We Want You Listening for a Lifetime

Yamaha and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most enjoyment out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level — a level that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion — and, most importantly, without damaging 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 that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive volume levels.

Precautions: Read this before operating this unit

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

• 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 this unit to rain or water.

• Never open the cabinet. If any foreign objects drop into the set, contact your dealer.

• The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on the rear panel. Using this unit with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may cause a fire and/or electric shock.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

• 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 equipments. Never pull the wires themselves.

• When not planning to use this unit for a long period (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

• To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug when there is an electric storm.

• Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the walls, allowing spaces of at least 10 cm behind and 20 cm above and on both sides of the unit to prevent fire or damage. Furthermore, do not position with the rear panel facing down on the floor or other surfaces.

• Do not cover the rear panel of this unit with a newspaper, a tablecloth, a curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If the temperature inside the unit rises, it may cause fire, damage to the unit and/or personal injury.

• Do not place the following objects on this unit: Glass, china, small metallic etc.

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

A burning candle etc.

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

• VOLTAGE SELECTOR (For Asia and General models) The voltage selector switch on the rear panel of this unit must be set for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging this unit into the AC main supply. Voltages are 110–120/220–240 V AC, 50/ 60 Hz.

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

• Never put a hand or a foreign object into the YST port located on the right side of this unit. When moving this unit, do not hold the port as it might cause personal injury and/or damage to this unit.

• Never place a fragile object near the YST port of this unit. If the object falls or drops by the air pressure, it may cause damage to the unit and/or personal injury.

• Never open the cabinet. It might cause an electric shock since this unit uses a high voltage. It might also cause personal injury and/or damage to this unit.

• When using a humidifier, be sure to avoid condensation inside this unit by allowing enough spaces around this unit or avoiding excess humidification. Condensation might cause a fire, damage to this unit, and/or electric shock.

• Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may cause a turntable to generate a howling sound. In such a case, move this unit away from the turntable.

• This unit may be damaged if certain sounds are continuously outputted at high volume level. For example, if 20 Hz-50 Hz sine waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic instruments, etc. are continuously outputted, or when the stylus of a turntable touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent this unit from being damaged.

• If you hear distorted noise (i.e., unnatural, intermittent “rapping” or “hammering” sounds) coming from this unit, reduce the volume level. Extremely loud playing of a movie soundtrack’s low frequency, bass-heavy sounds or similarly loud popular music passages can damage this subwoofer system.

• Vibration generated by super-bass frequencies may distort images on a TV. In such a case, move this unit away from the TV set.

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

• Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

• Install this unit near the wall outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

• 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 subwoofer.
