CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SYSTEM.

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

2Install this sound system in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean place with at least 5 cm on the top, 5 cm on the left and right, and 5 cm at the back of AVR-S80, and 20 cm on the top, 10 cm on the left and right, and 10 cm at the back of SW-S80 — away from direct sunlight, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, and/ or cold.

3Locate this system away from other electrical appliances, motors, or transformers to avoid humming sounds. To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not place this system where it may get exposed to dripping or splashing, and never put any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the top of the system.

4Do not expose this system to sudden temperature changes from cold to hot, and do not locate this system in a environment with high humidity (i.e. a room with a humidifier) to prevent condensation inside this system, which may cause an electrical shock, fire, damage to this system, and/or personal injury.

5Avoid installing this system in a place where foreign objects and liquid might fall. It might cause a fire, damage to this system and/or personal injury. Do not place the following objects on this system:

Other components, as they may cause damage and/or discoloration on the surface of this system.

Burning objects (i.e. candles), as they may cause fire, damage to this system, and/or personal injury.

Containers with liquid in them, as they may cause electrical shock to the user and/or damage to this system.

6Do not cover this system with a newspaper, tablecloth, curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If the temperature inside this system rises, it may cause fire, damage to this system, and/or personal injury.

7Do not plug in this system to a wall outlet until all connections are complete.

8Do not operate this system upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.

9Do not use force on switches, knobs and/or cords.

10When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.

11Do not clean this system with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

12Only voltage specified on this system must be used. Using this system with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may cause fire, damage to this system, and/or personal injury. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this system with a voltage other than specified.

13To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet during an electrical storm.

14Take care of this system so that no foreign objects and/or liquid drops inside this system.

15Do not attempt to modify or fix this system. Contact qualified YAMAHA service personnel when any service is needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any reasons.

16When µanning to use this system for long periods of time (i.e. vacation), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

17Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section on common operating errors before concluding that this system is faulty.

18Before moving this system, press STANDBY/ON to set this system in the standby mode, and disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

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

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of this system in the space below.

MODEL:

Serial No.:

The serial number is located on the bottom of AVR-S80 and the rear of SW-S80.

Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference.

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.

Special Instructions for U.K. Model

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. Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

The name plate is located on the bottom of AVR-S80.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion – and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Since hearing damage from loud sounds is often undetectable until it is too late, YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.
