PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,
short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.
• Use only the included power cord.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise
damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a
position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything
over it.

parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no
user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be
malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp
or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids
which might spill into any openings.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if
there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if
any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it,
immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric
plug from the outlet, and have the idevice inspected by
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not
to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical
storms.
• 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.
• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or
more people.
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their
maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected
devices, doing so may cause feedback and may damage the
speakers.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or
extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater,
or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel
disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
• Never block the vent holes during use. Vent holes are located
on the top, bottom, front, rear, and sides of this machine. All
vent holes must remain unblocked to prevent overheating.
To further ensure adequate ventilation, never use this device…
- Upside down or on its side
- In a poorly ventilated location (in a closet, inside a
bookcase, etc.)
- With its rubber footpads removed
- On a thick carpet or other such surface
- While it is inside an unventilated touring case
Failure to observe the above precautions may cause the
device to overheat, resulting in equipment damage and fire
hazard.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo
equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise,
the device, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• 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.
• Do not insert your finger or hand in any gaps or openings on
the device (vents, etc.).
• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic,
metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents,
etc.). 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 use the device or headphones 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 rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects
on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or
connectors.
