equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the 
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within 
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient 
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to 
persons.

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.
