(Refer to page 14 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 subwoofer permits your existing amplifier and speakers to operate under less strenuous conditions, improving overall system performance. This unit can be added easily 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 must be matched to the sounds on your main speakers. Therefore, this unit employs the continuously variable high frequency cut-off point (HIGH-CUT) control. Moreover, the PHASE switch allows you to select better sound quality according to the listening condition. As a utility function for using two subwoofers, this unit has two types of signal code for remote control. By selecting a different code for each subwoofer, you can operate two subwoofers individually with one remote control transmitter. PLACEMENT A B If using one subwoofer system, it is recommended to place it on the outside of either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. A .) If using two systems, it is recommended to place them on the outside of each main speaker. (See fig. B .) The placement shown in fig. 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 will collide. To prevent this, face the subwoofer system obliquely to the wall as shown in fig. A or B. 4 C One subwoofer system will have a good effect on your audio system, however, the use of two subwoofer systems is recommended to obtain more presence. Note There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough superbass sounds from this unit when listening at the middle of the room. This is because the “standing waves” occur between two parallel walls and the bass sounds are canceled. In such a case, face the unit obliquely to the wall. It also may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces by placing bookshelves etc. along the walls.  CONNECTIONS • 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 (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. • This unit can be connected to either the speaker terminals or the line output (pin jack) terminals of the amplifier. Choose one of the ways shown below according to your audio system. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each component to be connected to this unit.

L Connecting to this unit’s OUTPUT/INPUT terminals For connections, use speaker wires of the proper gauge, cut 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 unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could damage this unit, your amplifier and/or speakers. How to Connect: Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–) 2 1 3 6 ➀ Unscrew the knob. ➁ Insert the bare wire. [Remove approx. 5mm (1/4”) insulation from the speaker wires.] ➂ Tighten the knob and secure the wire. * Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.  CONNECTING TO LINE OUTPUT (PIN JACK) TERMINALS OF THE AMPLIFIER • Leave the main speakers connected to the amplifier. • Line output terminals may be labeled PRE OUT, REC 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 PRE OUT terminals, connection can result in no sound from the main left and right speakers. In this case, select an alternative method of connection.

Turn on the power supply to all the components. Play the source and adjust the amplifier’s volume control to the desired listening level. Turn up the VOLUME control gradually to adjust the volume balance between this unit and the main speakers. Adjust the HIGH CUT control to the position where the desired response can be obtained. Set the PHASE switch to the position (NOM or REV) where the desired bass effect can be obtained. Notes • Once the volume balance between this unit and the main speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the volume of your whole sound system by using only the amplifier’s volume control. * However, if this unit is connected to line output terminals (except PRE OUT or SUBWOOFER OUT terminals) of the amplifier, you must adjust the volume controls of this unit and the amplifier individually. • For adjusting the VOLUME control, the HIGH CUT control and the PHASE switch, refer to “FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS” on the next page. For effective adjustment of the HIGH CUT control First set this control at about the main speakers’ rated minimum reproduceable frequency. Then turn up the VOLUME control gradually and set it at a level where you can obtain a little more bass effect than when this unit is not used. On the basis of this setting, if desired, adjust the VOLUME control and the HIGH CUT control again. * The main speakers’ minimum reproduceable frequency can be looked up in the speakers’ catalog or owner’s manual.  FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS Adjustment of the VOLUME control, the HIGH CUT control and the PHASE switch should be changed according to the main speakers, listening condition, the source, etc. The following figures show the optimum adjusting level of each control and the frequency characteristics on the condition that this unit is combined with a typical speaker system.

This shows that the data has been stored in PRESET 1. In the same way, store other sets of data in PRESET 2 and 3. Notes • A new setting can be stored in place of the former one. • While the VOLUME control or the HIGH CUT control is rotating from a PRESET key having been pressed, pressing another PRESET key is ineffective. 12 Memory back-up The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from being lost even if the POWER switch is set off or the power plug is disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary power failure. If, however, the power is lost for more than two weeks, the memory may be erased. If so, it can be re-stored by simply following the steps described above.  NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER Battery installation Remote control transmitter operation range Remote control senser Within approximately 7mm (23 feet) Battery replacement If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones. Notes ● Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement. ● Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.) ● Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time. ● If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries. 30° 30° Notes ● There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter and the main unit. ● If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. TROUBLESHOOTING If the unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple measures suggested. If it cannot be corrected, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help. SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY Power is not supplied even though the POWER switch is ON. The power plug is not securely connected. Connect it securely. No sound . The VOLUME control is set to 0. Turn the VOLUME control to right. The OUTPUT switch is OFF. Press the OUTPUT switch so that the OUTPUT indicator on the front panel illuminates. Speaker cables are not connected securely. Connect them securely. Speaker cables are connected incorrectly. Connect them correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Setting of the PHASE switch is not proper. Set the switch to the other position. A source sound with few bass frequencies is played. Play a source sound with bass frequencies. Set the HIGH-CUT control to a higher position. (Turn the knob to right.) It is influenced by the standing waves. Break up the parallel surface by placing bookshelves etc. along the walls. The remote control transmitter does not work. Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of flourescent lamp etc.) is striking the remote control sensor of the main unit. Change position of the main unit. The distance or range within which the remote control transmitter can be used decreases. The batteries of this remote control transmitter are too weak. Replace the batteries with new ones. Sound level is too low. 13  SPECIFICATIONS Speaker Unit .......................25 cm (10”) cone woofer (JA2540) magnetic-shield type Amplifier Output ...............120W/5 ohms (THD 0.1%, 100 Hz) High-Cut Filter...............................40 Hz–140 Hz (–24 dB/oct.)

Accessories ....................................Remote control transmitter Batteries Speaker cords ACTIVE SERVO TECHNOLOGY The theory of Active Servo Technology is based upon two major factors, the Helmholtz resonator and negativeimpedance 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 output from this opening as waves of great amplitude if the design is such that 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. Highamplitude bass sound Cabinet Thus it is this problem that is resolved through the employment of a design in which the amplifier functions to supply 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, and, 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, and 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 Active Servo Technology.
