English
The speaker is constructed with the majority of the weight located
in its upper portion, and is thus susceptible to falling over if proper
care is not taken to insure its stability. If the speaker falls over, it
may damage the speaker or be the cause of injury (or even death)
to person and/or damage to personal property.
For safe and proper use of the speaker:
• Position the speaker in a location that is solid, level, smooth,
and low (with respect to the floor).
• Do not push or apply pressure to the side of the speaker when
moving, or lean objects against the side of the speaker.
• Do not sit on or set objects on top of the speaker.
Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and other
phenomena or activities may cause the speaker to fall over. For
safety reasons, using commercially available products that
increase stability of the speaker is recommended (metal fittings or
chains, etc.).
■Using as 2ch stereo speakers
Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are
slightly angled in towards the listeners.
■Using as front speakers in a multi channel
system
Position the speakers on both sides of the TV. The positioning of
speakers is important, since this dictates the overall sound quality
of the multi channel system. Set up the speakers on the basis of
your listening position by following the owner’s manual supplied
with your amplifier.
Notes
• Placing this unit too close to a CRT TV set might impair
picture color or create a buzzing noise. Should this happen,
move the speaker away (more than 20 cm (7-7/8”)) from the
TV set.
When using a PDP or LCD TV, it would not happen.
• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose
speaker cables, fix them to the floor.

Since the low-end frequencies of audio signals feature long wavelengths, they are almost non-directional to human ears.
The super-bass range does not create a stereo image. Therefore, a single subwoofer may be enough to produce a high-
quality super-bass sound.
• Placing the subwoofer too close to a CRT-type TV may impair the picture color or cause a buzzing noise. In this case,
place the subwoofer and TV at a separated position where these effects do not occur. This is not an issue with LCD and
plasma TVs.
• If the speaker volume is very loud, furniture or window glass may resonate and the subwoofer itself may vibrate. In this
case, lower the volume level. To limit resonance, use a thick curtain or similar cloth that tends to absorb sound vibrations
effectively. Also, changing the subwoofer position may be helpful.

ADJUSTING THE SUBWOOFER BEFORE USE

English
In 1988, Yamaha brought to the marketplace speaker systems utilizing YST (Yamaha Active Servo Technology) to give
powerful, high quality bass reproduction. This technique uses a direct connection between the amplifier and speaker,
allowing accurate signal transmission and precise speaker control.
As this technology uses speaker units controlled by
the negative impedance drive of the amplifier and
resonance generated between the speaker cabinet
volume and port, it creates more resonant energy
(the “air woofer” concept) than the standard bass
reflex method. This allows for bass reproduction
from much smaller cabinets than was previously
possible.
Yamaha’s newly developed Advanced YST II adds
many refinements to Yamaha Active Servo
Technology, allowing better control of the forces
driving the amplifier and speaker. From the
amplifier’s point of view, the speaker impedance
changes depending on the sound frequency. Yamaha
developed a new circuit design combining negative-
impedance and constant-current drives, which
provides a more stable performance and clear bass
reproduction, without any murkiness.
Today’s bass reflex speakers use a Helmholtz resonator to improve their
bass reproduction.
However when reproducing bass that is in the frequency region of this
Helmholtz resonator, air moves violently in and out through the port
between the interior and exterior of the speaker, sometimes producing
noise due to the turbulent air flow at the end of the port.
The port and the cabinet resonate at a frequency that is determined by their
dimensions and shape. On the other hand, turbulence in the air flow at the
end of the port contains a broad range of frequency components that are not
present in the input signal. This noise occurs because the broad range of
frequency components includes components that match the resonant
frequencies of the port and cabinet, causing strong resonance.
The Twisted Flare Port developed by Yamaha changes the
way in which the port widens toward its end, and also adds
a “twist” to suppress airflow turbulence at each end of the
port and thus prevent noise from occurring.
This eliminates the “muddy sound” and “wind noise” that
until now have been characteristic of bass reflex speakers,
allowing bass to be reproduced clearly.

• Ne forcez pas sur les prises, les commandes ou les câbles
de connexion. Lorsque vous déplacez cet appareil,
veillez tout d’abord à débrancher la prise et les câbles
connectés à un autre équipement. Ne déplacez jamais cet
appareil par les câbles.
• Si vous n’utilisez pas cet appareil pendant une période
prolongée (par exemple lorsque vous partez en
vacances), débranchez le câble d’alimentation de la prise
secteur.
• En cas d’orage, débranchez le câble d’alimentation de la
prise secteur afin de ne pas endommager l’appareil.
• Cet appareil est muni d’un amplificateur de puissance
intégré. Il est donc possible que de la chaleur émane du
panneau arrière. N’installez pas l’appareil trop près d’un
mur ; laissez au moins 20 cm au dessus, derrière et sur
les côtés afin d’éviter tout risque d’incendie. Veillez en
outre à ne pas placer le panneau arrière face au sol ou à
une autre surface.
• Ne couvrez pas le panneau arrière de cet appareil avec un
journal, une nappe, un rideau, etc., afin d’éviter
l’accumulation de chaleur à l’intérieur de l’appareil.
L’augmentation de la température interne peut
provoquer un incendie ou endommager l’appareil.
• Ne placez pas les objets suivants sur l’appareil :
- Verres, porcelaine, petits objets métalliques, etc.
Si ces objets tombent sous l’effet des vibrations et se
brisent, vous risquez de vous blesser ou de blesser
votre entourage.
- Une bougie allumée, etc.
Si la bougie tombe sous l’effet des vibrations, cela
risque de provoquer un incendie et des blessures.
- Un récipient contenant de l’eau.
Si le récipient tombe sous l’effet des vibrations et que
l’eau se répand, ceci risque d’endommager l’enceinte
et/ou de provoquer une électrocution.
• Évitez de placer cet appareil à proximité de substances
dangereuses. Vous risquez de provoquer un incendie ou
de vous blesser.
• N’introduisez jamais votre main ou un objet dans le port
YST situé sur le côté droit de l’appareil. Lorsque vous

peuvent provoquer un sifflement sur la platine. Le cas
échéant, éloignez l’appareil de la platine.
• Vous risquez d’endommager l’appareil si certains sons
sont continuellement émis à un niveau sonore élevé. Par
exemple, si vous reproduisez continuellement les ondes
sinusoïdales d’un disque comprises entre 20 Hz et 50 Hz
ou les graves d’instruments électroniques, ou si
l’aiguille d’une platine touche la surface d’un disque,
réduisez le niveau de volume afin de ne pas endommager
l’appareil.
• Si vous remarquez une distorsion du son (notamment
lorsque le son manque de naturel, ou si des petits coups
secs intermittents ou un « martèlement » se produisent),
diminuez le volume. La reproduction des basses
fréquences ou des graves de forte intensité de la musique
pop à un volume excessif est susceptible d’endommager
ce système d’enceintes.
• Les vibrations générées par les très basses fréquences
risquent de déformer les images sur un téléviseur. Le cas
échéant, éloignez l’appareil du téléviseur.
• Ne nettoyez pas l’appareil au moyen de solvants
chimiques, car vous risquez d’endommager la finition.
Utilisez un chiffon propre et sec.
