CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.

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

2.Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place — away from windows, heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the speakers to rain or water.

3.To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not place the speakers where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.

4.Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable placement will also ensure better sound performance.

5.Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the turntable can result in feedback.

6.As these speakers contain strong magnets (though all of them are magnetically shielded types), avoid placing watches, magnetic tapes, etc. near them. Also, placing the speakers near a TV set may impair picture color. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV set.

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

8.Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty.

9.Secure placement or installation is the owner’s responsibility. YAMAHA shall not be liable for any accident caused by improper placement or installation of speakers.

■For U.K. customers

If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the instructions described below.

Note

•The plug severed from the mains lead must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.

■Special Instructions for U.K. Model

IMPORTANT

THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Blue: NEUTRAL

Brown: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Making sure that neither core is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.

■For SW-AVS70

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

2.Do not use force on switches, controls or connection cables. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power cord and the cables connected to other components. Never pull the cables themselves.

3.When not planning to use this unit for a long period of time (e.g., vacation), disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

4.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power cord when there is an electric storm.

5.Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the walls, allowing enough space above, behind and on the both sides of the unit to prevent fire or damage. Furthermore, do not position with the rear panel facing down the floor or other surfaces.

6.Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may cause a turntable to generate a howling sound. In such a case, move this unit away from the turntable.

7.If you hear distorted noise (i.e., unnatural, intermittent “rapping” or “hammering” sounds) coming from this unit, reduce the volume level. Extremely loud playing of a movie soundtrack’s low frequency, bass-heavy sounds or similarly loud popular music passages can damage this speaker system.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
