We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association's
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud
and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion – and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive hearing. Since
hearing damage from loud sounds is often
undetectable until it is too late, YAMAHA and
the Electronic Industries Association's
Consumer Electronics Group recommend
you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
volume levels.

Want You

LISTENING

For A Lifetime

CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE

OPERATING YOUR UNIT

1 To ensure the finest performance, please read this

manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.

2 Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from

windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust,
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers,
motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not
expose to rain and water.

3 Do not operate the unit upside-down.

4 Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into

the set, contact your dealer.

5 Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation.

Do not interfere with its proper ventilation; this will cause
the internal temperature to rise and may result in a
failure.

6 Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When

moving the set, first turn the unit off. Then gently
disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to
other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.

7 Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents:

this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

8 Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on

common operating errors before concluding that your
unit is faulty.

9 This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when

the power switch is turned off. We recommend that you
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is
not going to be used for a long time. This will save
electricity and help prevent fire hazards. To disconnect
the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the
cord itself.

10 To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord

and remove the antenna cable during an electrical
storm.

11 The general digital signals may interfere with other

equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the
system farther away from such equipment if interference
is observed.
