Thank you for purchasing Yamaha’s YST-MSW5 Powered Multimedia Subwoofer. Yamaha’s Active Servo Technol-
ogy offers exceptionally high performance.
Cautions
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 the YST-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 elec-
tronic musical instruments, and excessive signal dis-
tortion.
• 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 pre-
vent 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 play-
back has started.

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

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 over-
loaded.
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.
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.
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.
