Yamaha MSP3 Owner's Manual page 3

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MSP3 monitor speaker system. The
MSP3 features a compact bass reflex cabinet, with a 10 cm two-way cone speaker
and a 2.2 cm dome speaker. This powered bi-amplifier speaker system faithfully
reproduces sound and can be used for a wide range of applications, from per-
sonal home recordings to serious professional use. Please read this Owner's
Manual thoroughly to make the best use of the MSP3's quality functions for the
longest period of time, and keep the manual in a safe place.
Precautions
Warning
• Connect this unit's power cord only to an AC outlet of
the type stated in this Owner's Manual or as marked on
the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock
hazard.
• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to
become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top
of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and
electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to
place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.
• Do not insert or drop metal or flammable objects into
the port of this unit. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not place a container with liquid or small metal
objects on top of this unit. Liquid or metal objects
inside this unit are a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power
cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
• If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power switch of
the unit as soon as possible, and unplug the power cable
plug from the electrical outlet.
• If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch the
power cable plug if it is still connected. Doing so may be
an electrical shock hazard.
• Do not remove the unit's cover. You could receive an
electrical shock. If you think internal inspection, main-
tenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.
• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is
exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the
unit with a damaged power cord is a fire and electrical
shock hazard.
• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or
noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit,
turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the
AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the unit
in this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be damaged,
turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from
the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue
using the unit without heeding this instruction, fire or
electrical shock may result.
Cautions
• Keep this unit away from the following locations:
– Locations exposed to oil splashes or steam, such as
near cooking stoves, humidifiers, etc.
– Unstable surfaces, such as a wobbly table or slope.
– Locations exposed to excessive heat, such as inside a
car with all the windows closed, or places that receive
direct sunlight.
– Locations subject to excessive humidity or dust accu-
mulation.
• Do not place the power cord close to a heater. It may
melt, causing fire or electrical shock.
• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from
an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged power
cord is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing so
is a potential electrical shock hazard.
• When rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free space
around the unit for normal ventilation. This should be:
10 cm at the sides, 20 cm behind, and 30 cm above.
For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear of
the rack or open a ventilation hole.
If the airflow is not adequate, the unit will heat up
inside and may cause a fire.
• A speaker system placed on top of a table may move
gradually due to vibration and may eventually fall off
the table, causing damage or injury. In such an installa-
tion, fix the speaker system to the table and check it
occasionally.
