material. If mounted, the screws may come out of the flimsy surface and the speakers may fall. This
damages the speakers or causes personal injury.

• Do not fasten the speaker to a wall with nails, adhesives, or any other unstable hardware. Long-term use
and vibrations may cause them to fall.

SYSTEME D’ENCEINTES

Mode d’emploi

Nous vous remercions d’avoir opté pour le système d’enceintes de Yamaha.

PRECAUTIONS

Lisez ces précautions attentivement avant d’utiliser votre enceinte:

• N’utilisez pas d’autres pieds d’enceinte que ceux
qui figurent dans la liste des “PIEDS D’ENCEINTE
EN OPTION” a la page suivant.

•Pour garantir les meilleures performances
possibles, lire ce manuel avec attention. Le garder
dans un endroit sûr pour une utilisation ultérieure.

• Installer cette enceinte dans un endroit frais, sec et
propre, loin de fenêtres, sources de chaleur et
d’endroits où les vibrations, la poussière, l’humidité
ou le froid sont importants. Eviter les sources de
bourdonnements (transformateurs, moteurs). Pour
éviter les risques d’incendie ou d’électrocution,
tenez les enceintes à l’écart de tout liquide et de
toute source d’éclaboussures.

•Pour éviter que le coffret se gondole ou se
décolore, ne pas placer l’enceinte à un endroit ou
elle sera exposée aux rayons directs du soleil ou à
une trop forte humidité.

• Ne posez jamais les objets suivants au-dessus
des enceintes:

1.

Verres, porcelaine, etc.
Si les verres, etc., tombent sous l’effet des
vibrations et se rompent, ceci risque de causer
des blessures.

2.

Une bougie allumée, etc.
Si la bougie tombe sous l’effet des vibrations,
ceci risque de causer un incendie et des
blessures.

3.

Un récipient contenant de l’eau
Si le récipient tombe sous l’effet des vibrations
et que l’eau se répand, ceci risque
d’endommager l’appareil et/ou de causer une
électrocution.

• Ne pas placer l’appareil dans un endroit où des
corps étrangers comme des gouttes d’eau peuvent
tomber à l’intérieur. Ceci peut causer un incendie,
des dommages à l’appareil et/ou une blessure
corporelle.

• Ne pas placer l’enceinte à un endroit où elle risque
d’être renversée ou percutée par des objets
tombants. Un endroit bien stable améliorera aussi
la qualité du son.

• Le propriétaire du système est entièrement
responsable du bon positionnement et de la bonne
installation du système. YAMAHA décline toute
responsabilité en cas d’accident causé par un
positionnement ou une installation inadéquats de
l’enceinte.

• Si vous remarquez que le son sature, diminuez
immédiatement le volume sur l’amplificateur.
Vérifiez que la puissance d’entrée ne dépasse pas
la puissance d’entrée maximum spécifiée, faute de
quoi les enceintes seront endommagées.

• Ne pas essayer de nettoyer cette enceinte avec
des diluants chimiques, ceci endommagerait le
fini. Utiliser un chiffon propre et sec.

• Ne pas essayer de modifier ni de réparer
l’enceinte. Contacter un dépanneur YAMAHA
qualifié en cas de nécessité de réparation. Le
coffret ne doit jamais être ouvert pour quelque
raison que ce soit.

• Bien que ce système d’enceintes comporte un
blindage magnétique, il pourrait provoquer une
distorsion de l’image si vous le placez trop près
d’un téléviseur. Dans ce cas, éloignez les
enceintes du téléviseur.

•

Le propriétaire du système est entièrement
responsable du bon positionnement et de la
bonne installation du système.
