CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

1.To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

2.Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place — away from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the unit to rain or water.

3.Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the unit, contact your dealer.

4.Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power cord and then the wires connected to other component. Never pull the wires themselves.

5.The openings on the cover assure proper ventilation of the unit. If these openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly. Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings, and install the unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent fire and damage.

Be sure to allow a space of at least 20 cm behind,

20 cm on both sides and 30 cm above the top panel of the unit to prevent fire and damage.

6.The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other accidents. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a voltage other than that specified.

7.Digital signals generated by this unit may interfere with other component such as tuners, receivers and TVs. Move this unit farther away from such component if interference is observed.

8.Always set VOLUME to the “ m” position before starting the audio source play. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after playback has been started.

9.Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

10.Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

11.When not planning to use this unit for a long period of time (e.g., a vacation), disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

12.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power cord and disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

13.Grounding or polarization — Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not defeated.

14.AC outlet — Do not connect audio component to the AC outlet on the rear panel if that component requires more power than the outlet is rated to provide.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

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.

Note

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.
