[. . . ] The subwoofer is for reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system. Placing speakers Main speakers: Rear speakers: On both sides of and at approximately the same height as the TV set. Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. Precisely between the main speakers. Center speaker: Rear center speaker: Precisely between the rear speakers. Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional. Refer to "Placing the subwoofer" below for a recommended positioning of the subwoofer. Main L Center Main R Subwoofer Subwoofer Main R Center Main L TV-set Rear R Rear L Rear center Rear R Rear center Rear L Placing the subwoofer Å i It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside of either the right or the left main speaker. i 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. To prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer system at an angle as shown in fig. Note There may be a case that you cannot obtain enough superbass sounds from the subwoofer when listening in the center of the room. This is because "standing waves" have been developed between two parallel walls and they cancel the bass sounds. In such a case, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. It also may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces by placing bookshelves etc. 60 mm E-5 CONNECTIONS Caution: Plug in the subwoofer and other audio/video components after all connections are completed.

If your amplifier does not have any line output terminal, connect the subwoofer to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier. (Refer to page 9 for details. ) * 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 INPUT2 terminal of the subwoofer. * To connect the subwoofer to the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals on the rear of the DSP amplifier, connect them to both the left L and right R INPUT2 terminals of the subwoofer. Connect the main, center, rear and rear center speakers to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier with the provided speaker cables. * Connect each speaker making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, ­). If the speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. * For the main and rear speakers only, connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked R) terminals. Note When connecting to a monaural line output terminal of the amplifier, connect to the L/MONO INPUT2 terminal. E-7 How to connect speaker cables to the input and output terminals of the speakers For connections, keep the speaker cables as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up the excess part of the cables. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Main/center/rear/rear center speakers One side of the provided speaker cable has a white broken line and the other side has no line. Connect the (+) terminals on both the speaker and the amplifier using the side with a white broken line. Connect the (­) terminals on both components using the side with no line.
