Cautions

Please read the following operating precautions before use:

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

•If the YST-MS28s are not going to be used for a while, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC receptacle.

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

•The YST-MS28s 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-MS28s. Otherwise, you may cause a fire.

•Do not expose the YST-MS28s to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, humidity, or vibration.

•Position the YST-MS28s on a level, stable surface. Do not drop the YST-MS28s, apply excessive 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 10 cm (3-15/16") 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 foreign object.

•To protect the YST-MS28 speakers, avoid micro- phone feedback, continuous and excessive output from electronic musical instruments, and excessive signal distortion.

•If the YST-MS28s are located close to fluorescent or neon lights, a slight hum may be heard. In this case, relocate the YST-MS28s away from the light.

•Although the YST-MS28 speakers are magnetically shielded, keep floppy disks and tapes away from them.

•The YST-MS28s may cause picture distortion when located close to a television or computer monitor. In this case, move them away a short distance.

•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 cords. When moving the YST-MS28s, first turn the YST-MS28s off.

•Always turn the volume control counterclockwise before starting to play the audio source: increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after the playback has started.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode.

In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

Connections & Controls

Refer to the illustrations on page 1.
