Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA Subwoofer System. CAUTION: Read this before operating your unit. Please read the following operating precautions before use. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage and/or injury caused by not following the cautions below. ●...
● This subwoofer system employs Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology which YAMAHA has developed for reproducing higher quality super-bass sound. (Refer to page 9 for details on Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology.) This super-bass sound adds a more realistic, theater-in-the-home effect to your stereo system.
PLACEMENT Å : subwoofer, It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside of either the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. Å .) The placement shown in fig. ı 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 out each other.
Connect the subwoofer to the line output (pin jack) terminal(s) of the amplifier. ● To connect with a YAMAHA DSP amplifier (or AV receiver), connect the SUBWOOFER (or LOW PASS etc.) terminal on the rear of the DSP amplifier (or AV receiver) to the L/MONO INPUT terminal of the subwoofer.
By pressing the button again so that it pops out at the MOVIE position, the bass sound in video software is well reproduced. MOVIE MUSIC SUBWOOFER SYSTEM YST-SW015 STANDBY/ON B.A.S.S. HIGH CUT 50–150Hz VOLUME 0–10...

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.
