CAUTION
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 Avoid installing the speakers in a place where foreign
objects and liquid might fall. It might cause a fire,
damage to the speakers and/or personal injury. Do
not place the following objects on the speakers:
• Other components, as they may cause damage and/
or discoloration on the surface of the speakers.
• Burning objects (i.e., candles), as they may cause
fire, damage to the speakers and/or personal injury.
• Containers with liquid in them, as they may cause
an electrical shock to the user and/or damage to the
speakers.
6 Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the
turntable can result in feedback.
7 Any time you note distortion, reduce the volume
control on your amplifier to a lower setting. Never
allow your amplifier to be driven into “clipping”.
Otherwise the speakers may be damaged.
8 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.
9 Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical
solvents as 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 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.

12 Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the
set, contact your dealer.
13 Do not use force on switches, controls or connection
wires. When moving the unit, first disconnect the
power plug and the wires connected to other
equipments. Never pull the wires themselves.
14 When not planning to use this unit for a long period
(ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug
from the wall outlet.
15 To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC
power plug when there is an electric storm.
16 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 on the floor or other surfaces.
Be sure to allow a space of at least 10 cm above,
behind and on both sides of the unit.
17 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.
18 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.
FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to
wide slot and fully insert.
