• Equipped with the high 1,000 W dynamic power Yamaha digital amplifier

• This subwoofer system employs Advanced Yamaha Active Servo

Technology II for a higher quality super-bass sound.

• Connect with 2 types of input terminals

The subwoofer can be connected through the subwoofer output terminal or the speaker

output terminal, enabling unlimited audio system combinations.

• Achieve the best super-bass sound through controls

For effective use of the subwoofer, the subwoofer’s super-bass sound should be matched

to the sounds of your front speakers. You can create the best sound quality for various

listening conditions by using the HIGH CUT control and the PHASE switch.

• Automatically switch the power to ON/STANDBY

With the AUTO STANDBY (HIGH/LOW/OFF) switch setting, automatically switches

ON/STANDBY by deciphering whether there are signals output from the amplifier. The

Automatic power-switching function saves you the trouble of pressing the ON/

STANDBY button to turn the power on and off.

• The subwoofer can be linked to a Yamaha component for simultaneous

power on/off operation.

Use the supplied system control cable to connect the subwoofer to a Yamaha component

that features a system connector jack. When you turn on or off the power of the

connected component, the subwoofer will also be turned on or off.

• Equipped with the smooth super-bass reproducing Twisted Flare Port

The flared, gently twisting shape diffuses the vortex of air generated around the edge of

the port, creating a smooth flow of air. This reduces extraneous noise not present in the

original input signal, and provides clear, accurate low frequency reproduction.

• Reproduces bass sounds appropriate for the source

The subwoofer can also reproduce a bass sound that is appropriate for the source.

It features a B.A.S.S. switch that enables you to select a bass effect that is suitable for the

source.

English

Since the low-end frequencies of audio signals feature long wavelengths, they are almost non-directional to human ears. The super-bass range does not create a stereo image. Therefore,

a single subwoofer may be enough to produce a high-quality super-bass sound. However, using two subwoofers (similarly to L and R front speakers) can enhance your acoustic

experience.

Place the subwoofer as shown in fig. , or for the optimum effect. : subwoofer : front speaker

Using one subwoofer

Place the subwoofer on the outside of either the left or right

front speaker.

Placing the subwoofer in between the left and right

front speakers

If you are placing the subwoofer in between the left and

right front speakers, position it slightly at an angle toward

the wall for better effect.

Using two subwoofers

Place them on the outside of each front speaker.

• Placing the subwoofers too close to a CRT-type TV may impair the picture color or cause a buzzing noise. In this case, place the subwoofers and TV at a separated position where these effects do

not occur. This is not an issue with LCD and plasma TVs.

• If the speaker volume is very loud, furniture or window glass may resonate and the subwoofer itself may vibrate. In this case, lower the volume level. To limit resonance, use a thick curtain or

similar cloth that tends to absorb sound vibrations effectively. Also, changing the subwoofer position may be helpful.

• Unplug the subwoofer and other audio/video components before making connections, and do

not plug them in until all connections are completed.

• Connecting methods and terminal names on your component (such as an amplifier or receiver)

may be different from those used in this book. Please refer to the owner’s manual that came

with your component.

• All connections must be correct, that is to say L (left) to L; R (right) to R; “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”.

Audio signals input from the /MONO and INPUT 2 terminals on the subwoofer will not be output from the OUTPUT (TO SPEAKERS) terminals.

Connecting one subwoofer

Connect the SUBWOOFER (or LOW PASS, etc.) terminal on the rear of the amplifier (or

AV receiver) to the /MONO INPUT2 terminal of the subwoofer using a commercially-

available Mono pin cable (1).

Alternatively,

When connecting the subwoofer to the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals (

featuring L and R

channels) on the rear panel of the amplifier, use a commercially-available Audio pin

cable (2) to connect the

/MONO INPUT2 terminal to the “L” side, and the INPUT2

terminal to the “R” side of the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals.

Connecting two subwoofers

Connecting to the INPUT3 (LFE) terminal

If your amplifier (or receiver) can cut off high frequencies

from signals sent to the subwoofer, connect the amplifier to

the subwoofer’s INPUT3 (LFE) terminal.

This will promote higher sound quality because the signal

routing in the subwoofer is shortened by bypassing the built-

in HIGH CUT circuit.

Note

This function automatically places the subwoofer in standby mode if the subwoofer does not detect a signal from the

amplifier for a certain period of time. The subwoofer automatically turns on as soon as it detects a signal from the

amplifier.

The Automatic power-switching function works as follows when the AUTO STANDBY (HIGH/LOW/OFF) switch is set

to LOW or HIGH. (Normally, set the switch to LOW.)

How the Automatic power-switching function works

*1

When the Automatic power-switching function is enabled, the subwoofer will detect a bass signal input of below 200Hz (such as sound effects

of explosion in action movies, bass guitar or bass drum sound, etc.).

*2

This value may vary depending on the system environment. For example, it may be affected by noise generated from other equipment.

• The POWER switch on the rear panel () page 4) must be set to ON in advance.

• The Automatic power-switching function can be activated when the following conditions are met:

-The unit is powered ON

-The AUTO STANDBY switch is set to LOW or HIGH

• If the STANDBY/ON switch on the front panel () page 4) is pressed and the unit is turned OFF while the unit is in standby

mode (the indicator is lit in red), the Automatic power-switching function is canceled. Pressing the STANDBY/ON switch again

or turning the power of the component connected via system connection on again turns the unit power ON and the Automatic

power-switching function can be activated again.

Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF before you set the AUTO STANDBY switch.

LOW: The Automatic power-switching function activates at a certain level of input signal. To enable the function, select

this position.

HIGH:If the Automatic power-switching function does not work well when the AUTO STANDBY switch is set to LOW,

select this position. If the function still does not work, slightly raise the LFE LEVEL on the amplifier.

OFF: The Automatic power-switching function may unexpectedly activate due to the system environment, for example,

if the subwoofer detects noise generated from the peripheral components. In this case, select this position to disable

the Automatic power-switching function, and manually turn the unit on or off by using the POWER switch or the

STANDBY/ON switch.

• The subwoofer uses a small amount of power in auto-standby mode.

• If you plan not to use the subwoofer for a long period of time, set the POWER switch on the rear panel to OFF, or unplug the

power cable from the AC outlet.

AUTOMATIC POWER-SWITCHING FUNCTION

To achieve natural sound with an effective super-bass component, you must adjust the volume and tone balance between the subwoofer and the front speakers. Follow the procedure

described below. If your amplifier or other component connected to the system features subwoofer settings, make the appropriate settings on that component.

ADJUSTING THE BALANCE

Rear panelFront

10 En

English

ADJUSTING THE BALANCE

1. Set the VOLUME control to minimum (0).

2. Turn on the power to the component(s) connected to the subwoofer.

If the component is connected to the subwoofer’s SYSTEM CONNECTOR jack, turn

on the power to that component.

3. Turn the POWER switch ON or press the STANDBY/ON switch to turn on the unit.

* The indicator lights green.

4. Play a source that contains low-frequency components and adjust the output level of

the front speakers using the amplifier’s volume control to the desired listening level.

(Set all tone controls to flat.)

5. Adjust the HIGH CUT control to the position where the desired response can be

obtained.

Normally, set the control to a level a little higher than the front speaker’s rated

minimum reproducible frequency*.

* The front speaker’s rated minimum reproducible frequency can be looked up in the speakers’ catalog

or owner’s manual.

* The HIGH CUT control has no effect on signals input to the INPUT 3 LFE terminal. () page 5)

6. Increase the volume gradually to adjust the volume balance between the subwoofer and

the front speakers.

Normally, set the control to a level where you can obtain a little more bass effect than

when the subwoofer is not used.

7. Set the PHASE switch to the position which yields the more natural (or preferable)

phasing.

8. Set the B.A.S.S. switch to “MOVIE” or “MUSIC” according to the played source.

MOVIE:

When a movie type source is played, the low-frequency effects are enhanced to allow

listeners to enjoy a more powerful sound. (The sound will be richer and deeper.)

MUSIC:

When an ordinary music source is played, the excessive low-frequency components are

cut off to make the sound clearer. (The sound will carry less bass and reproduce the

melody line more clearly.)

Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and the front speakers is adjusted, you can

adjust the volume of your entire sound system by using the amplifier’s volume control.

However, if you replace the front speakers, you will need to make this adjustment again.

PHASE switch

In most situations, set this switch to select the reverse mode. However, depending

on your speaker systems or listening condition, there may be a case when better

sound quality is obtained by selecting the normal mode. Select the better mode by

monitoring the sound.

In 1988, Yamaha brought to the marketplace speaker systems utilizing YST (Yamaha

Active Servo Technology) to give powerful, high quality bass reproduction. This technique

uses a direct connection between the amplifier and speaker, allowing accurate signal

transmission and precise speaker control.

As this technology uses speaker units controlled by the negative impedance drive of the

amplifier and resonance generated between the speaker cabinet volume and port, it creates

more resonant energy (the “air woofer” concept) than the standard bass reflex method. This

allows for bass reproduction from much smaller cabinets than was previously possible.

Yamaha’s newly developed Advanced YST II adds many refinements to Yamaha Active

Servo Technology, allowing better control of the forces driving the amplifier and speaker.

From the amplifier’s point of view, the speaker impedance changes depending on the sound

frequency. Yamaha developed a new circuit design combining negative-impedance and

constant-current drives, which provides a more stable performance and clear bass

reproduction, without any murkiness.

Today’s bass reflex speakers use a Helmholtz

resonator to improve their bass reproduction.

However when reproducing bass that is in the

frequency region of this Helmholtz resonator,

air moves violently in and out through the port

between the interior and exterior of the

speaker, sometimes producing noise due to the

turbulent air flow at the end of the port.

The port and the cabinet resonate at a frequency that is determined by their dimensions and

shape. On the other hand, turbulence in the air flow at the end of the port contains a broad

range of frequency components that are not present in the input signal. This noise occurs

because the broad range of frequency components includes components that match the

resonant frequencies of the port and cabinet, causing strong resonance.

The Twisted Flare Port developed by Yamaha changes the way in which the port widens

toward its end, and also adds a “twist” to suppress airflow turbulence at each end of the port

and thus prevent noise from occurring.

This eliminates the “muddy sound” and “wind noise” that until now have been

characteristic of bass reflex speakers, allowing bass to be reproduced clearly.

Yamaha décline toute responsabilité en cas de dommages

et/ou de blessures découlant du non respect de ces

consignes.

• Pour utiliser l’appareil au mieux de ses possibilités, lisez

attentivement ce mode d’emploi. Conservez-le

soigneusement pour référence.

• Installez cet appareil dans un endroit frais, sec et propre,

à l’écart des fenêtres et à l’abri des sources de chaleur,

des vibrations, de la poussière, de l’humidité et du froid.

Évitez toute source de bruit électrique (transformateurs,

moteurs). Pour éviter un incendie ou une électrocution,

n’exposez pas cet appareil à la pluie ni à l’humidité.

• La tension à utiliser est indiquée sur le panneau arrière.

Il est dangereux d’utiliser cet appareil avec une tension

supérieure à celle spécifiée, car vous risquez de

provoquer un incendie et/ou de vous électrocuter.

• Ne forcez pas sur les prises, les commandes ou les câbles

de connexion. Lorsque vous déplacez cet appareil,

veillez tout d’abord à débrancher la prise et les câbles

connectés à un autre équipement. Ne tirez jamais sur les

câbles mêmes; saisissez toujours leur fiche.

• Si vous n’utilisez pas cet appareil pendant une période

prolongée (par exemple lorsque vous partez en vacances),

débranchez le câble d’alimentation de la prise secteur.

• En cas d’orage, débranchez le câble d’alimentation de la

prise secteur afin de ne pas endommager l’appareil.

• Cet appareil est muni d’un amplificateur de puissance

intégré et dégage donc de la chaleur par son panneau arrière.

N’installez pas l’appareil trop près d’un mur ; laissez au

moins 20 cm au dessus, derrière et sur les côtés afin d’éviter

tout risque d’incendie. Veillez en outre à ne pas placer le

panneau arrière face au sol ou à une autre surface.

• Ne couvrez pas le panneau arrière de cet appareil avec un

journal, une nappe, un rideau, etc., afin d’éviter

l’accumulation de chaleur à l’intérieur de l’appareil.

L’augmentation de la température interne peut

provoquer un incendie ou endommager l’appareil.

• Ne placez pas les objets suivants sur l’appareil :

- Des objets en verre, en porcelaine, de petits objets

métalliques, etc.

Les vibrations risqueraient de faire tomber ces objets et

de causer des blessures.

- Une bougie se consumant, etc.

Si la bougie venait à tomber sous l’effet des vibrations,

cela pourrait provoquer un incendie et des blessures.

- Un récipient contenant de l’eau

Si le récipient venait à tomber sous l’effet des

vibrations et que l’eau se répande, ceci risquerait

d’endommager l’enceinte et/ou de provoquer une

électrocution.

• Évitez de placer cet appareil à proximité de substances

dangereuses. Vous risquez de provoquer un incendie ou

de vous blesser.

• N’introduisez jamais votre main ou un objet dans le port

YST situé sur le côté droit de l’appareil. Lorsque vous

déplacez l’appareil, veillez à ne pas le saisir par ce port ;

vous risquez de vous blesser et/ou d’endommager

l’appareil.

• Ne placez aucun objet fragile à proximité du port YST de

cet appareil. Si l’objet tombe à cause de la pression de

l’air, vous risquez d’endommager l’appareil ou de vous

blesser.

• N’ouvrez le coffret sous aucun prétexte. Vous risquez de

vous électrocuter, car cet appareil fonctionne sous haute

tension. Vous risquez également de vous blesser et/ou

d’endommager l’appareil. Si un objet tombe par mégarde

à l’intérieur de l’appareil, contactez votre revendeur.

• Si vous utilisez un humidificateur, veillez à éviter la

condensation à l’intérieur de l’appareil. Pour cela, laissez

de l’espace autour de l’appareil et évitez une trop forte

humidification. La condensation peut provoquer un

incendie, une électrocution ou endommager l’appareil.

• Les très basses fréquences produites par cet appareil

peuvent provoquer un effet Larsen quand vous utilisez

une platine. Le cas échéant, éloignez l’appareil de la

platine.

• Vous risquez d’endommager l’appareil si certains sons

sont continuellement émis à un volume important. Par

exemple, si vous reproduisez continuellement les ondes

sinusoïdales d’un disque de test comprises entre 20 Hz et

100 Hz ou les graves d’instruments électroniques, ou si

l’aiguille d’une platine touche la surface d’un disque,

réduisez le niveau de volume afin de ne pas endommager

l’appareil.

• Si vous remarquez une distorsion du son (notamment

lorsque le son manque de naturel, ou si des petits coups

secs intermittents ou un “martèlement” se produisent),

diminuez le volume. La reproduction des sons de basses

fréquences de forte intensité contenus dans les bandes

originales de films à un volume excessif risque

d’endommager cette enceinte.

• Les vibrations générées par les très basses fréquences

risquent de déformer les images sur un téléviseur. Le cas

échéant, éloignez l’appareil du téléviseur.

• Ne nettoyez pas l’appareil au moyen de solvants

chimiques, car vous risquez d’endommager la finition.

Utilisez un chiffon propre et sec.

• Lisez attentivement la section “DÉPANNAGE” avant de

conclure que l’appareil est défectueux.

• Installez cet appareil à proximité d’une prise secteur et

dans un endroit où le câble d’alimentation est facilement

accessible.

• L’utilisateur est entièrement responsable de la mise

en place et de l’installation correctes du système.
