 CAUTION
This content indicates “risk of injury.”
Power supply/power cord 
• Do not use an AC outlet where the power plug 
fits loosely when inserted. Failure to observe 
this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or burns.
• When removing the electric plug from the unit or 
an AC outlet, always hold the plug itself and not 
the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it and 
cause electric shocks or a fire.
• Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the 
AC outlet. Using the unit when it is not plugged 
in sufficiently can cause dust to accumulate on 
the plug, causing a fire or burns.
Installation
• Do not place the unit in an unstable position 
where it might accidentally drop or fall over and 
cause injuries.
• When installing this unit:
- Do not cover it with any cloth.
- Do not install it on a carpet or rug.
- Make sure the top surface faces up; do not 
install on its sides or upside down.
- Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-
ventilated location.
Failure to observe the above may trap heat 
inside the unit, causing a fire or malfunctions. 
Ensure that there is adequate space around the 
unit: at least 10 cm (3-7/8 in) on top, 10 cm 
(3-7/8 in) on the sides, and 10 cm (3-7/8 in) on 
the rear.
• Ensure that the top is facing upwards. Failure to 
observe this may cause malfunctions or for the 
unit to fall and cause injury.
• Do not install the unit in places where it may 
come into contact with corrosive gases or salt 
air. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Avoid being near the unit during a disaster, 
such as an earthquake. Since the unit may fall 
and cause injury, quickly move away from the 
unit and go to a safe place.
• Before moving this unit, be sure to turn off the 
power switch and disconnect all connection 
cables. Failure to observe this may damage the 
cables or cause you or someone else to trip 
and fall.
Hearing loss
• Before connecting the unit to other devices, 
turn off the power for all devices. Failing to do 
so may result in hearing loss, electric shock, or 
device damage.
• When turning on the AC power in your audio 
system, always turn on the amplifier or receiver 
LAST, to avoid hearing loss and speaker 
damage. When turning the power off, the 
amplifier or receiver should be turned off FIRST 
for the same reason. Failure to observe the 
above may cause hearing impairment or 
speaker damage.
Maintenance
• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet 
when cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this 
may cause electric shocks.
Handling caution
• Do not insert foreign materials such as metal or 
paper into panel slits of this unit. Failure to 
observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, 
or malfunctions. If foreign material gets into the 
unit, immediately shut off the power and pull the 
power plug from the AC outlet and request an 
inspection from the dealer where you 
purchased the unit or from qualified Yamaha 
service personnel.
• Do not do the following:
- stand on or sit on the equipment.
- put heavy items on top of the equipment.
- place the equipment in a stack.
- apply unreasonable force to buttons, 
switches, input/output terminals, etc.
- hang on the equipment.
- lean against the equipment.
• Avoid pulling the connected cables to prevent 
injuries or damage to the unit.
Battery use
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. 
Do not use new batteries together with old 
ones. Using new ones with old ones could 
cause a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid 
leaks.
• Do not use batteries other than specified 
batteries. Doing so cause fire, burns, or 
inflammation due to leakage.
• Do not mix battery types, such as alkaline 
batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries 
from different makers, or different types of 
batteries from the same maker, since this can 
cause a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid 
leaks.
