caused by not 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). 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 equipment. 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
output 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 output, 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 unit features a magnetically shielded design, but
there is still a chance that placing it too close to a TV set
might impair picture color. Should this happen, move
this unit away from the TV set.
This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this
unit itself is turned off. In this state, this unit is designed
to consume a very small quantity of power.

This subwoofer system employs Advanced Yamaha
Active Servo Technology II, which Yamaha has
developed for reproducing higher quality super-bass
sound (refer to page 15 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 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.
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.

( : subwoofer : main speaker)
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
A). If using two subwoofers, it is recommended to place
them on the outside of each main speaker (see B). The
placement shown in C 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 A or B.
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.

2 Turn on the power of all the other components.
3 Make sure that the POWER switch on the rear panel is
set to the ON position, then press the STANDBY/ON
switch on the front panel to turn on the subwoofer.
* The status indicator lights up in green.
4 Play a source containing low-frequency signals and
adjust the amplifier’s volume control to the desired
listening level.
5 Adjust the HIGH CUT control to the position where
the desired response can be obtained. Normally, set the
control to the level a little higher 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.
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 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.
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
control and the PHASE switch, refer to
“FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS” on page 14.

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 bass
reproduction from much smaller cabinets than before.
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

Nous vous remercions d’avoir porté votre choix sur ce subwoofer de Yamaha.
Tenir compte des précautions ci-dessous avant de faire
fonctionner l’appareil. Yamaha ne saurait être tenue pour
responsable de tout dommage et/ou blessure dûs à un non-respect
des mises en garde ci-dessous.
Pour garantir les meilleures performances possibles, lire ce
manuel avec attention. Le garder dans un endroit sûr
pour une utilisation ultérieure.
Installer cette unité dans un endroit frais, sec et propre - loin des
fenêtres, sources de chaleur et d’endroits où les vibrations, la
poussière, l’humidité ou le froid sont importants. Eviter les
sources de bourdonnements (transformateurs, moteurs). Pour
éviter les incendies ou les électrocutions, ne pas exposer cette
unité à la pluie ni à l’humidité.
Ne jamais ouvrir le boîtier. Si quelque chose tombe dedans,
contacter immédiatement le revendeur.
La tension à utiliser doit être la même que celle spécifiée sur le
panneau arrière. Utiliser cet appareil avec une plus haute
tension que celle spécifiée est dangereux et peut causer un
incendie et/ou causer une électrocution.
Afin d’éviter tout risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution, ne pas
exposer cet appareil à la pluie ni à l’humidité.
•N
e pas forcer les commutateurs, les touches ou les câbles de
raccordement. Lors du déplacement de l’appareil, d’abord débrancher
la prise d’alimentation et les câbles le raccordant à d’autres appareils.
Ne jamais tirer sur les cordons.
Lorsqu on prévoit de ne pas utiliser cet appareil pendant
longtemps (pendant les vacances, par exemple), débrancher le
cordon d’alimentation CA de la prise murale.
Cet appareil possédant un amplificateur intégré, de la chaleur
sera irradiée par le panneau arrière. Placer l’unité assez loin des
murs, en laissant toujours un espace de 20 cm au moins au-
dessus, au-dessous et des deux côtés de l’unité afin d’éviter les
risques d’incendie et de dommages. Ne pas positionner non plus
cet appareil dos au plancher ou à une autre surface.
Ne couvrez pas le panneau arrière de cet appareil avec un journal, une
nappe, un rideau, etc. afin de ne pas empêcher la dissipation de
chaleur. Si la température à l’intérieur de cet appareil augmente, un
incendie peut se déclarer et endommager cet appareil et/ou causer une
blessure corporelle.
Ne jamais placer les objets suivants sur cette unité :
- Des objets verres, de la vaissille, des petits objets metalliques,
etc.
Des blessures pourraient être causées par des débris de verre,
etc. dûs aux vibrations et aux brisures.
- Une bougie allumée, etc.
Si la bougie tombe sous l’effet des vibrations, elle risque de
provoquer un incendie et des blessures corporelles
.
- Un récipient contenant de l’eau
Si le récipient tombe sous l’effet des vibrations et que de l’eau
éclabousse l’enceinte, ceci risque de l’endommager
sérieusement, et/ou de provoquer des électrocutions.
Ne pas mettre cette unité dans les endroits où des corps
étrangers, comme des jets d’eau par exemple, pourraient tomber
dedans. Ceci pourrait causer un incendie, endommager cette
unité, et/ou des blessures corporelles.
Ne jamais introduire la main ou un corps étranger dans le port YST
situé sur le côté droit de cette unité. Ne jamais attraper l’unité par
l’orifice du port lors des déplacements, car ceci pourrait causer des
blessures corporelles et/ou endommager l’unité.
Ne jamais placer un objet fragile à proximité du port YST de
cette unité. Si cet objet venait à chuter en raison de la pression
de l’air, il pourrait endommager l’unité et/ou causer des
blessures corporelles.
Ne jamais ouvrir le boîtier. Ceci pourrait entraîner des
électrocutions, car cette unité fonctionne sous haute tension.
Ceci pourrait aussi causer des blessures corporelles et/ou
endommager l’unité.
En utilisant un humidificateur, éviter la condensation à l’intérieur
de l’appareil en libérant la place autour de l’appareil ou en évitant
l’humidification extrême. La condensation peut causer un feu,
des dommages à l’appareil et/ou une électrocution.
Les sons de très basse fréquence produits par cet appareil
peuvent provoquer un sifflement sur le tourne-disque. Dans ce
cas, éloigner cet appareil du tourne-disque.
Cet appareil peut être endommagé si certains sons sont
continuellement émis à un niveau sonore élevé. Par exemple, si
des ondes sinusoïdales de 20 Hz-50 Hz d’un disque d’essai, des
sons de graves d’instruments électroniques, etc. sont émis en
continu ou si la pointe de lecture d’une platine tourne-disque
touche la surface d’un disque, réduire le niveau de volume pour
éviter d’endommager cet appareil.
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 pop de forte
intensité, sont susceptibles d’endommager ce système
d’enceintes.
Des vibrations générées par des fréquences supergraves
risquent de déformer les images sur un téléviseur. Dans ce cas,
éloigner cet appareil du téléviseur.
Ne pas essayer de nettoyer cette unité avec des diluants
chimiques, ceci endommagerait le fini. Utiliser un chiffon
propre et sec.
•B
ien lire la section “RESOLUTION DES PROBLEMES”
concernant les erreurs de fonctionnement communes avant de
conclure que l’unité est défecteuse.
Installez cet appareil à proximité de la prise secteur et à un

accessible.
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.
ATTENTION : Tenir compte des précautions ci-dessous
avant de faire fonctionner l’appareil.
Même si cette unité dispose d’une conception à blindage
magnétique, il y a un risque possible de création
d’interférences, visibles sur les images en couleurs si elle est
placée à côté d’un téléviseur. Dans ce cas, éloigner l’unité du
téléviseur.
Cet appareil n’est pas déconnecté du secteur tant qu’il reste
branché á la prise de courant. En pareil cas, celui-ci
consomme une faible quantité d’électricité.
