•Avoid locations where the unit will be subject to strong vibration.
Excessive vibration can damage the internal hard disk and CD-RW drive.
• Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the top to
prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular,
do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate
ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the
device(s), or even fire.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise,
both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.
• 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.
•Be sure to connect to a properly grounded power source. A ground screw
is provided on the rear panel of this device for maximum safety and
shock prevention. Be sure to connect the ground screw to a confirmed
ground point before plugging the device into the mains. Improper
grounding can result in electrical shock.
•When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the
power amplifier LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power
off, the power amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the
device (vents, disc slots, etc.).
•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.)
into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, disc slots, 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 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.
Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the device at the minimum level. When you are not using the device for
a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualified Yamaha
service personnel about replacing defective components.
