IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING — When using any electrical or electronic
product, basic precautions should always be followed. These
precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (in-
cluding amplifiers) that produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are pro-
vided for your safety. If the provided plug does not
fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for re-
placement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recepta-
cles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the appa-
ratus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus com-
bination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
This product shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the
apparatus.
Do not place this product or any other objects on
the power cord or place it in a position where any-
one could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over
power or connecting cords of any kind. The use of
an extension cord is not recommended! If you must
use an extension cord, the minimum wire size for a
25’ cord (or less) is 18 AWG. NOTE: The smaller
the AWG number, the larger the current handling
capacity. For longer extension cords, consult a local
electrician.
WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or mois-
ture.
Care should be taken that objects do not fall and liq-
uids are not spilled into the enclosure through any
openings that may exist.
This product, either alone or in combination with an
amplifier and headphones or speaker/s, may be ca-
pable of producing sound levels that could cause
permanent hearing loss. DO NOT operate for a long
period of time at a high volume level or at a level
that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hear-
ing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an
audiologist. IMPORTANT: The louder the sound,
the shorter the time period before damage occurs.
Some Yamaha products may have benches and/or
accessory mounting fixtures that are either supplied
as a part or the product or as optional accessories.
Some of these items are designed to be dealer as-
sembled or installed. Please make sure that benches
are stable and any optional fixtures (where applica-
ble) are well secured BEFORE using. Benches sup-
plied by Yamaha are designed for seating only. No
other uses are recommended.
This product shall be connected to a MAINS socket
outlet with a protective earthing connection.
This product has a power switch for shutting off all
system. The switch is located on the Power Supply
Unit nearby the entrance of the AC cord. Note that
the switch on the Controller does not shutdown all
system.
Make sure that the plug of the Power Supply Unit’s
power cable can easily be disconnected from the
AC outlet as a measure of precaution.

Replace only with the same type.
Outlets for Speakers
– Connect speakers of 2A or less of totals. Do not con-
nect other products except speakers.
