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, make sure to observe the following
precautions in order to avoid toppling the device or causing
damage to the internal components.
- Check the stand's specifications and make sure that it is
sturdy enough to support the weight of the speaker.
- Mount only one speaker on each speaker stand.
- Use the supplied screws if included.
- Tighten fastening screws securely.
- Use the speaker stands with their legs fully opened.
- Use the stand at a height of less than 140cm.
- Add weight such as sand bags around the stand legs to
prevent them from falling over.
- Remove the speakers from the stands before moving the
stands or adjusting their height.
- Limit the number of people around the placed stand.
We recommend using the speaker stands manufactured by
Ultimate Systems (sold separately) to support the speakers.
• Always consult qualified Yamaha service personnel if the
device installation requires construction work, and make
sure to observe the following precautions.

- Inspect the device periodically.
• 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, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of
panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.

power capacity (refer to the Specifications on page 14).
Even if the amplifier's power output is lower than the
speakers' power capacity, the speakers may be damaged
when clipping of a high input signal occurs. The following
may cause damage to speakers:
- Feedback caused when using a microphone.
- Continuous high sound pressure level produced by electronic
instruments.
- Continuous high-power output of distorted signals.
- Popping noises caused by turning on equipment, or by
connecting or disconnecting system components while the
amplifier is turned on.
