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, theaterin-the-home effect to your stereo system.
• 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. You can create the best sound quality for various listening conditions by using the HIGH CUT control.
• The Automatic Standby function saves you the trouble of pressing the STANDBY/ON button to turn the power on and off.
PLACEMENT
Å ı Ç
( : 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 presence.
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. To prevent this, face the subwoofer system obliquely to the wall as in fig. Å or ı .
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 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 the subwoofer unit to prevent the subwoofer unit moving due to vibrations etc.

To cancel this function, set the switch to the OFF position.
* Change the setting of this switch only when the power of this unit is on standby (by setting the STANDBY/ON button to OFF).
Automatic Standby function
When you play a source, the power of this unit turns on automatically by sensing audio signals input to this unit. This unit turns into the standby mode automatically if the source being played is stopped or the low frequency input signal is cut off for several minutes.
This function will operate 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. In the HIGH position, the power will turn on even with a low level of input signal, but on the other hand this unit may not turn into the standby mode when there is an input signal even if its level is extremely low.
* There may be a case that the power turns on unexpectedly by sensing noise from other appliances. If it occurs, set the
AUTO STANDBY switch to the OFF or LOW position.
* The level of low frequency input signal differs with each source, and each different part on the same source. So, this function may not operate properly depending on some sources.
This function is available only when the power of this unit is on (by setting the STANDBY/ON button Ÿ to ON).

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 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 outputdrive 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 lowfrequency 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 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 maximum sound pressure compared with the conventional Yamaha Active Servo
Technology, resulting in more natural and energetic bass reproduction.
