Warnings

•Connect this unit’s power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner’s Man-
ual or as marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
•Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection.
Improper grounding can result in electrical shock.
•Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock
may result.
•Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged power
cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place heavy objects
on a power cord covered by a carpet.
•Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid or
metal objects inside this unit are a fire and electrical shock hazard.
•This unit is equipped with a dedicated ground connection to prevent electrical shock.
Before connecting the power plug to an AC outlet, be sure to ground the unit. If the power
cord has a three-pin plug, it will provide sufficient grounding so long as the AC outlet is
grounded correctly.
•Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire
and electrical shock hazard.
•Do not remove the unit’s cover. You could receive an electrical shock. If you think internal
inspection, maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.
•Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
•If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power switch of the unit as soon as possible, and
unplug the power cable plug from the electrical outlet.
•If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch the power cable plug if it is still connected.
Doing so may be an electrical shock hazard.
•Use only the included power cord for this unit. Using other types may be a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
•The DM2000 has six rear-panel slots for installing mini-YGDAI cards. For technical rea-
sons, certain card combinations are not supported. Before installing any cards, check the
Yamaha web site to if your card is compatible. Installing cards that are not endorsed by
Yamaha may cause electrical shock, fire, or damage to the unit.
•If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a
replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

•If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid
gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Con-
sult your dealer for repair. Using the unit in this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

•Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be damaged, turn the power switch off, remove
the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the unit
without heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock may result.
