Cautions

 

Please read the following operating precautions before use:

When you disconnect the AC power cable from an 
AC outlet, hold the plug, not the cord.

If the YST-MS55Ds are not going to be used for a 
while, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC 
outlet.

Always disconnect the AC power cord from the 
AC outlet before making any connections.

The YST-MS55Ds do not contain any user service-
able parts. Refer all servicing to your Yamaha 
dealer.

 

Never open the cabinet.

 

 If a foreign object drops 

into the set, contact your dealer, and do not use the 
YST-MS55Ds. Otherwise, you may cause a fire.

Do not expose the YST-MS55Ds to temperature 
extremes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, humidity, 
or vibration.

Position the YST-MS55Ds on a level, stable sur-
face. Do not drop the YST-MS55Ds, apply exces-
sive force to their controls, or put heavy items on 
top of them.

Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat 
will radiate from the rear panel. Therefore, place 
the unit apart from the walls, allowing a space of at 
least 20 cm (7-7/8") above, behind and on the both 
sides of the unit. Also, do not position with the rear 
panel facing down on the floor or other surface. 
(Subwoofer only)

Do not obstruct the port with your hand or a for-
eign object.

To protect the YST-MS55D speakers, avoid micro-
phone feedback, continuous and excessive output 
from electronic musical instruments, and excessive 
signal distortion.

• If the YST-MS55Ds are located close to fluores-

cent or neon lights, a slight hum may be heard. In 
this case, relocate the YST-MS55Ds away from the 
light.

Although the YST-MS55D speakers are magneti-
cally shielded, keep floppy disks and tapes away 
from them.

The YST-MS55Ds may cause picture distortion 
when located close to a television or computer 
monitor. In this case, move them away a short dis-
tance.

Avoid sources of hum (transformers, motors). To 
prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to 
rain and water.

Do not use force on switches, knobs, or cables. 
When you move the YST-MS55D, first turn off the 
power to the speakers, then disconnect the power 
cable from the AC outlet and the cables from the 
connected devices.

Always turn the volume control counterclockwise 
to the minimum before starting to play the audio 
source: increase the volume gradually to an appro-
priate level after the playback has started.

Do not turn off the POWER switch on the sub-
woofer while the 

 

 

 

(standby/on) button on the 

front panel of the right satellite speaker is on 
(while the standby/on indicator is lit). Otherwise, 
the speakers may be damaged.

Voltage Selector (General Model only)
The voltage selector on the rear panel of this unit 
must be set for your local main voltage before 
plugging into the AC main supply.

• Though this speaker is a magnetically shielded 

type, there may be some influence on the monitor 
picture depending on the type of monitor or the 
placement of the speaker.  In such a case, place the 
speaker further apart from the monitor until there 
is no influence on the monitor picture.
