Adjusting The Subwoofer Before Use - Yamaha NS-P620 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the subwoofer before use

Before using the subwoofer, adjust the subwoofer to obtain the optimum volume and tone balance between the subwoofer and
the main speakers by following the procedures described below.
Front panel
1
Set the VOLUME control to minimum (0).
2
Turn on the power of all the other
components.
3
Make sure that the POWER switch is set to
the ON position, then press the STANDBY/
ON button to turn on the subwoofer.
* The Power indicator lights up in green.
4
Play a source containing low-frequency
components and adjust the amplifier's
volume control to the desired listening level.
5
Adjust the HIGH CUT control to the position
where the desired response can be
obtained.
This system is designed so that the optimum tone
balance between the subwoofer and the main speakers
(NS-10MMT) is obtained when this control is set at 110
Hz. However, the tone balance may change depending
on the room size, the distance from the subwoofer to
the main speakers, etc. So, if you prefer, turn the HIGH
CUT control and set it to a position where a better tone
balance is obtained.

Rear panel
6
Increase the volume gradually to adjust the
volume balance between the subwoofer and
the main speakers.
7
Select "MOVIE" or "MUSIC" according to the
played source.
MOVIE: When a movie type source is played, the low-
frequency effects are enhanced to allow the listener
enjoy more powerful sound. (The sound will be thicker
and deeper.)
MUSIC: When an ordinary music source is played, the
excessive low-frequency components are cut off to
make the sound clearer. (The sound will be lighter and
reproduces the melody line more clearly.)
• Once the volume balance between the subwoofer and
the main speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the
volume of your whole sound system by using the
amplifier's volume control.
However, if you change the main speakers NS-10MMT
to others, you must make this adjustment again.
• For adjusting the VOLUME control and the HIGH CUT
control, refer to "Frequency characteristics" on the
next page.
