Bluetooth
•Bluetooth is a technology for wireless
communication between devices within an area of
about 10 meters (33 ft) employing the 2.4 GHz
frequency band, a band which can be used without a
license.
•Bluetooth is a registered trademark of the Bluetooth
SIG and is used by Yamaha in accordance with a
license agreement.
Handling Bluetooth communications
• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible
devices is a radio band shared by many types of
equipment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use
a technology minimizing the influence of other
components using the same radio band, such
influence may reduce the speed or distance of
communications and in some cases interrupt
communications.
• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at
which communication is possible differs according
to the distance between the communicating devices,
the presence of obstacles, radio wave conditions
and the type of equipment.
• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections
between this unit and devices compatible with
Bluetooth function.
LASER SAFETY
This unit employs a laser. Due to possible eye injury,
only a qualified service person should remove the
cover or attempt to service this device.
DANGER
This unit emits visible laser radiation when open.
Avoid direct eye exposure to beam. When this unit is
plugged into the wall outlet, do not look inside the
unit through the disc slot and other openings.
◆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.
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.
◆Special Instructions for U.K.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• This unit’s speakers use magnets. Do not place items
that are sensitive to magnetism, such as CRT-type TVs,
clocks, credit cards, floppy disks, etc., on or beside this
unit.
• There is a chance that placing this unit too close to a
CRT-based (Braun tube) TV set might impair picture
color. Should this happen, move this unit away from the
TV set.
The laser component in this product is capable of
emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1.
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.
Make sure that neither core is connected to the
earth terminal of the three pin plug.
