Introducing the YST-MS55D Speaker System
English
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha YST-MS55D Powered Multimedia Speakers.
The YST-MS55D Multimedia Speakers utilize Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology, which offers exception-
ally high performance, allowing these compact speakers to produce a rich bass sound. They also employ USB tech-
nology to create a computer-based listening environment that is far superior to conventional multimedia speakers.
They reproduce a clearer sound, with less noise and distortion, and never require a soundcard!
The YST-MS55D includes three speaker components: a left satellite speaker, a right satellite speaker, and a sub-
woofer.
Note: Do not connect the PC using the USB cable before installing the USB driver.
Please inspect the package contents thoroughly for damage. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact the
dealer from whom you purchased the YST-MS55D.
