Introduction
Thank you for choosing the YUMI Powered Speaker System, designed by Kanto in Canada. YUMI
outputs 30 W RMS (60 W peak) per side into 6 Ohm speakers, for remarkably bold and clean
sound. Excellent sensitivity and frequency response specs provide deep thumping lows and
clear, scintillating highs. YUMI is a truly flexible speaker system that can accept five input sources
(including optical and Bluetooth®), drive a sub-woofer, charge USB devices and switch between
115 V and 230 V inputs.
We recommend you read all instructions carefully before using the system, and keep them for
future reference. Ensure that the Voltage Select switch is set to the correct input voltage for
your location. Kanto cannot be liable for damage or injury caused by incorrect setup or use of
this product.
This powered speaker system was carefully tested and inspected during production, and before
packaging and shipping. After unpacking, please check for any damage. It is rare that a unit is
damaged during shipping, but if this happens contact your retailer immediately. You can also
call Kanto directly at 1-888-848-2643 or email [email protected].

Setting Up Your Speakers
The YUMI powered speaker system is designed for either bookshelf or stand mounting. The
stands should be of rigid construction, between 45 cm to 69 cm high and preferably have
spikes. We recommend the Kanto SP130 speaker stands to go with your YUMI.
The space between the two speakers and the distance from the listener is important. If the
speakers are positioned too close or too far apart, stereo imaging will not be fully developed.
YUMI is designed to perform optimally positioned at least 20 cm from the rear wall in an
average listening room. However, it may not be possible to install the speakers in this position
and since rooms vary in shape, size, and furnishing, a certain amount of experimentation is
necessary to determine the most suitable position.
Moving the speakers very close to the rear wall will enhance the bass frequencies but will tend
to reduce soundstage depth, while moving the speakers away from the rear wall will tend
to have the opposite effect. Avoid positioning the speakers close to or in the corners of the
room, as this will excite undesirable room coupling in the low and middle frequencies. If the
width of the rear wall is limited then toe-in the speakers slightly to reduce reflections. Room
characteristics and positioning have a profound effect on the performance of the speakers, so
time and effort devoted to achieving the optimum positions will be rewarded.
Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position.
Connect the two speakers together as shown below using the supplied speaker cable.
Connect the RED (+) and BLACK (−) terminals from the active speaker (left channel) to the
corresponding terminals on the passive speaker (right channel). If you wish to place your
speakers farther apart than the supplied cable will reach, we recommend that you purchase a
heavier gauge of speaker cable to minimize signal loss.
Follow the instructions on the ensuing pages to connect your audio sources to YUMI. The
examples in the following pages are not meant to be exhaustive - just examples.
Connect the power cord from YUMI’s active speaker to the wall outlet.
ATTENTION
When connecting audio cables the ON/OFF Switch must be turned OFF. After connecting all cables, the unit can be
turned ON.
When the volume is high, this system can produce noise levels that could permanently damage your hearing.
YUMI is a self-powered speaker system. Do not connect the speaker terminals to the speaker outputs of a stereo
amplifier. Damage may occur. Use only the power cord provided with the speakers.

Connecting Audio Sources
RCA & 3.5 mm Stereo Mini-Jack (AUX) Connection
YUMI has five inputs, including dual RCA, 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack, two OPTICAL TOSLINK
connections, and Bluetooth.
Use the appropriate audio cable to connect your audio source components to your speakers.
Refer to the following diagrams on connectivity options.
• 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack AUX cable
• Stereo RCA to 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack ‘Y’ cable
• Optical Toslink cable

YUMI features Bluetooth technology, and can be paired with many devices for wireless audio
playback from your phone, MP3 player or tablet. Pairing is easy.
1. Press the Standby Button on YUMI’s remote to wake YUMI, and press the Bluetooth button
on the YUMI remote. The Bluetooth LED will flash slowly to indicate that YUMI is in pairing
mode. (Note that if the Bluetooth LED stays solid, YUMI has likely found a previously paired
device in range.)
2. Enable your Bluetooth device to search for a new device. Select ‘YUMI by Kanto’ from the
list of Bluetooth devices. If prompted for a pairing code enter ‘1234’.
3. If pairing is successful, the Bluetooth LED will remain solid. You will not need to pair the
same Bluetooth device again - ‘YUMI by Kanto’ will remain on your device list.
4. If the device does not pair with YUMI, turn YUMI’s ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position,
then repeat Steps 1 and 2.

Bluetooth Operation
1. If not previously paired, pair your Bluetooth device as described above.
2. If YUMI has been switched OFF or gone to standby mode, if another device has been
connected to YUMI’s Bluetooth input, or if you have disconnected from YUMI’s Bluetooth
input, you will need to reconnect by selecting ‘YUMI by Kanto’ from your device menu.
3. If another device is connected to YUMI’s Bluetooth input, your device will not be able to
connect to YUMI, and you will receive a connection error. Terminate the connection of the
other device first and try to Connect to ‘YUMI by Kanto’ again.
4. When you are successfully connected, the Bluetooth LED will be lit solid, and your device
will show as Connected to ‘YUMI by Kanto’.
5. Once connected, you can control the playback from your Bluetooth enabled device using
the second row of buttons on YUMI’s remote control.
USB Charging Operation
YUMI features one 5V 1 A USB charging port on the back panel. This is a convenient power
connection to charge your devices.
When YUMI is in Operating Mode (Power LED blue), the port is active, and whatever device is
connected can draw up to 1 A of power. When YUMI is in Standby Mode (Power LED amber),
the USB charging port will automatically turn off.
The USB charging port can be enabled even though YUMI is not operating, by simply pressing
the USB Charge button on the YUMI remote. When in USB Charge Mode, the Power LED will
be off, and the Signal LED will flash twice quickly, followed by a delay, and repeat. Pressing the
USB Charge button on the YUMI remote again will put the unit into Operating Mode.

10
Connecting a Subwoofer
YUMI is equipped with an RCA connector to provide output signal to a powered subwoofer.
Simply connect a single RCA subwoofer cable from the SUB OUT connection on YUMI to the
AUDIO INPUT on your subwoofer. If your subwoofer has a stereo L/R RCA input, either left or
right inputs will work.
We recommend the Kanto sub6 or sub8 powered subwoofer with crossover and volume
controls. Most quality subwoofers offer these controls, which allow you to customize the
amount of bass you will experience.
