WARNING:THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this main lead are coloured in accor-
dance with the following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW: EARTH
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the main lead of this apparatus may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
The GREEN-and-YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the
plug that is marked with the letter E or the safety earth symbol (or coloured
GREEN or GREEN-and-YELLOW).
The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the
letter N (or coloured BLACK).
The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal that is marked with
the letter L (or coloured RED).
This applies only to products distributed by Yamaha Kemble Music (U. K.) Ltd.
WARNING
Components having special characteristics are marked and
must be replaced with parts having specification equal to those
originally installed.
