[. . . ] UB YST-SW005 Subwoofer System OWNER'S MANUAL I IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1 CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN Read these instructions. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. [. . . ] 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. along the walls. Use the nonskid pads Put the provided nonskid pads at the four corners on the bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer from moving by vibrations etc. E-3 CONNECTIONS Caution: Plug in the subwoofer and other components after all connections are completed. All connections must be correct, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, "+" to "+" and "­" to "­". Also refer to the owner's manual for each of your components. Basically, connect the subwoofer to the line output (pin jack) terminal(s) of the amplifier. (Refer to pages 4 and 5 for details. ) If your amplifier does not have any line output terminal, connect the subwoofer to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier. (Refer to pages 6 and 7 for details. ) Connecting to line output (pin jack) terminals of the amplifier Connect the main speakers to the speaker output terminals 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 INPUT2 terminal of the subwoofer. When connecting the subwoofer to the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals on the rear of the DSP amplifier, be sure to connect the L/MONO INPUT2 terminal to the "L" side and the R INPUT2 terminal to the "R" side of the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals.

When connecting to a monaural line output terminal of the amplifier, connect the L/MONO INPUT2 terminal. E-5 Connecting to speaker output terminals of the amplifier Using one subwoofer If your amplifier has only one set of main speaker output terminals Connect the speaker output terminals of the amplifier to the INPUT1 terminals of the subwoofer, and connect the OUTPUT terminals of the subwoofer to the main speakers.

Do not bundle or roll up the excess part of the cables. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the subwoofer or the speakers, or both of them. Make sure that the + and ­ polarity markings of the speaker cables are observed and set correctly. If these cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. How to Connect: Red: positive (+) Black: negative (­) Caution Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the subwoofer or the amplifier, or both of them. 1 Press and hold the terminal's tab, as shown in the figure. 2 Insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal hole. [Remove approx. 10 mm (3/8") insulation from the speaker cable. ] 3 Release your finger from the tab to allow it to lock securely on the cable's wire end. 4 Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cable at the terminal.

The subwoofer does not turn on automatically. The POWER switch is set to the OFF position. The AUTO STANDBY switch is set to the OFF position. The level of input signal is too low. The subwoofer does not turn into the standby mode automatically. There is an influence of noise generated from external appliances etc. The AUTO STANDBY switch is set to the OFF position.
