Introduction
Thank you for choosing the YURI powered subwoofer. YURI was designed to augment the bass
performance of your speakers in a stereo setup or in a home theater installation.
Adding a subwoofer to your system extends the bass response produced by your existing
speakers and improves their midrange clarity. In a home theater application, the subwoofer takes
care of reproducing signals from the low frequency channel. In a stereo system, the subwoofer
helps reduce the low-frequency demands on the main speakers.
We recommend you read all instructions carefully before using the YURI and keep them for future
reference. Kanto cannot be liable for damage or injury caused by incorrect setup or use of this
product.
This powered subwoofer 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

Setting up and Connecting your Subwoofer
Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position before connecting any component.
In a typical application using YURI alongside additional speakers, connect your stereo
component such as powered speakers (e.g. YUMI, YU2, YU3, YU5), amplifiers (e.g. YARO2),
or home theater receiver to the subwoofer input on the Rear Panel. If your components are
equipped with both L/R subwoofer output or L/R preamplifier outputs, you can use either
channel as the output to YURI.
The Crossover Control is used to set the upper limit of the frequencies that YURI will reproduce
within the range of 40Hz-180Hz. Refer to your manufacturer’s information for the lower cut-off
frequency of your main speakers, or adjust the Low-Pass Filter frequency to your personal
preference.
The Phase Switch is normally set to 0°. If YURI is positioned significantly farther from the
main speakers or if it is used in a stereo setup where the amplifier driving the main speakers
inverts the phase of the signal, the 180° setting may be desirable. Listen with the switch in
both positions and select the setting that gives the fullest sound. If in doubt, or if there is little
difference, leave the switch set to 0°.
To some degree, positioning the subwoofer is less critical because it produces only non-
directional low-frequency sounds. However, moving the YURI close to room boundaries will
enhance the bass frequencies but may muddy the sound. Best results are obtained if the
subwoofer is placed either between the left and right speakers or in the vicinity of either the
left channel or right channel speaker. Room characteristics and positioning do have an effect
on the performance of the subwoofer, so time and effort devoted to achieving the optimum
position will be rewarded.
Follow the instructions below to connect your YURI Subwoofer.
ATTENTION
When connecting audio cables the ON/OFF Switch must be turned OFF. After connecting all cables, the unit can be
turned ON.

Audio Troubleshooting Guide
Kanto’s YURI subwoofer was carefully tested and inspected during production and it is rare
that a unit is damaged during shipping. If any issues occur during the set up of your YURI
subwoofer, your questions may be answered in the Troubleshooting guide below.
• Make sure the power cable is connected to
the subwoofer and power outlet.
• Ensure that the power outlet is providing
power.
• Verify that the power switch (8) on the rear
of the subwoofer is in the “On” position
and Standby Power switch (6) is in the
“On” position.
• You can switch it back to “Auto”after
verifying normal operation.
• Set the volume of the source to its
highest level and reduce the volume of
the subwoofer. Low source volume can
negatively affect dynamic range.
• Test a different song or source to isolate
the issue.
• Adjust crossover to match the rest of
the system.
• Ensure the audio source is playing audio.
• Check that the audio cable connected to
and from the source is firmly connected.
Test another audio cable if available.
• Verify that the volume of the subwoofer is
not at its minimum level.
• Ensure you are using an RCA to RCA
subwoofer cable.
• Verify if the noise is coming from the
source by removing all sources from the
subwoofer.
• Make sure it is not a power issue by
trying a power outlet that is on a
different circuit.
• Check that the audio cable connected
to and from the source is firmly seated.
Try a different cable or source to isolate
the issue.
