• This subwoofer system employs Advanced Yamaha 

Active Servo Technology II which Yamaha has 
developed for reproducing higher quality super-bass 
sound. (Refer to page 11 for details on Advanced 
Yamaha Active Servo Technology II.) This super-bass 
sound adds a more realistic, theater-in-the-home effect 
to your stereo system.

• This subwoofer can be easily added to your existing 

audio system by connecting to either the speaker 
terminals or the line output (pin jack) terminals of the 
amplifier.

• The HIGH CUT switch provides you with two positions 

(HIGH and LOW) to adjust the tone balance between the 
subwoofer and the front speakers.

After unpacking, check that the following parts are 
contained.

Non-skid pads (1 set, 4 pieces)

IMPORTANT:
THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings 
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to 
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.  The wire which is coloured BROWN must be 
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.  Making sure that neither core is
