Intr oduction Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha C450/320/160 series power amplifier. This series of audio amps was developed from Yamaha's wealth of experience in building PA equipment and its tradition of careful attention to every detail of circuit design.
Precautions 1. Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust and vibration. Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity — such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage.

4 ■ Modes: STEREO/P ARALLEL/BRIDGE BRIDGE mode In this mode, the CHANNEL A input signal will be output from the BRIDGE output terminals. In this case, use the front panel (channel) A volume control to adjust the volume. ■ SPEAKER IMPED ANCE In STEREO and PARALLEL modes, the minimum load (=speaker) impedance is 4 Ω .
5 Caution for Speaker Connection 1. Turn off the POWER switch. 2. Remove the cover attachment screw(s) and remove the protective cover from the speaker terminals.
6 Rack Mounting ■ Mounting in an EIA standar d rac k If multiple high-power amp units are mounted in a rack with poor ventilation, the heat from the amps will cause the interior of the amp to become very hot, causing the performance of the amps to be impaired.
7 ■ P ortable Rack Mounting The amplifier intakes cool air through the front panel and exhausts warm air out the rear panel. When mounting amplifiers in a portable rack, make sure the rear panel is completely open for ventilation.
