Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to come near the tape decks record/playback head assembly. Doing so may not only scratch or damage the heads mirror- smooth finish, it may change the magnetic characteristics of the heads, causing a deterioration in reproduction performance quality.
Although the tape decks record/playback heads are of high quality with outstanding reproduction characteristics, they can get dirty through the use of old tapes or from dust accumulation over time. This can have a serious effect on reproduction quality. Clean the heads regularly with commonly available head cleaners or with cleaning solutions.
The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on this system. Using this system with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other types of accidents causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this system with a voltage other than specified.
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken to avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which may occur when turning this system on with the volume control setting at high. Also avoid exposure to continuous high levels of sound.
Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet. Condensation can cause this system to malfunction.
To eliminate condensation: Pickup
Leave the power on with no disc loaded until normal play becomes possible (about 1 hour).
Tape head Leave the power on with no tape loaded until normal playback becomes possible (about 1 hour).
Note: If condensation forms on the tape head, dirt or dust may accumulate during use.
Remote control Wipe off condensation on the transmission window with a soft cloth before operating this system.

Precautions: Read this before operating your system
To prevent a malfunction of this system: Do not use any nonstandard shaped disc
(heart etc.) available on the market because it might damage the system.
Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it. If you use such a disc, a disc may get stuck in the system, or damage to the system may result.
Notes about handling discs Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not
scratched.
Discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the discs play.
Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball-point pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and may adversely affect the discs play.
Do not warp discs.
When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the system and store in an appropriate case.
When removing or storing a disc, be careful not to scratch the playing surface.
Discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.
Do not try to clean the discs surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid because such substances might irreparably damage the discs surface.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity for a long period of time because these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.
No!
