EMX2000—Owner’s Manual
Precautions
1. Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust and
vibration
Keep the unit away from locations where it is
likely to be exposed to high temperatures or
humidity — such as near radiators, stoves, etc.
Also avoid locations which are subject to exces-
sive dust accumulation or vibration which could
cause mechanical damage.
2. Ventilation
Allow a distance of 30 cm between the unit and
the wall so that heat generated from the unit will
be released effectively. Also, allow enough space
between the unit and other devices. If you mount
the unit in an audio rack, keep a space of 40 cm
on the top panel, and a space of 15 cm to the side
panel. Remove the rear panel of the rack or open
a vent hole. If heat release is inadequate, the unit
will retain heat inside the unit, which may cause a
fire.
3. Avoid physical shocks
Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause dam-
age. Handle it with care.
4. Do not open the case or attempt repairs
or modifications yourself
This product contains no user-serviceable parts.
Refer all maintenance to qualified Yamaha service
personnel. Opening the case and/or tampering
with the internal circuitry voids the warranty.
5. Always power off before making connec-
tions
Always turn the power OFF before connecting or
disconnecting cables. This is important to pre-
vent damage to the unit itself as well as other con-
nected equipment.
6. Handle cables carefully
Always plug and unplug cables — including the
AC power cord — by gripping the connector, not
the cord.
7. Clean with a soft dry cloth
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to
clean the unit. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
8. Always use the correct power supply
Make sure that the power supply voltage specified
on the rear panel matches your local AC mains
supply. Also make sure that the AC mains supply
can deliver more than enough current to handle
all equipment used in your system.
9. Do not touch the heatsink when the
EMX2000 is in use. It can get very hot.
