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.

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
QD-Bass (Quatre Dispersion Bass) technology is a
Yamaha unique technology to radiate the sound
efficiently in four horizontal direction.

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.

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.
