Cautions
Cautions
Please read the following operating precautions before use:
• When you disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC
outlet, hold the plug, not the cord.
• If you plan not to use the YST-M45Ds for a while,
disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC outlet.
• Always disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC
outlet before making any connections.
• The YST-M45Ds 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-M45Ds. Otherwise, you may cause a fire.
• Do not expose the YST-M45Ds to temperature
extremes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, humidity,
or vibration.
• Position the YST-M45Ds on a level, stable surface.
Do not drop the YST-M45Ds, apply excessive
force to their controls, or put heavy items on top of
them.
• Do not place small metal objects on the speakers.
Otherwise, the object may fall, possibly causing an
injury.
• To protect the YST-M45D speakers, avoid micro-
phone feedback, continuous and excessive output
from electronic musical instruments, and excessive
signal distortion.
• If the YST-M45Ds are located close to fluorescent
or neon lights, a slight hum may be heard. In this
case, relocate the YST-M45Ds away from the
light.
• Although the YST-M45D speakers are magneti-
cally shielded, keep floppy disks and tapes away
from them.
• The YST-M45Ds 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-M45D, first turn off the
power to the speakers, then disconnect the AC
adaptor 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.
• 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.
• When placing the provided AC adaptor on the
desk, etc., be sure to fix the adaptor on the desk,
etc. to prevent it from falling. If the adaptor falls, it
may cause personal injury or damage to the adap-
tor and/or other equipment.
Note for headphone:
When you use headphones, make sure that they have a
cable of less than 3m. (UK and Europe models)
