Cautions
Please read the following operating precautions before use:
•
Use the AC adaptor designed specifically for the YST-M8 only. Yamaha
cannot be held responsible for damage caused by using other power supply
adaptors.
•
When disconnecting the AC adaptor from an AC receptacle, hold and pull the
adaptor, not the power cord.

Place the YST-M8 on a level, stable surface. Do not drop the YST-M8, apply
excessive force to their controls, or put heavy items on top of them.
•
If the YST-M8 should require cleaning, use a soft cloth. If necessary, use a
damp cloth.
•
To protect the YST-M8 speakers, avoid microphone feedback, continuous and
excessive output from electronic musical instruments amplifiers signal
distortion.
•
If the YST-M8 are located close to fluorescent or neon type lights, a slight
hum may be heard. In this case, relocate the YST-M8 away from the light.
•
Although the YST-M8 speakers are magnetically shielded, keep floppy disks
and tapes away from them.
•
The YST-M8 may cause picture distortion when placed close to a television or
computer monitor. In this case, move them away a little.
