Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha MS101III Monitor Speaker. The MS101III employs a 4 inch full-range speaker in a
compact bass-reflex style cabinet. Its faithful sound reproduction capabilities make it ideal for home recording and
personal practice. Since a magnetic field-cancelling speaker is used, the MS101

III can be placed next to a television or

video monitor without causing interference, making it the perfect choice for Audio/Video system applications.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

ENGLISH

Power supply/Power cord

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage

is printed on the name plate of the device.

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy

objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,

or roll anything over it.

Do not open

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it

should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into

any openings.

•Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

If you notice any abnormality

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden

loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke

should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,

disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected

by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power

switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used

for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or

heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to

prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally

fall over.

Location

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is

easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off

the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the

power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the

minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make

sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated location. Make sure

that there is adequate space between the device and surrounding walls or

other devices: at least 10 cm at the sides, 10 cm behind and 20 cm above.

Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to

the device(s), or even fire.

Connections

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all

devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume

levels to minimum.

any distortion or unnatural color shift.

Interference From Cell Phones

Using a cell phone near the speaker system can induce noise. If this occurs, move the cell phone further away from the speaker system.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device.

Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.

The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualified Yamaha service

personnel about replacing defective components.
