amplifier also suited for electric acoustic guitars and bass

guitars. The cabinet uses real wood, and the amplifier

produces a tone not expected from a unit this size.

■ PRECAUTIONS

◆To avoid possible damage do not expose the unit to:

- direct sunlight

- very high or low temperature/humidity

- sand or excessive dust

* Especially inside a vehicle, the temperature may rise

excessively — do not leave the VA-7W in your parked

car on a sunny day!

◆Before connecting/disconnecting cables or turning the unit

on/off, be sure to set the VOLUME control on the VA-7W to 0.

◆The VA-7W can be operated with six SUM-1 batteries or an

optional AC adapter (YAMAHA PA-3). Use of a different AC

adapter may damage the unit! When using a different AC

adapter, make sure that its voltage and polarity (+ –)

matches the VA-7W.

◆Always turn the unit off after use. To avoid battery leakage,

remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used for an

extended period of time.

◆Neon and fluorescent lamps may induce noise. Keep the unit

away from such lighting sources.

◆Handle the unit carefully — never apply excessive force to

the controls and avoid dropping the unit.

◆Clean the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Never use volatile

liquids such as benzine or thinner.

◆After reading this owner’s manual, keep it in a safe place for

future reference.

■ BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the overall sound volume decreases or the sound becomes

distorted during battery operation, the batteries are exhausted and

should be replaced with new ones (SUM-1 x 6).

When the VA-7W is to be used for longer periods at a time, we

recommend the use of an optional AC adapter (YAMAHA PA-3).

*Be sure to insert the batteries according to the polarity

markings (+ and –).

* Replace the batteries with the power turned off.
