 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:
• 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.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is 
not to be used for extended periods of time, or during 
electrical storms.
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might 
accidentally fall over.
• Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated location. 
Make sure that there is adequate space between the device 
and surrounding walls or other devices: at least 20 cm at the 
sides, 20 cm behind and 20 cm above. Inadequate ventilation 
can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the 
device(s), or even fire.
• Do not press the rear panel of the device against the wall. 
Doing so may cause the plug to come in contact with the wall 
and detach from the power cord, resulting in short circuiting, 
malfunction, 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.
• 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, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum 
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, 
make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the 
power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all 
devices, set all volume levels to minimum.
• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning the 
device.
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on 
the device (ports).
• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, 
metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (ports) If 
this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the 
power cord from the AC outlet. Then 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.
• Do not use speakers 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.
• Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting. Prolonged 
use in this condition could cause overheating and result in fire.
Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
