3 English FCC INFORMATION (for US customers only) YAMAHA and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion – and, most importantly, without affecting your s[...]

4 1. To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference. 2. 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, d[...]

5 English • This subwoofer system employs YAMAHA Active Servo Technology which YAMAHA developed for reproducing higher quality super-bass sound. (Refer to page 11 for details on Active Servo Technology.) This unit does not only enhance bass frequency response of sound output in your audio system, but, by reproducing the bass frequencies, the subw[...]

6 • Before attempting to make any connections to or from this unit, be sure to first switch OFF the power to this unit and to any other components to which connections are being made. • When making connections between this unit and other components, be sure all connections are made correctly and consistently, that is to say L (left) to L , R (r[...]

7 English If y our amplifier has tw o sets of speaker terminals For connections, cut the speaker wires as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be un[...]

CONNECTING T O LINE OUTPUT (PIN JA CK) TERMINALS OF THE AMPLIFIER • Leave the main speakers connected to the amplifier. • Amplifier line output terminals are generally labeled PRE OUT or SUBWOOFER OUT. * For PRE OUT terminal connection, the amplifier must possess at least two sets of PRE OUT terminals. With some amplifiers with only one set of [...]

9 English Front panel Rear panel 1 POWER indicator Lights up when the POWER switch is turned ON, and goes off when turned OFF. * < For U.K. and Europe models only > If the AUTO POWER ON/OFF switch on the rear panel is set to ON, this indicator is illuminated dimly when no signal is input to this unit. 2 POWER switch Turns the power of this un[...]

10 1 Set the VOLUME control to minimum. 2 Turn on the power supply to all the components. 3 Play any source and adjust the amplifier’s volume control to the desired listening level. 4 Turn up the VOLUME control gradually to adjust the volume balance between this unit and the main speakers. 5 Adjust the HIGH CUT control to the position where the d[...]

11 English A CTIVE SER V O TECHNOLOGY The theory of Active Servo Technology is 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 p[...]

12 SYMPTOM Power is not supplied even though the POWER switch is ON. No sound . Sound level is too low. CAUSE The power plug is not securely connected. The VOLUME control is set to 0. Speaker cables are not connected securely. Speaker cables are connected incorrectly. A source sound with few bass frequencies is played. It is influenced by standing [...]

18 RA CCORDEMENT A UX BORNES DE SORTIE DE LIGNE (FICHE J ACK) DE L ’AMPLIFICA TEUR • Laisser les enceintes principales raccordées à l’amplificateur. • Les bornes de sortie de ligne de l’amplificateur s’appellent généralement PRE OUT ou SUBWOOFER OUT. * Pour le raccordement à la borne PRE OUT, l’amplificateur doit être doté d’[...]

19 Français 1 Voyant POWER S’allume lorsque l’interrupteur POWER est en circuit, et s’éteint lorsqu’il est hors circuit. * < Modèles pour le Royaume-Uni et l’Europe seulement > Si l’interrupteur AUTO POWER ON/OFF situé sur le panneau arrière se trouve sur la position ON, ce voyant s’allume faiblement lorsqu’aucun signal n[...]

20 1 Mettre la commande VOLUME au minimum. 2 Mettre tous les composants sous tension. 3 Enclencher la lecture sur une source sonore et mettre la commande de volume de l’amplificateur sur le niveau d’écoute désiré. 4 Tourner en augmentant doucement la commande VOLUME afin de régler l’équilibre de volume entre cet appareil et les enceintes[...]

21 Français TECHNOLOGIE DE L ’ASSER VISSEMENT A CTIF La théorie de la technologie de l’asservissement actif repose sur deux principes: cavité résonnante de Helmotz et circuit d’attaque d’amplificateur à impédance négative. Une enceinte à asservissement actif reproduit les basses fréquences à travers un “woofer à air” qui est [...]

22 SYMPTOME L’alimentation électrique ne s’effectue pas, bien que l’interrupteur POWER est sur la position ON. Pas de son. Le niveau sonore est trop bas. CAUSE La fiche d’alimentation n’est pas fermement branchée. La commande VOLUME est sur 0. Les câbles d’enceintes ne sont pas fermement raccordés. Les câbles d’enceintes sont inc[...]
