Thank you for purchasing Yamaha’s YST-M5 Powered Speakers. Yamaha’s Active Servo Technology offers exceptional high performance.

Cautions

Please read the following operating precautions before use:

•Use the AC-DC adaptor designed specifically for the YST-M5 only. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by using other power supply adaptors.

•When disconnecting the AC-DC adaptor from an AC receptacle, hold and pull the plug, not the power cord.

•If the YST-M5s are not going to be used for a while, disconnect the AC-DC adaptor from the AC receptacle.

•Always disconnect the AC-DC adaptor from the AC receptacle before making any connections.

•YST-M5s do not contain any user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to your Yamaha dealer.

•Do not expose the YST-M5s to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, humidity, or vibration.

•Site the YST-M5s on a level, stable surface. Do not drop the

YST-M5s, apply excessive force to their controls, or put heavy items on top of them.

•If the YST-M5s should require cleaning, use a soft cloth. If necessary, a damp cloth.

•Do not obstruct the port with your hand or a foreign object.

•To protect the YST-M5 speakers, avoid microphone feedback, continuous and excessive output from electronic musical instru- ments, excessive signal distortion.

•If the YST-M5s are sited close to fluorescent or neon type lights, a slight hum may be heard. In this case, relocate the YST-M5s away from the light.

•Although the YST-M5 speakers are magnetically shielded, keep floppy disks and tapes away from them.
