18Grounding or Polarization – Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization is not defeated.

19For US customers only:

Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is connected to this unit, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime (for US customers only)

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.

CAUTION : READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

1.To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

2.Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or water.

3.Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer.

4.Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the wires themselves.

5.The openings on the cabinet assure proper ventilation of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the cabinet will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the unit in wellventilated condition. Be sure to allow a space of at least 10 cm behind, 10 cm on the both sides and 20 cm above the top panel of the unit. Otherwise it may not only damage the unit, but also cause fire.

6.Always set the VOLUME control to “– ” before starting the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after playback has been started.

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 regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

9.When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

10.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

11.Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of an appliance is not defeated.

12.Do not connect audio equipment to the AC outlet on the rear panel if the equipment requires more power than the outlet is rated to provide.

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. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below.

Battery replacement

If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.

Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)

Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time.

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

Notes

There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter and the main unit.

If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.
