carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

● Install this unit in a cool, dry, clean place – away from windows,

heat sources, sources of excessive vibration, dust, moisture and

cold. Avoid sources of humming (transformers, motors). To

prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose this unit to rain or

water.

● Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact

your dealer.

● To reduce the risk or fire or electric shock, do not expose this

unit to rain or moisture.

● Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.

When moving the unit, first disconnect the power plug and the

wires connected to other equipments. Never pull the wires

themselves.

● When not planning to use this unit for a long period (ie.,

vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall

outlet.

● To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug

when there is an electric storm.

● Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate

from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the walls, allowing

enough spaces above, behind and on both sides of the unit to

prevent fire or damage. Furthermore, do not position with the

rear panel facing down on the floor or other surfaces.

Be sure to allow spaces of at least 20 cm above, behind and on

both sides of the unit.

● Do not cover the rear panel of this unit with a newspaper, a

tablecloth, a curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If

the temperature inside the unit rises, it may cause fire, damage

to the unit and/or personal injury.

● Do not place small metallic objects on this unit. Otherwise, the

object may fall, possibly causing an injury.

● Do not place the following objects on this unit:

Glass, china, etc.

If glass etc. falls by vibrations and breaks, it may cause

personal injury.

A burning candle etc.

If the candle falls by vibrations, it may cause fire and personal

injury.

A vessel with water in it

If the vessel falls by vibrations and water spills, it may cause

damage to the unit, and/or you may get an electric shock.

● Do not place this unit where foreign objects such as water drips

might fall. It might cause a fire, damage to this unit, and/or

personal injury.

● Never open the cabinet. It might cause an electric shock since

this unit uses a high voltage. It might also cause personal injury

and/or damage to this unit.

● When using a humidifier, be sure to avoid condensation inside

this unit by allowing enough spaces around this unit or avoiding

excess humidification. Condensation might cause a fire, damage

to this unit, and/or electric shock.

● Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may cause a

turntable to generate a howling sound. In such a case, move this

unit away from the turntable.

● This unit may be damaged if certain sounds are continuously

outputted at high volume level. For example, if 20 Hz–50 Hz sine

waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic instruments,

etc. are continuously outputted, or when the stylus of a turntable

touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent

this unit from being damaged.

● If you hear distorted noise (i.e., unnatural, intermittent “rapping”

or “hammering” sounds) coming from this unit, reduce the

volume level. Extremely loud playing of a movie soundtrack’s low

frequency, bass-heavy sounds or similarly loud popular music

passages can damage this speaker system.

● Vibration generated by super-bass frequencies may distort

images on a TV. In such a case, move this unit away from the TV

set

● Do not attempt to clean this unit with chemical solvents as this

might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

● Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding

FEATURES

• This subwoofer system employs Advanced

YAMAHA Active Servo Technology which YAMAHA

has developed for reproducing higher quality

super-bass sound. (Refer to page 12 for details on

Advanced YAMAHA Active Servo Technology.) This

super-bass sound adds a more realistic, theater-in-

the-home effect to your stereo system.

• This subwoofer can be easily added to your

existing audio system by connecting to either the

speaker terminals or the line output (pin jack)

terminals of the amplifier.

• For the effective use of this unit, this unit’s super-

bass sound should be matched to the sounds of

your main speakers. You can create the best

sound quality for various listening conditions by

using the HIGH CUT control and the PHASE

switch.

• The Automatic power-switching function saves you

the trouble of pressing the STANDBY/ON button to

turn the power on or turn it to the STANDBY mode.

• You can select bass effect suitable for the source

by using the B.A.S.S. button.

E-3

PLACEMENT

One subwoofer will have a good effect on your audio

system, however, the use of two subwoofers is

recommended to obtain more effect.

If using one subwoofer, it is recommended to place it on the

outside of either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig.

Å.) If using two subwoofers, it is recommended to place

them on the outside of each main speaker. (See fig. ı.) The

placement shown in fig. Ç is also possible, however, if the

subwoofer system is placed directly facing the wall, the

bass effect may die because the sound from it and the

sound reflected by the wall may cancel out each other. To

prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer system at

an angle as in fig. Å or ı.

( : subwoofer, : main speaker)

Çı

Å

Use the nonskid pads

Put the provided nonskid pads at the four corners on the

bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer from

moving by vibrations etc.

Note

There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough super-

bass sounds from the subwoofer when listening in the

center of the room. This is because “standing waves” have

been developed between two parallel walls and they cancel

the bass sounds.

In such a case, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. It

also may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces by

placing bookshelves etc. along the walls.

If the source being played is stopped and the input signal is

cut off for 7 to 8 minutes, the subwoofer automatically

switches to the standby mode. (When the subwoofer

switches to the standby mode by the automatic power-

switching function, the power indicator lights up in red.)

When you play a source again, the power of the subwoofer

turns on automatically by sensing audio signals input to the

subwoofer.

This function operates by sensing a certain level of low

frequency input signal. Usually set the AUTO STANDBY

switch to the LOW position. However, if the power is not

switched to ON or STANDBY smoothly, set the switch to the

HIGH position. In the HIGH position, the power will turn on

even with a low level of input signal. But please be aware

that the subwoofer may not switch to the standby mode

when there is an extremely low input signal.

* The power might turn on unexpectedly by sensing noise

from other appliances. If that occurs, set the AUTO

STANDBY switch to the OFF position and use the

STANDBY/ON button to switch the power between ON

and STANDBY manually.

* This function detects the low-frequency components

below 200 Hz of the input signals (i.e., the explosion in

the action movie, the sound of the bass guitar or the bass

drum, etc.).

* The minutes required to switch the subwoofer to the

standby mode might change by sensing noise from other

appliances.

This function is available only when the power of the

subwoofer is on (by pressing the STANDBY/ON button).

gives you the better bass sound.

Normally, set the switch to the REV (reverse)

position. If the desired response cannot be

obtained, set the switch to the NORM (normal)

position.

8 Select “MOVIE” or “MUSIC” according to the

played source.

MOVIE: When a movie type source is played, the

low-frequency effects are enhanced to allow the

listener enjoy more powerful sound. (The sound

will be thicker 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 be lighter and reproduces the melody line

more clearly.)

• Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and

the main speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the

volume of your whole sound system by using the

amplifier’s volume control.

However, if you change the main speakers to others,

you must make this adjustment again.

• For adjusting the VOLUME control, the HIGH CUT

ADVANCED YAMAHA ACTIVE SERVO TECHNOLOGY

The theory of Yamaha Active Servo Technology has been

based upon two major factors, the Helmholtz resonator and

negative-impedance drive. Active Servo Processing

speakers reproduce the bass frequencies through an “air

woofer”, which is a port or opening in the speaker’s cabinet.

This opening is used instead of, and performs the functions

of, a woofer in a conventionally designed speaker system.

Thus, signals of low amplitude within the cabinet can,

according to the Helmholtz resonance theory, be outputted

from this opening as waves of great amplitude if the size of

the opening and the volume of the cabinet are in the correct

proportion to satisfy a certain ratio.

In order to accomplish this, moreover, the amplitudes within

the cabinet must be both precise and of sufficient power

because these amplitudes must overcome the “load”

presented by the air that exists within the cabinet.

Thus it is this problem that is resolved through the

employment of a new design in which the amplifier supplies

special signals. If the electrical resistance of the voice coil

could be reduced to zero, the movement of the speaker unit

would become linear with respect to signal voltage. To

accomplish this, a special negative-impedance output-drive

amplifier for subtracting output impedance of the amplifier is

used.

By employing negative-impedance drive circuits, the

amplifier is able to generate precise, low-amplitude, low-

frequency waves with superior damping characteristics.

These waves are then radiated from the cabinet opening as

high-amplitude signals. The system can, therefore, by

employing the negative-impedance output drive amplifier

and a speaker cabinet with the Helmholtz resonator,

reproduce an extremely wide range of frequencies with

amazing sound quality and less distortion.

The features described above, then, are combined to be the

fundamental structure of the conventional Yamaha Active

Servo Technology.

Our new Active Servo Technology — Advanced Yamaha

Active Servo Technology — adopted Advanced Negative

Impedance Converter (ANIC) circuits, which allows the

conventional negative impedance converter to dynamically

vary in order to select an optimum value for speaker

impedance variation. With this new ANIC circuits, Advanced

Yamaha Active Servo Technology can provide more stable

performance and improved sound pressure compared with

the conventional Yamaha Active Servo Technology, resulting

in more natural and dynamic bass reproduction.

CARACTERISTIQUES

• Ce subwoofer utilise Advanced YAMAHA Active

Servo Technology mise au point par YAMAHA pour

la reproduction de basses fréquences de meilleure

qualité. (En ce qui concerne Advanced YAMAHA

Active Servo Technology, se reporter à la page 12.)

Ces basses fréquences ajoutent un effet réaliste

cinématographique aux sons fournis par une

chaîne stéréo.

• Ce subwoofer peut être facilement ajouté à votre

chaîne actuelle en le raccordant soit aux bornes

d’enceintes soit aux bornes de sortie de ligne

(fiche Cinch) de l’amplificateur.

• Pour utiliser au mieux les possibilités de cet

appareil, les basses fréquences de ce subwoofer

doivent être harmonisés avec les sons des

enceintes principales. De plus, il est possible

d’optimiser la qualité sonore suivant les conditions

d’écoute au moyen de la commande HIGH CUT et

du commutateur PHASE.

• La fonction de commutation d’alimentation

automatique évite d’avoir à appuyer sur la touche

STANDBY/ON pour mettre le subwoofer hors

tension ou en mode STANDBY.

• L’effet de basses peut être réglé en fonction de la

source à l’aide du commutateur B.A.S.S.

Français

POSITIONNEMENT

L’utilisation d’un seul subwoofer dans une chaîne donne

déjà de bons résultats, cependant l’utilisation de deux

subwoofer est recommandée pour accroître l’effet du son.

Lorsqu’on utilise un seul subwoofer, il est recommandé de

le placer sur le côté extérieur de l’enceinte principale droite

ou gauche. (Voir la fig. Å.) Lorsqu’on utilise deux

subwoofer, il est recommandé de les placer sur le côté

extérieur de chacune des enceintes principales. (Voir la fig.

ı.) Il est également possible de positionner les enceintes

comme indiqué à la fig. Ç ; cependant, si le subwoofer est

placé directement contre le mur, l’effet de basse pourra se

trouver supprimé car le son émis par l’enceinte et le son

renvoyé par le mur s’annuleront mutuellement. Pour éviter

ce problème, placer le subwoofer à angle oblique par

rapport au mur, comme indiqué sur la fig. Å ou ı.

( : subwoofer, : Enceintes principales)

Çı

Å

Remarque

Les sons de très basses fréquences du subwoofer peuvent

quelquefois être trop faiblement perçus à partir d’une

position d’écoute en milieu de pièce. Les ondes renvoyées

par deux murs parallèles peuvent en effet s’annuler

mutuellement et supprimer les sons de basses.

Dans un tel cas, diriger le subwoofer obliquement par

rapport au mur. Il peut être également nécessaire de

modifier le parallélisme des surfaces murales en plaçant

des étagères etc. le long des murs.

Utiliser les tampons anti-dérapage

Mettre les tampons anti-dérapage fournis aux quatre coins

du bas du subwoofer afin d’empêcher le subwoofer de

bouger sous l’effet des vibrations, etc.
