This subwoofer system employs YAMAHA Active Servo
Technology which YAMAHA developed for reproducing
higher quality super-bass sound. (Refer to page 12 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 of your main
speakers. Therefore, this unit employs a continuously
variable high frequency cut-off point (HIGH CUT) control.
A newly employed AUTO POWER ON/OFF switch saves
you the trouble of pressing the POWER switch when turning
the power on and off.
If using one subwoofer, it is recommended to place it on the
outside of either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig.
.) If using two subwoofers, it is recommended to place them
on the outside of each main 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. To prevent this, face the
subwoofer system obliquely to the wall as shown in fig. or
.
One subwoofer will have a good effect on your audio system,
however, the use of two subwoofers is recommended to obtain
more presence.
Note
There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough super-
bass sounds from this unit when listening at the middle of the
room. This is because “standing waves” have developed
between two parallel walls and the bass sounds are being
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.
Use the rubber pads
Put the provided rubber pads at the four corners on the bottom
of this unit to prevent this unit moving due to vibrations etc.

If your amplifier has two 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 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 (–)
1 Unscrew the knob.
2 Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5mm
(1/4”) insulation from
the speaker wires.]

ACTIVE SERVO 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 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.
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.
REMOVING THE FRONT GRILLE
The front grille is fastened to the enclosure at four points,
and can be removed if desired. To remove the grille, first
hold the bottom of the grille and unfasten the lower part of
the grille by pulling it gently, and then hold both sides of the
grille and slowly pull straight away from the speaker. To
reattach, line up the four pegs on the inside surface of the
grille with the four corresponding holes on the speaker and
push gently.
Note
When the grille is removed, take care not to touch the
speaker unit with your hands or to exert excessive force
with tools.

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, do not expose the unit to rain or water. 3. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer. 4. 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 wire itself. 5. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. 6. Be sure to read the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section regarding common operating errors before concluding that the unit is faulty. 7. When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet. 8. To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power plug when there is an electrical storm. 9. Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat will radiate from the rear panel. Therefore, place the unit apart from the walls, allowing a space of at least 20 cm (7-7/8”) above, behind and on the both sides of the unit. Also, do not position with the rear panel facing down on the floor or other surface. 10. 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. 11. As this speaker contains strong magnet, avoid placing watches, magnetic tapes, etc. near this unit. Also, placing the speaker near a TV set may impair picture color. If this happens, move the TV set away from the speaker. 12. If you hear distortion (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. 13. This unit has a port called “air woofer” which is for reproducing a super-bass sound. Be careful not to put a hand or some objects into the port, otherwise it may give you an electric shock or give this unit a damage, or cause a fire. 4 IMPORTANT Please record the serial number of this unit in the space below. Serial No.: The serial number is located on the rear of the unit. Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. CAUTION (FOR CANADA MODEL) TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT AND FULLY INSERT. FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMER THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPARATUS MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE CANADIAN INTERFERENCE-CAUSING EQUIPMENT REGULATIONS. The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself is turned off. • This subwoofer system employs YAMAHA Active Servo Technology which YAMAHA developed for reproducing higher quality super-bass sound. (Refer to page 12 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 of your main speakers. Therefore, this unit employs a continuously variable high frequency cut-off point (HIGH CUT) control. A newly employed AUTO POWER ON/OFF switch saves you the trouble of pressing the POWER switch when turning the power on and off. English FEATURES PLACEMENT A B ( : subwoofer, C : main speaker) If using one subwoofer, it is recommended to place it on the outside of either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. A .) If using two subwoofers, 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 may cancel. To prevent this, face the subwoofer system obliquely to the wall as shown in fig. A or B . One subwoofer will have a good effect on your audio system, however, the use of two subwoofers is recommended to obtain more presence. Use the rubber pads Put the provided rubber pads at the four corners on the bottom of this unit to prevent this unit moving due to vibrations etc. 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 “standing waves” have developed between two parallel walls and the bass sounds are being 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. 5 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 which is suitable for your audio system. Also, refer to the owner’s manual for each component to be connected to this unit.

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. 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. • For adjusting the VOLUME control and the HIGH CUT control, refer to “FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS” on the right hand. 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. English FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS Adjustment of the VOLUME control and the HIGH CUT control should be changed according to the main speakers, listening condition, source, etc. Following figures show the optimum adjustment of each control and the frequency characteristics when this unit is combined with a typical speaker system.

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. 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 highamplitude 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. Highamplitude bass sound Air woofer (Helmholtz resonator) Cabinet Port Active Servo Processing Amplifier Signals of low amplitude Signals Negative-impedance output drive REMOVING THE FRONT GRILLE The front grille is fastened to the enclosure at four points, and can be removed if desired. To remove the grille, first hold the bottom of the grille and unfasten the lower part of the grille by pulling it gently, and then hold both sides of the grille and slowly pull straight away from the speaker. To reattach, line up the four pegs on the inside surface of the grille with the four corresponding holes on the speaker and push gently. 12 Note When the grille is removed, take care not to touch the speaker unit with your hands or to exert excessive force with tools.
