PRECAUTIONS

Read this before using the speaker.

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

• Install the speaker 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 speaker to rain or
water.

• To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do
not place the speaker where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight or excessive humidity.

• Do not place the following objects on the speaker:
Glass, china, etc.

If glass etc. falls by vibrations and breaks, it may cause
personal injury.

A burning candle etc.

If the candle falls by vibrations, it may cause fire and
personal injury.

A vessel with water in it

If the vessel falls by vibrations and water spills, it may
cause damage to the speaker, and/or you may get an
electric shock.

• Do not place the speaker where foreign objects such as
water drips might fall. It might cause a fire, damage to
the speaker, and/or personal injury.

• Do not place the speaker where it is liable to be knocked
over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will
also ensure better sound performance.

Speaker System

• Placing the speaker on the same shelf or rack as the
turntable can result in feedback.

• Never put a hand or a foreign object into the port located
on the rear of the speaker as this might cause personal
injury and/or damage to the speaker.

• When moving the speaker, do not hold the port as it
might cause personal injury and/or damage to the
speaker.

• Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control
on your amplifier to a lower setting. Never allow your
amplifier to be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise the
speaker may be damaged.

• When using an amplifier with a rated output power
higher than the nominal input power of the speaker, care
should be taken never to exceed the speaker’s
maximum input.

• Do not attempt to clean the speaker with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.

• Do not attempt to modify or fix the speaker. Contact
qualified YAMAHA service personnel when any service
is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any
reasons.

• Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused
by improper placement or installation of the speaker.

WARNING

• This speaker weighs 6.0 kg (13.4 lbs.). Do not

mount it on thin plywood or a wall with soft
surface material. If mounted, the screws may come
out of the flimsy surface and the speaker may fall.
This damages the speaker or causes personal
injury.

• Do not install the speaker to a wall with nails,

adhesives, or any other unstable hardware. Long­term use and vibrations may cause it to fall.

• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over

loose speaker cable, fix it to the wall.

Note
This speaker features a magnetically shielded design,
but there is still a chance that placing it too close to a
TV set might impair picture color or create a buzzing
noise. Should this happen, move the speaker away
from the TV set.
