Caution: Read this before operating your unit.

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

2The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

3Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to rain or water.

4This unit should not be placed on appliances, such as amplifiers, that produce heat, or placed in a cabinet that impedes the flow of air. This may result in a failure in this unit. Install this unit in a well ventilated place. In addition, do not place objects on this unit.

5The generated digital signals may interfere with other equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the system farther away from such equipment if interference is observed.

6Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet.

Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.

To eliminate condensation, leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback becomes possible (about 1 hour).

7Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.

8Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the unit, contact your dealer.

9To prevent lightning damage, unplug the power cord and remove the antenna cable during electrical storms.

10Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

11Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When moving the set, first turn the unit off. Then gently disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.

12Always set the volume control on the amplifier to minimum before starting a disc play: increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.

13Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.
