When using a subwoofer with built-in amplifier, including
the YAMAHA Active Servo Processing Subwoofer
System, connect the input jack of the subwoofer system
to this jack. Low bass signals distributed from the main,
center and/or rear channels are directed to this jack in
accordance with your SPEAKER SET selections. The
unit also directs the LFE (low-frequency effect) signals
generated when Dolby Digital or DTS is decoded to this
jack based on your SPEAKER SET selections.
Notes
• The cut-off frequency of the SUBWOOFER jack is 90 Hz.
• If you do not use a subwoofer, allocate the signals to the main
left and right speakers by changing the settings of SOUND 1
SPEAKER SET item "1E BASS" on the set menu.
• Use the control on the subwoofer to adjust its volume level.
You can also adjust the volume level by using this unit's
remote control (see "SETTING THE SPEAKER LEVELS" on
page 50).
