We Want You Listening For A Lifetime 
YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer 
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your 
equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound 
come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or 
distortion - and, most importantly, without affecting your 
sensitive hearing.
Since hearing damage from loud sounds is often 
undetectable until it is too late, YAMAHA and the 
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer 
Electronics Group recommend you to avoid 
prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.
CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC 
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as 
long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself

state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of 
power.
