Connections and setup

1. Connect the power cord to a suitable AC outlet.

2. Start the Macintosh.

3. Connect this unit to a USB port on the com-

puter using the supplied USB cable.
The driver software for USB audio is automati-
cally installed.

4. Press

button to turn on this unit.

Checking sound output and adjusting volume

1. Make the following operations on the front

panel of this unit.
a) Press

button to turn on this unit.

b) Use the volume control to adjust the volume.

2. Check that the sound is output normally by out-

putting “Alert Sounds”, etc. from “Sound” on
the “Control Panels” on the Macintosh.

3. Adjust the volume by dragging the “Sound” tab

on the “Control Panels”. Set the tab between
the center and max. position.

Note:

• The sound output destination cannot be changed

from “Choose a device for sound output” on the
“Control Panels”. When using the internal speaker
of the Macintosh as the sound output destination,
disconnect the USB cable connecting this unit and
the Macintosh.

• When using headphones with this unit connected

to the USB port on the Macintosh, use the head-
phone jack on this unit, not the jack on the Macin-
tosh.

• Since the Macintosh issues a start-up sound at

power-on before the sound signal via the USB con-
nection is activated, the start-up sound cannot be
issued via the USB connection. To play the start-
up sound via this unit, you need a separate analog
connection between this unit and the Macintosh.
(When USB MIX is set to “ON” from the Setup
Panel of the Application Software, you can mix the
start-up sound via the analog connection with the
same sound via the USB connection without mak-
ing any change in the input selector settings.)

Connecting to a non-USB system

You can input analog audio signals into Inputs 1 and 2 (3.5 mm stereo mini plug input jacks) on the rear of right sat-
ellite speaker and use the YST-MS55D system like conventional multimedia speakers. (For example, you can con-
nect the outputs from a soundcard.)

Some games software does not support USB. In this case, instead of using the USB connection, connect Input 1 or 2
on the rear of right satellite speaker to the audio output jack on your computer using a 3.5 mm stereo mini plug
cable, and specify your card type. (For move information on setting, consult your computer manual or computer
dealer.)

Adjusting the Volume, Bass, and Treble

First adjust the volume levels, bass, and treble using software controls (such as the Windows 98 Volume Control
panel). After adjustment, use the VOLUME control on the right speaker to set the volume level of the speakers.
