PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT

CAUTIONS

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

•Install your unit in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean place – away from windows, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, or cold. To avoid humming sounds, locate the unit away from other electrical appliances, motors, and transformers. To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to rain and water.

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

•Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer.

•Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords.

•When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (i.e., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

•Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not defeated.

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

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

•Do not place another component on top of this unit, as damage or discoloration on the surface of the unit may result.

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

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

•Do not plug the AC power cord to the wall outlet before you finish all connections.

•The 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.

•Never allow metallic items (e. g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to come near the record/playback head assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or damage the head’s mirror-smooth finish, but also change the magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a deterioration in reproduction quality.

•Although the record/playback head used in this unit is a high quality head with outstanding reproduction characteristics, it can become dirty through the use of old tapes or from dust accumulation over time.

This can have a serious effect on reproduction quality.

Clean the heads regularly with one of the commonly available head cleaners or with an appropriate cleaning solution.
