposed to constant vibration.

- Inspect the device periodically.

• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or more people.
Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in other
injury, or cause damage to the device itself.

• Do not hold the bottom of the device when transporting or moving it. In doing
so, you may pinch your hands under the device, and result in injury.

• 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.

• Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated location. Make sure that
there is adequate space between the device and surrounding walls or other
devices: at least 30cm at the sides, 30cm behind and 30cm above. Inadequate
ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s),
or even fire.

• Do not press the rear panel of the device against the wall. Doing so may cause
the plug to come in contact with the wall and detach from the power cord,
resulting in short circuiting, malfunction, or even fire.

• Do not suspend the speaker sideways. Doing so may cause the device to
topple, potentially resulting in damage or in injury.

• Do not use the speaker’s handles for suspended installation. Doing so can
result in damage or injury.

Handling caution

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 place the device in a location where it may come into contact with
corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices.
Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to
minimum.

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the device
LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the device should
be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

• 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.

• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any
gaps or openings on the device. 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 use the device for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable
volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience
any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting. Prolonged use in this
condition could cause overheating and result in fire.

• 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.

• Do not pull on any attached cable, such that of a microphone. Doing so may
cause the speaker to topple, and result in damage or in injury.

XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).

Interference From Cell Phones

Using a cell phone near the speaker system can induce noise. If this occurs, move the cell phone further away from the speaker system.

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.

D-CONTOUR is a newly developed three-band multiband
compressor. It dynamically adjusts the level of each fre­quency range according to the volume of speaker outputs. It
boosts the high and low frequencies when the volume level is
low, and it reduces the amount of boost when the volume
level is high. So that it delivers powerful sound tailored to hu­man hearing. For example, this is useful for dance music,
etc., if you want to emphasize the rhythm.
