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 to avoid prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.

This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 20 cm and more between the radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

FCC CAUTION

Change or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

–Keep the batteries in a location out of reach of children. Batteries can be dangerous if a child were to put in his or her mouth.

–If the batteries grow old, the effective operation range of the remote control decreases considerably. If this happens, replace the batteries with new one as soon as possible.

–Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

–Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these different types of batteries may have the same shape and color.

–Exhausted batteries may leak. If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

–If you plan not to use the unit for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the unit. Otherwise, the batteries will wear out, possibly resulting in a leakage of battery liquid that may damage the unit.

–Do not throw away batteries with general house waste. Dispose of them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.

22Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off by . In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION

CONNECTIONS

Connecting the speakers and antenna

Connect the speakers and antenna.

If FM/AM reception is poor, try changing the height or direction or placement of the antenna to find a location that has better reception.

If you use a commercially available outdoor antenna instead of the supplied antenna, reception may be better. AM radio is available only for U.S.A. model.

Do not connect this unit’s power cable until you’ve finished connecting all cables.

Speakers

•You must peel off the insulation (covering) from the tip of the speaker cable to expose the conductor.

•Check the connections; make sure that left and right (L, R) and polarity (red: +, black: –) are connected correctly. If connections are incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and the low frequencies may be insufficient. There might not be any sound at all if connections are incorrect.

•Take care that the conductors of the speaker cable do not touch each other, and that the conductors do not touch any other metal part. Such conditions can damage this unit or the speakers.

•Use only the supplied speakers. Using other speakers may result in unnatural sound.

•If you’re using this unit nearby a CRT display and you notice distorted color or noise in the display, move the speakers farther away from the display.

To the AC wall outlet

Twist the bare wires tightly so the individual strands are not splayed.
