Thank you for purchasing Yamaha's YST-MSW5 Powered Multimedia Subwoofer. Yamaha's Active Servo Technology offers exceptionally high performance. Cautions Connections & Controls 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-MSW5 is 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-MSW5 does not contain any user serviceable 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-MSW5. Otherwise, you may cause a fire. • Do not expose theYST-MSW5 to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, humidity, or vibration. • Position the YST-MSW5 on a level, stable surface. Do not drop the YST-MSW5, 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. • Do not obstruct the port with your hand or a foreign object. • To protect the YST-MSW5 speaker, avoid microphone feedback, continuous and excessive output from electronic musical instruments, and excessive signal distortion. • If the YST-MSW5 is located close to fluorescent or neon lights, a slight hum may be heard. In this case, relocate the YST-MSW5 away from the light. • Although the YST-MSW5 speaker is magnetically shielded, keep floppy disks and tapes away from them. • The YST-MSW5 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-MSW5, first turn the YST-MSW5 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. CAUTION The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself is turned off. CAUTION (FOR CANADA MODEL): TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT AND FULLY INSERT. Front Panel Refer to the illustrations on page 1. 1 POWER switch and indicator: Press the POWER switch to turn on the YST-MSW5; the power indicator lights up. Press again to turn off. Turn down the BASS and VOLUME controls before turning on and off the YST-MSW5. 2 BASS control: Use this control to adjust the volume of the YST-MSW5. Turn it clockwise to increase the volume; counterclockwise to decrease it. 3 VOLUME control: Use this control to adjust the vol- ume of the YST-MSW5 and other equipment connected to the rear panel LINE OUT jack. Active Servo POWERED MULTIMEDIA SUBWOOFER YST-MSW5 Technology POWER BASS VOLUME 0 10 0 10 1 23 Rear Panel 4 LINE IN: This 3.5 mm jack is used to input signals to the YST-MSW5. 5 LINE OUT: This jack is used to output the LINE IN signal to the main speakers. The low frequencies of the signal are cut before being output to the speakers. This prevents small speakers from becoming overloaded. 6 AUTO POWER switch: When the AUTO POWER switch is in the ON position, and no input signal is received after 5-10 minutes, the power is switched off automatically. (and the power indicator dims*) When an input signal is received, the power is switched back on automatically. When the AUTO POWER switch is in the OFF position, this Auto power on/off function doesn't work. * U.K. and Europe model only. LINE IN LINE OUT ABOVE 150Hz AUTO POWER ON OFF 45 6 Note: The power may switch off automatically when the input signal level is very low. If this does occur, increase the output level from the source device and reduce the YST-MSW5 VOLUME control accordingly. Volume Adjustment Refer to page 3. 5
