1. Precautions

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/power cord

•Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or

place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

•Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.

•Use the specified adaptor (page 7) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the device or overheating.

•Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the one you purchased, the included power cord may not be compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.

•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

•When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, as long as the power cord is not unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the device will not be disconnected from the power source.

•Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

•Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection.

Do not open

•This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

•Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the device, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Hearing loss

•Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may result in feedback that can cause hearing loss and damage the speakers.

•Do not use headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause

permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

•When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power amplifier LAST, to avoid hearing loss and speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

Fire warning

•Do not place any burning items or open flames near the device, since they may cause a fire.

If you notice any abnormality

•If any of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet.

-The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.

-Unusual smells or smoke are emitted.

-Some object has been dropped into the device.

-There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device.

-Cracks or other visible damage appear on the device.

Then have the device inspected or repaired by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/power cord

•When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

Location

•Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over and cause injuries.

•Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the top/front/rear to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.

•Do not place the device in a location where it may come into contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.

•Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

•If the device is mounted in an EIA standard rack, carefully read the section “Precautions when rackmounting” on page 21. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), malfunction, or even fire.

Connections

•Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Also, before turning the power of all devices on or off, make sure that all volume levels are set to the minimum. Failing to do so may result in electric shock, hearing loss, or equipment damage.

Maintenance

•Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning the device.

Handling caution

•Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device (vents, panel, etc.).

•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, panel, etc.) If this happens, immediately turn off the power, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors to prevent injuries.
