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

• Position the YST-MS55Ds on a level, stable surface. Do not drop the YST-MS55Ds, 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 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 foreign object.

• T o protect the YST-MS55D speakers, avoid microphone feedback, continuous and excessive output from electronic musical instruments, and excessive signal distortion.

• If the YST-MS55Ds are located close to ﬂuorescent 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 magnetically 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 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 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 appropriate level after the playback has started.

• Do not turn off the POWER switch on the subwoofer while 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.
