Read the Following Before Operating the Unit

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

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

3.Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the unit, contact your dealer.

4.Do not use force with switches, controls or connection wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the wires.

5.Do not touch the top cover, since it may become hot after extended high-power operation. This cover has openings for proper ventilation of the unit. Do not place any objects on these openings. If the openings are obstructed, the temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly. Also, be sure to install the unit vertically, not horizontally, in a well- ventilated area and allow enough clearance from the surrounding objects. Otherwise the receiver may be damaged or a fire may be caused.

6.The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may result in fire or other accidents.

YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than specified.

7.Digital signals generated by this unit may interfere with other equipment such as tuners, receivers, or TVs. Move this unit farther away from such equipment if interference is observed.

8.Always set the volume control to minimum before starting audio playback. Increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after playback has been started.

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

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

11.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.

12.To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug and disconnect the antenna cable when there is an electrical storm.

This unit is not fully disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off.

This state is called “standby mode.”

In this mode, the unit consumes a small amount of electricity.
