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.

● 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.

● 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 place a fragile object near the YST port of this

● 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

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 and off.

● You can select bass effect suitable for the source

by using the BASS switch.

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.

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.

( : subwoofer, : main speaker)

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.

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

on automatically by sensing audio signals input to the

subwoofer. On the other hand, the subwoofer automatically

switches to the standby mode if the source being played is

stopped or the input signal is cut off for a few minutes.

This function operates by sensing a certain level of low

frequency input signal. Its sensitivity is high in the HIGH

position and low in the LOW position of the AUTO

STANDBY switch. Set this switch to the position you prefer.

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 or LOW position.

* The level of low frequency input signal differs with each

source and among different parts within the same source.

This means that the function may not operate properly on

some sources.

* The level of low frequency input signal this function

senses is about 100 Hz.

This function is available only when the power of the

subwoofer is on (by setting the STANDBY/ON button to

“ON”).

7 PHASE switch

Normally this switch is to be set to the REV (reverse)

position. However, according to your speaker systems

or the listening condition, there may be a case when

better sound quality is obtained by setting this switch to

the NORM (normal) position. Select the better position

by monitoring the sound.

8 AUTO STANDBY (HIGH/LOW/OFF) switch

This switch is originally set to the OFF position. By

setting this switch to the HIGH or LOW position, the

subwoofer’s automatic power-switching function

operates as described below. If you do not need this

function, leave this switch in the OFF position.

* Make sure to change the setting of this switch only when

the STANDBY/ON (2) button is in the OFF position.

than the main speaker’s rated minimum reproducible

frequency*.

* The main speaker’s rated minimum reproducible

frequency can be looked up in the speakers’ catalog

or owner’s manual.

Before using the subwoofer, adjust the subwoofer to obtain the optimum volume and tone balance between the subwoofer and

the main speakers by following the procedures described below.

6 Increase the volume gradually to adjust the

volume balance between the subwoofer and

the main speakers.

Normally, set the control to the level where you can

obtain a little more bass effect than when this unit 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.

● 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.

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.

sont émis continuellement, ou lorsque l’aiguille d’un tourne-

disque est posée sur un disque en rotation, il faut réduire le

volume sonore afin que cet appareil ne soit pas endommagé.

●

Si une distorsion se fait entendre (par exemple des petits

coups secs intermittents ou un “martèlement”) sur cet appareil,

diminuer le niveau sonore. La lecture à très haut volume des

sons de basse ou des sons de basses fréquences de la bande

sonore d’un film, ou de passages de musique populaire de

forte intensité, sont susceptibles d’endommager ce système

d’enceintes.

●

Les vibrations provenant des fréquences très basses peuvent

causer de la distorsion sur l’image d’un téléviseur placé à

proximité. Si c’est la cas, éloigner l’appareil du téléviseur.

●

Ne pas essayer de nettoyer l’appareil avec des diluants

chimiques, ceci endommagerait le fini. Utiliser un chiffon

propre et sec.

●

Bien lire la section “EN CAS DE DIFFICULTE” concernant les

erreurs de fonctionnement communes avant de conclure que

votre appareil est en panne.

●

Le propriétaire du système est entièrement responsable

du bon positionnement et de la bonne installation du

système.

YAMAHA décline toute responsabilité en cas d’accident

causé par un positionnement ou une installation

inadéquats des enceintes.

Mode veille

Lorsque cet appareil est mis hors tension en appuyant sur la

touche STANDBY/ON du panneau avant, l’appareil consomme

une faible quantité de courant. Cet état est appelé mode veille.

L’alimentation électrique de cet appareil est coupée

complètement de la ligne d’alimentation CA seulement

lorsqu’on a mis l’interrupteur POWER du panneau arrière sur

la position OFF ou qu’on a débranché le cordon d’alimentation

CA.

Bien que cet appareil soit doté d’un blindage magnétique, il est

possible que la couleur des images d’un téléviseur placé à

proximité en soit affectée. Dans ce cas, éloigner cet appareil

du téléviseur.

PRECAUTIONS D’USAGE: Tenir compte des précautions ci-dessous avant de

faire fonctionner l’appareil.

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 commutation d’alimentation

automatique évite d’avoir à appuyer sur la touche

STANDBY/ON pour mettre le subwoofer sous et

hors tension.

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

source à l’aide du commutateur BASS.

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.

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.

( : Subwoofer, : Enceintes principales)

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.

CONNEXIONS

Attention: Brancher le subwoofer et les autres composants audio/vidéo après avoir accompli

tous les raccordements.

● Tous les branchements doivent être effectués correctement, c’est-à-dire entre “L” (gauche) et “L”, entre “R” (droite) et “R”,

entre “+” et “+” et entre “–” et “–”. Voir aussi le mode d’emploi de chacun des appareils.

● Le subwoofer peut être raccordé soit aux bornes de sortie de ligne (fiche jack) soit aux bornes de sortie d’enceintes de

l’amplificateur. Choisir parmi les possibilités illustrées dans ce chapitre celle qui convient le mieux à votre chaîne. Voir aussi

le mode d’emploi de l’appareil branché au subwoofer.

Fondamentalement, raccorder le subwoofer à la (aux) borne(s) de sortie de ligne (prise à broche) de l’amplificateur. (Pour

plus de détails, se reporter aux pages 4 et 5.) Si l’amplificateur n’est pas équipé d’une borne de sortie de ligne, raccorder le

subwoofer aux bornes de sortie d’enceintes de l’amplificateur. (Pour plus de détails, se reporter aux pages 6 et 7.)
