SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR U.K. MODEL
IMPORTANT:
THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Blue: NEUTRAL Brown: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.
For U.K. customers
If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below. Note: The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.

Please read the following operating precautions before use. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage and/or injury caused by not following the cautions below.
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 something drops 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 or 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 equipment. Never pull the wires themselves.
When not planning to use this unit for a long period (i.e.
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 20 cm above, behind 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 small metallic objects on this unit. Otherwise, the object may fall, possibly causing an injury.
Do not place the following objects on this unit:
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 unit, and/or you may get an electric shock.
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 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 put a hand or a foreign object into the YST port
located on the front 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 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 speaker 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.
Secure placement or installation is the owner’s
responsibility. YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused by improper placement or installation of speakers.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR
(For China, Korean 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.
Standby mode If the POWER switch is set to the ON position and the AUTO STANDBY switch is set to the HIGH or LOW position, this unit turns into the standby mode when no signal is received by this unit for 7 to 8 minutes. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.
This unit features a magnetically shielded design, but there is still a chance that placing it too close to a TV set might impair picture color. Should this happen, move this unit away from the TV set.
CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit.
