EXCHANGE REQUEST INSTRUCTIONS

By their nature, certain types of products are considered non-field-serviceable (NFS). For certain NFS
products, YAMAHA offers an NFS Service/Exchange program to provide in-warranty service and an
accommodation program for those same products which are outside of the Yamaha Limited Warranty.

THE NFS SERVICE/EXCHANGE PROGRAM is available only to consumers within the USA who
purchased their YAMAHA products from authorized YAMAHA Home Audio dealers within the USA.

To determine which product is eligible for the YAMAHA NFS Service/Exchange program, what needs to
be sent to YAMAHA, etc., please refer to the notes below:

CAUTION: DO NOT SEND BACK PRODUCT THAT IS NOT AN ITEM LISTED BELOW. TO DO SO WILL
CAUSE UNECESSARY DELAYS IN RETURING YOUR UNREPAIRED PRODUCT BACK TO YOU

a Remote Control Transmitter to YAMAHA that is dead or locked up from nothing more than weak
batteries or operator error. Failures caused by accident or abuse are not eligible for Limited Warranty
service or exchange; however, we do offer a non-warranty accommodation replacement program. If

enclosed.
