  • Page 6: Features

    • You can select bass effect suitable for the source by using the B.A.S.S. button. • This subwoofer system is equipped with a linear port unique to Yamaha that provides smooth bass response during playback, minimizing extraneous noise not included in the original input signal.

  • Page 7: Placement

    PLACEMENT The position of the subwoofer is not so critical since low bass sounds are not highly directional. For a sonorous sound field, although you can obtain a good effect with one subwoofer, the use of two subwoofers is recommended. If using one subwoofer, we recommend that you place it on the outside of either the right or the left front speaker.
