English Cautions 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. ● To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference. ● To prevent the enclosure from warping or discoloring, do not place the speakers where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive humidity. ● 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. ● Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the turntable can result in feedback. ● 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. ● When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher than the nominal input power of the speakers, care should be taken never to exceed the speakers' maximum input. ● Do not attempt to clean the speakers with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. ● 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. These speakers feature a magnetically shielded design, but there is still a chance that placing them too close to a TV or a computer monitor might impair picture color. Should this happen, move the speakers away from the TV or the computer monitor. Setting up the speakers This speaker package is designed to be suitable for use in a home theater sound system.
