OWNER’S MANUAL
Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA
PRECAUTIONS
English
Read this before using the speakers.
●To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
●Install the speakers 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 speakers to rain or water.
●To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not place the speakers where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
●Do not place the following objects on the speakers: Glass, china, etc.
If glass etc. falls by vibrations and breaks, it may cause personal injury.
A burning candle etc.
If the candle falls by vibrations, it may cause fire and personal injury.
A vessel with water in it
If the vessel falls by vibrations and water spills, it may cause damage to the speakers, and/or you may get an electric shock.
●Do not place the speakers where foreign objects such as water drips might fall. It might cause a fire, damage to the speakers, and/or personal injury.
●Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also ensure better sound performance.
●Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the turntable can result in feedback.
●Never put a hand or a foreign object into the port located on the front of the speaker as this might cause personal injury and/or damage to the speaker.
●When moving the speaker, do not hold the port as it might cause personal injury and/or damage to the speaker.
●Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control on your amplifier to a lower setting. Never allow your amplifier to be driven into “clipping”. Otherwise the speakers may be damaged.
●When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher than the nominal input power of the speakers, care should be taken never to exceed the speakers’ maximum input.
●Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
●Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact qualified YAMAHA service personnel when any service is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any reasons.
●Secure placement or installation is the owner’s responsibility.
YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused by improper placement or installation of speakers.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN POSITIONING
The speaker is constructed with the majority of the weight located in its upper portion, and is thus susceptible to falling over if proper care is not taken to insure its stability. If the speaker falls over, it may damage the speaker or be the cause of injury (or even death) to persons and/or damage to personal property.
For safe and proper use of the speaker:
•Position the speaker in a location that is solid, level, smooth, and low (with respect to the floor).
•Do not push or apply pressure to the side of the speaker when moving, or lean objects against the side of the speaker.
•Do not sit on or set objects on top of the speaker.
•Do not remove the stands attached to the bottom of the speaker as this might cause the serious accidents, resulting from falling over of the speaker.
Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and other phenomena or activities may cause the speaker to fall over. For safety reasons, using commercially available products that increase stability in the speaker is recommended (metal fittings or chains, etc.).
