Do not open

nal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains
no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be mal-
functioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Location
• If you use a stand, check the stand's specifications and
make sure that it is sturdy enough to support the weight of
the speaker. You may need to limit the number of people
around the placed stand, in order to avoid toppling the
device or causing damage to the internal components.
• If you use the TS-80 and TS-90 speaker stands manufac-
tured by Ultimate Systems (sold separately) to support the
S112V/S115V/SM10V/SM12V/SM15V speaker models, be
sure to keep the following cautions.
– Use the speaker stands with their legs fully opened.
– Place only one speaker on each speaker stand.
– Tighten fastening screws securely.
– Remove the speakers from the stands before moving
the stands or adjusting their height.
– Add weight such as sand bags around the stand legs to
prevent them from falling over.
– Use the stand at a maximum height of 140 cm.
• If you use a metal socket of the SW115V/SW118V sub-
woofer to allow mounting of a satellite speaker, use a pole
shorter than 90cm with an outer diameter of 35mm.
• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or
more people.
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or
extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a
heater) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or
damage to the internal components.
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over.
