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.

2Install 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 and water.

3Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.

4Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the set, contact your dealer.

5Do not place records or other objects on top of the unit; this will block the ventilation holes, cause the internal temperature to rise and may result in a failure.

6Do 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.

7Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

8To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord and remove the antenna cable during an electrical storm.

9When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.

10Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.

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.
