following the cautions below.

• To assure the finest performance, please read this

manual 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).

• Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,

contact your dealer.

• The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified

on the rear panel. Using this unit with a higher voltage

than specified is dangerous and may cause a fire and/or

electric shock.

• 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.

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

radiate from the rear panel. Place the unit apart from the

walls, allowing at least 20 cm of space 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.

• 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 the following objects on this unit:

Glass, china, small metallic etc.

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

bodily injury.

A burning candle etc.

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

bodily injury.

A vessel with water in it

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

cause damage to the speaker, 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 put a hand or a foreign object into the YST port

located on the right side of this unit. When moving this

unit, do not hold the port as it might cause personal

injury and/or damage to this unit.

• Never place a fragile object near the YST port of this

unit. If the object falls or drops by the air pressure, it may

cause damage to the 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 common operating errors before concluding

that the unit is faulty.

• Install this unit near the wall outlet and where the AC

power plug can be reached easily.

• Secure placement or installation is the owner’s

responsibility. YAMAHA shall not be liable for any

accident caused by improper placement or

installation of speakers.

CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit

• This subwoofer system employs Advanced Yamaha

Active Servo Technology II which Yamaha has

developed for reproducing higher quality super-bass

sound. (Refer to page 14 for details on Advanced

Yamaha Active Servo Technology II.) 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 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.

• The AUTO STANDBY function saves you the trouble

of pressing the STANDBY/ON button to turn the power

on and off.

• You can select bass effect suitable for the source by

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

• This subwoofer system is equipped with a linear port

unique to Yamaha that provides smooth bass response

during playback, minimizing extraneous noise not

included in the original input signal.

After unpacking, check that the following parts are

contained.

Non-skid pads

FEATURES

QD-Bass Technology

English

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical since low bass sounds are not highly directional. For a sonorous sound

field, although you can obtain a good effect with one subwoofer, the use of two subwoofers is recommended.

If using one subwoofer, we recommend that you place it on the outside of either the right or the left front speaker. (See

fig. .) If using two subwoofers, we recommend that you place them on the outside of each front speaker. (See fig. .)

The placement shown in fig. 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. or .

( : subwoofer, : front speaker)

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.

Use the non-skid pads

Put the provided non-skid pads at the four corners on the bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer from moving

by vibrations etc.

Choose one of the following two connecting methods that is more suitable for your audio system.

Choose (pages 4-5) if your amplifier has line output (pin jack) terminal(s)

Choose (pages 6-7) if your amplifier has no line output (pin jack) terminal

Caution: Do not connect the power cord of the subwoofer and other components into an AC

outlet until all connections between components are completed.

Note

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

owner’s manual of your component to be connected to the subwoofer.

• To connect with an amplifier (or AV receiver), 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.

• When connecting the subwoofer to the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals on the rear of the amplifier, be sure to connect

the /MONO INPUT2 terminal to the “L” side and the INPUT2 terminal to the “R” side of the SPLIT

SUBWOOFER terminals.

Notes

• Some amplifiers have line output terminals labeled PRE OUT. When you connect the subwoofer to the PRE OUT

terminals of the amplifier, make sure that the amplifier has at least two sets of PRE OUT terminals. If the amplifier has

only one set of PRE OUT terminals, do not connect the subwoofer to the PRE OUT terminals. Instead, connect the

subwoofer to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier. (Refer to pages 6-7.)

• When connecting to a monaural line output terminal of the amplifier, connect the /MONO INPUT2 terminal.

• When connecting to line output terminals of the amplifier, other speakers should not be connected to the OUTPUT

terminals on the rear panel of the subwoofer. If connected, they will not produce sound.

frequency*.

* The front speaker’s rated minimum reproducible

frequency can be looked up in the speakers’ catalog

or owner’s manual.

6 Increase the volume gradually to adjust the volume

balance between the subwoofer and the front speakers.

Normally, set the control to the level where you can

obtain a little more bass effect than when the

subwoofer is not used. If the desired response cannot

be obtained, adjust the HIGH CUT control and the

VOLUME control again.

7 Set the PHASE switch to the position which 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 listeners

enjoy more powerful sound.

MUSIC:

When an ordinary music source is played, the

excessive low-frequency components are cut off to

make the sound clearer.

Notes

• Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and

the front 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 front speakers to others,

you must make this adjustment again.

• For adjusting the VOLUME control, the HIGH CUT

control and the PHASE switch, refer to “Frequency

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.
