Controls
Front Panel
1POWER Switch and Indicator: Press to power on the
YST-SW20; the power indicator will light up. Press again to power
off. Before powering on and off, turn down the VOLUME control.
2HIGH CUT Switch: This switch selects the high-cut filter
frequency: Set it to either LOW or HIGH.
3VOLUME Control: Use this control to set the volume level. Turn
it clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise to
reduce it.
Auto Power On/Off Function
When powered on, if no input signal is received after 5–10 minutes,
the power is switched off automatically. When an input signal is
received, the power is switched back on automatically. This
function works only when the power switch is in the on position.
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-SW20 VOLUME control accordingly.
Rear Panel
4LINE 1 IN: This 3.5 mm stereo jack connection is for inputting
line-level signals to the YST-SW20.
5LINE 1 OUT: This connection can be used to feed the input signal
to other equipment.
6LINE 2: These RCA-pin jacks are for inputting speaker level
signals to the YST-SW20. They can be connected directly to the
speaker outputs of a stereo amplifier.

Cautions
Please read the following operating precautions before use:
• When disconnecting the power cord from an AC receptacle, hold
and pull the plug, not the cord.
• If the YST-SW20 is not going to be used for a while, disconnect it
from the AC receptacle.
• Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate from
the rear panel. Therefore, place the unit at least 10 cm (4 inches)
away from the wall. Also, do not position with the rear panel
facing down on the floor or other surface.
• Always disconnect from the AC receptacle before making any
connections.
• YST-SW20 does not contain any user serviceable parts. Refer all
servicing to your Yamaha dealer.
• Do not expose the YST-SW20 to temperature extremes, direct
sunlight, excessive dust, humidity, or vibration.
• Site the YST-SW20 on a level, stable surface. Do not drop the
YST-SW20, apply excessive force to its controls, or put heavy
items on top of it.
• If the YST-SW20 should require cleaning, use a soft cloth. If
necessary, a damp cloth.
• Do not to put some objects into it. If doing so, the sound will be
unnatural or it may cause damage to the speaker and/or amplifier.
• To protect the YST-SW20 speaker, avoid microphone feedback,
continuous and excessive output from electronic musical instru-
ments, excessive signal distortion,
• Although the YST-SW20 is magnetically shielded, keep floppy
disks and tapes away from it.
• The YST-SW20 may cause picture distortion when sited close to a
television or computer monitor. In this case, move it away a little.
