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.
Please read the following operating precautions before use. Yamaha will not be held responsible for any damage and/or
injury caused by not following the cautions below.
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, sources of heat, sources of excessive
vibration, dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of
electrical humming (e.g., transformers and motors). To
prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the
speakers to rain or water.
3. To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring,
do not expose the speakers to direct sunlight or
excessive humidity.
4. Avoid installing the speakers where foreign objects may
fall onto them and/or where they may be exposed to
liquid dripping or splashing.
5. Do not place the following objects on top of the speakers:
– Other components, as they might damage or discolor
the surface of the speakers.
– Burning objects (e.g., candles), as they might cause
fire, damage to the speakers or personal injury.
– Containers of liquid, as they might spill and cause
electric shock to the user or damage to the speakers.
FCC INFORMATION (for US customers)
Precautions
6. 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.
7. Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the
turntable can result in feedback.
8. Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume control
on your amplifier to lower setting. Never allow your
amplifier to be driven into "clipping". Otherwise, the
speakers may be damaged.
9. When using an amplifier with a rated output power
higher than the nominal input power of the speakers,
care should be taken not to exceed the maximum input
of the speakers.
10. Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical
solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean,
dry cloth.
11. Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact
qualified Yamaha service personnel when service is
needed. The cabinet should never be opened for any
reason.
