• When disconnecting the AC adaptor from an AC receptacle, hold and pull the
adaptor, not the power cord.
• If the YST-M8 are not going to be used for a while, disconnect the AC adaptor
from the AC receptacle.
• Always disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC receptacle before making any

dust, humidity, or vibration.
• 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.
