PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of
serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages,
fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the
following:
Do not open
• This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the device or attempt
to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. If it should appear to
be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Water warning
• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or
place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids
which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the
device, have the device 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
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Do not place the device in a location where it may come into contact with corrosive
gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Construction work should be carried out in accordance with construction-related
law and always by a professional constructor. If the device installation requires
construction work, make sure to observe the following precautions.
- Choose mounting hardware and an installation location that can support the
weight of the device.
- Avoid locations that are exposed to constant vibration.
- Use the required tools to install the device.
- Inspect the device periodically.
• When transporting or moving the device, always use two or more people.
Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in other
injury, or cause damage to the device itself.
Connections
• Before connecting the device to a power amplifier, turn off the power for all devices.
Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.
• Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker connectors. Use of
other types of cables may result in fire.
Maintenance
• Do not wipe the outer packaging with benzine, thinner, or synthetic detergent and
do not use electrical contact cleaner. These may damage the outer packaging and
dissolve the parts.
Handling caution
• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into holes of
the grille. If this happens, have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service
personnel.
• Do not operate the device if the sound is distorting. Prolonged use in this condition
could cause overheating and result in fire.
• When choosing a power amplifier for use with this device, make sure that the output
power of the amplifier is lower than the power capacity of this device (see
SPECIFICATIONS).
Even if the output power of the amplifier is lower than the power capacity of this
device (PGM), use of excessive input signals resulting in clipping may cause
damage to the device.
Malfunction or fire may occur especially when the following sounds or noises are
generated:
- feedback, when using a microphone
- continuous and extreme volume sound from a musical instrument
- extreme continuous distorted sound
- noise caused by plugging/unplugging the cable while the amplifier is turned on
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to the product or damage to other
property, follow the notices below.
Handling and Maintenance
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this might discolor
the cabinet.
• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient
temperature-when the device is moved from one location to another, or air
conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while condensation is
present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation might
have occurred, leave the device for several hours until the condensation has
completely dried out.
• Be sure to observe the amplifier's rated load impedance (see SPECIFICATIONS),
particularly when connecting speakers in parallel. Connecting an impedance load
outside the amplifier's rated range can damage the amplifier.
• When connecting the speakers with high impedance, be sure that the output total of
each speaker does not exceed the rated output of the power amplifier.
• ABOUT THE PROTECTION CIRCUIT
This speaker system has an internal protection circuit that shuts off the speaker unit
when an excessive input signal is applied.
If the speaker unit emits no sound, reduce the volume level of the amplifier
immediately.
The sound will return automatically in several seconds.
• Place the speaker on a flat and smooth surface.
