Speaker placement

You can enjoy this unit with the following speaker setup to
obtain the best surround sound.

FL

SL

SL

C

30˚

60˚

80˚

y

The speaker layout above shows the standard ITU-R* speaker
setting. ITU-R recommends that the front left and right speakers
be placed at 30° from the central listening position, and that the
surround left and right speakers be placed at between 60° and 80°
from the central listening position.

*

ITU-R: for more information (see page 56).

FR

SR

SR

Surround speakers (SR and SL)

The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 ft) above
the floor.

Subwoofer

The use of a subwoofer, such as the YAMAHA Active
Servo Processing Subwoofer System, is effective not only
for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels,
but also for high fidelity reproduction of the LFE (low­frequency effect) channel included in Dolby Digital and
DTS software. The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical, because low bass sounds are not highly
directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce wall reflections.

1.8 m (6 ft)

Front speakers (FR and FL)

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker
from each side of the video monitor should be the same.

Center speaker (C)

The center speaker is for the center channel sounds
(dialog, vocals, etc.). If for some reason it is not practical
to use a center speaker, you can do without it. Best results,
however, are obtained with the full system. Align the front
face of the center speaker with the front face of your video
monitor. Place the speaker centrally between the front
speakers and as close to the monitor as possible, such as
directly over or under it.

SPEAKER SETUP

R

L

Speaker connections

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),
“+” (colored) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections
are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if
the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the
sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

CAUTION

• If you will use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set this unit’s
speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before using (see
“IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch” on page 10).

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the
power of this unit is off.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do
not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This
could damage this unit and/or speakers.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speakers still creates the interference with the monitor,
place the speakers away from the monitor.

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+”
(colored) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect
the plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

4 Return the tab to secure the wire.

PREPARATION

Colored: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

■ Cable tags

5 pairs of different colored cable tags are provided with
this product. The colors of the cable tags and their
respective speaker cables are as follows:

• Red: Front right speaker cable

• White: Front left speaker cable

• Green: Center speaker cable

• Gray: Surround right speaker cable

• Blue: Surround left speaker cable

10 mm (3/8")

1 Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of

insulation from each of the speaker cables.

2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together

to prevent short circuits.

3 Press and hold the tab to insert the speaker

wire.

To make it easier to distinguish the various speaker cables,
attach the colored tags to the appropriate speaker cables as
shown below.

reception.

Notes

• The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit and
all speaker cords.

• The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an
outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

• A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception
than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an
outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult the nearest
authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor
antennas.

■ Frequency Step (Asia and General

models only)

Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in
different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP (using SET
MENU) according to the frequency spacing in your area
(see page 45).

• North, Central and South America: 100 kHz/10 kHz

• Other areas: 50 kHz/9 kHz

■ Connecting the AM loop antenna

s

Notes

• Do not press FREQ/RDS until one or more RDS mode
indicators light up in the front panel display. You cannot change
the mode if you press the button prior to this. This is because
this unit has not finished receiving all of the RDS data from the
station.

• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.

• This unit cannot utilize the RDS data source if the signal
received is not strong enough. In particular, the RT mode
requires a large amount of data, so it is possible that the RT
mode may not be displayed even if other RDS modes (PS, PTY,
etc.) are displayed.

• RDS data may not be received under poor reception conditions.
In such cases, press TUNER (AUTO/MAN’L) so that the
“AUTO” indicator disappears from the front panel display.
Although this will change the reception mode to manual, RDS
data may be displayed when you change the display to RDS
mode.

• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference
during the reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service
may be cut off suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear in the front
panel display.

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

SOUND FIELD PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

This unit is equipped with a variety of precise digital decoders that allow you to enjoy multichannel playback from
almost any sound source (stereo or multichannel). This unit is also equipped with a YAMAHA digital sound field
processing (DSP) chip containing several sound field programs which you can use to enhance your playback experience.
Most of these sound field programs are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments found in famous
concert halls, music venues, and movie theaters.

y

The YAMAHA CINEMA DSP modes are compatible with all Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources. Set the input mode to
AUTO (see page 35) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal.

Notes

• This unit’s DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in
the actual hall, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right.

• Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself.

For movie/video sources

You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked “MULTI”
can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked “2-CH” can be used with 2-channel
(stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc.

General

This program lends an enthusiastic atmosphere to the sound, giving you
the feeling you are at an actual jazz or rock concert.

This program adds a deep and spatial feeling to video game sounds.

This program is provided for reproducing monaural video sources (such
as old movies). The program produces the optimum reverberation to
create sound depth using only the presernce sound field.

Though the presence sound field is relatively narrow, the surround sound
field employs the sound environment of a large concert hall. This effect
enhances the experience of watching various TV programs such as news,
variety shows, music programs or sports programs.

CINEMA DSP processing. This program creates the extremely wide
sound field of a 70-mm movie theater. It precisely reproduces the source
sound in detail, making both the video and the sound field incredibly real.
This is ideal for any kind of video source encoded with Dolby Surround,
Dolby Digital or DTS (especially large-scale movie productions).

CINEMA DSP processing. This program clearly reproduces dialog and
sound effects in the latest sound form for science fiction films, thus
creating a broad and expansive cinematic space amid silence. You can
enjoy science fiction films in a virtual-space sound field that includes
Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS-encoded software employing the
most advanced techniques.

CINEMA DSP processing. This program is ideal for precisely
reproducing the sound design of the newest 70-mm and multichannel
soundtrack films. The sound field is made to be similar to that of the
newest movie theaters, so the reverberations of the sound field itself are
restrained as much as possible.

CINEMA DSP processing. This program is for reproducing sounds from
70-mm and multichannel soundtrack films, and is characterized by soft
and extensive sound field.

EDITING SOUND FIELD PARAMETERS

What is a sound field Sound field parameter

What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument
are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In
addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections
enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size
and shape of the room in which we are sitting.

y

For details on how to change parameter settings, see page 39.

■ Elements of a sound field

In any environment, in addition to the direct sound coming
straight to our ears from the player’s instrument, there are
two distinct types of sound reflections that combine to
make up the sound field:

Early reflections

Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly (50 ms
– 100 ms after the direct sound), after reflecting from one
surface only – for example, from the ceiling or a wall.
Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound.

Reverberations

These are caused by reflections from more than one
surface – walls, ceiling, the back of the room – so
numerous that they merge together to form a continuous
sonic “afterglow”. They are non-directional, and lessen
the clarity of the direct sound.

Direct sound, early reflections and subsequent
reverberation taken together help us to determine the
subjective size and shape of the room, and it is this
information that the digital sound field processor
reproduces in order to create sound fields.

If you could create the appropriate early reflections and
subsequent reverberations in your listening room, you
would be able to create your own listening environment.
The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a
concert hall, a dance floor, or virtually any size room at
all. This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly
what YAMAHA has done with the digital sound field
processor.

You can adjust the values of certain digital sound field
parameters so the sound fields are recreated accurately in

GLOSSARY

Audio formats

■ Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital surround sound system that gives
you completely independent multi-channel audio. With 3
front channels (left, center, and right), and 2 surround
stereo channels, Dolby Digital provides 5 full-range audio
channels. With an additional channel especially for bass
effects, called LFE (low frequency effect), the system has
a total of 5.1-channels (LFE is counted as 0.1 channel). By
using 2-channel stereo for the surround speakers, more
accurate moving sound effects and surround sound
environment are possible than with Dolby Surround. The
wide dynamic range (from maximum to minimum
volume) reproduced by the 5 full-range channels and the
precise sound orientation generated using digital sound
processing provide listeners with previously unheard of
excitement and realism.
With this unit, any sound environment from monaural up
to a 5.1-channel configuration can be freely selected for
your enjoyment.

■ Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to
decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround software.
This new technology enables a discrete 5-channel
playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center
channel, and 2 surround left and right channels (instead of
only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic
technology). Music and Game modes are also available for
2-channel sources in addition to the Movie mode.

GLOSSARY

■ DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 offers an unprecedented level of audio quality
for multi-channel sound on DVD-Video, and is fully
backward-compatible with all DTS decoders. “96” refers
to a 96 kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48 kHz
sampling rate). “24” refers to 24-bit word length. DTS 96/
24 offers sound quality transparent to the original 96/24
master, and 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality full­motion video for music programs and motion picture
soundtracks on DVD-video.

■ DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround

DTS digital surround was developed to replace the analog
soundtracks of movies with a 6-channel digital sound
track, and is now rapidly gaining popularity in movie
theaters around the world. Digital Theater Systems Inc.
has developed a home theater system so that you can enjoy
the depth of sound and natural spatial representation of
DTS digital surround in your home. This system produces
practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (technically, a
left, right and center channels, 2 surround channels, plus
an LFE 0.1 channel as a subwoofer, for a total of 5.1­channels). The unit incorporates a DTS-ES decoder that
enables 6.1- channel reproduction by adding the surround
back channel to existing 5.1-channel format.

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround uses a 4 channel analog recording system
to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: 2 front
left and right channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog
(monaural), and a surround channel for special sound
effects (monaural). The surround channel reproduces
sound within a narrow frequency range.
Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes
and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as
well. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built into this unit
employs a digital signal processing system that
automatically stabilizes the volume on each channel to
enhance moving sound effects and directionality.

Sound field programs Audio information

■ CINEMA DSP

Since the Dolby Surround and DTS systems were
originally designed for use in movie theaters, their effect
is best felt in a theater having many speakers and designed
for acoustic effects. Since home conditions, such as room
size, wall material, number of speakers, and so on, can
differ so widely, it’s inevitable that there are differences in
the sound heard as well. Based on a wealth of actually
measured data, YAMAHA CINEMA DSP uses
YAMAHA original sound field technology to combine
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS systems to
provide the visual and audio experience of movie theater
in the listening room of your own home.

■ SILENT CINEMA

YAMAHA has developed a natural, realistic sound effect
DSP algorithm for headphones.
Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound
field so that accurate representations of all the sound field
programs can be enjoyed on headphones.

■ Virtual CINEMA DSP

YAMAHA has developed a Virtual CINEMA DSP
algorithm that allows you to enjoy DSP sound field
surround effects even without any surround speakers by
using virtual surround speakers.
It is even possible to enjoy Virtual CINEMA DSP using a
minimal two-speaker system that does not include a center
speaker.

■ ITU-R

ITU-R is the radio communication sector of the ITU
(International Telecommunication Union). ITU-R
recommends a standard speaker placement which is used
in many critical listening rooms, especially for mastering
purposes.

■ LFE 0.1 channel

This channel is for the reproduction of low bass signals.
The frequency range for this channel is 20 Hz to 120 Hz.
This channel is counted as 0.1 because it only enforces a
low frequency range compared to the full-range
reproduced by the other 5/6 channels in Dolby Digital or
DTS 5.1/6.1-channel systems.

■ PCM (Linear PCM)

Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog
audio signal is digitized, recorded and transmitted without
using any compression. This is used as a method of
recording CDs and DVD audio. The PCM system uses a
technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per
very small unit of time. Standing for “pulse code
modulation”, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.

■ Sampling frequency and number of
quantized bits

When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of
times the signal is sampled per second is called the
sampling frequency, while the degree of fineness when
converting the sound level into a numeric value is called
the number of quantized bits.
The range of rates that can be played back is determined
based on the sampling rate, while the dynamic range
representing the sound level difference is determined by
the number of quantized bits. In principle, the higher the
sampling frequency, the wider the range of frequencies
that can be played back, and the higher the number of
quantized bits, the more finely the sound level can be
reproduced.

Video signal information

■ Composite video signal

With the composite video signal system, the video signal
is composed of three basic elements of a video picture;
color, brightness and synchronization data. A composite
video jack on a video component transmits these three
elements combined.

We Want You Listening for a Lifetime

Yamaha and the Electronic Industries Association’s Con­sumer Electronics Group want you to get the most enjoy­ment out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level
— a level that lets the sound come through loud and
clear without annoying blaring or distortion — and, most
importantly, without damaging your sensitive hearing.

Since hearing damage from loud
sounds is often undetectable until it is
too late, Yamaha and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group recommend that
you avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive volume levels.

Precautions

•To assure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future
reference.

• Install the speakers in a cool, dry, clean place – away
from windows, sources of heat, sources of excessive
vibration, dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of
electrical humming (e.g., transformers and motors).
To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose the
speakers to rain or water.

•To prev ent the enclosure from warping or discoloring,
do not expose the speakers to direct sunlight or exces­sive humidity.

•Avoid installing the speakers where foreign objects
may fall onto them and/or where they may be
exposed to liquid dripping or splashing.

• Do not place the following objects on top of the
speakers:

• Other components, as they might damage or dis-

color the surface of the speakers;

• Burning objects (e.g., candles), as they might cause

fire, damage to the speakers or personal injury;

• Containers of liquid, as they might spill and cause

electric shock to the user or damage to the speak­ers.

• Do not place the speakers where they are liable to be
knocked over or struck by falling objects. Stable
placement will also ensure better sound.

• Placing the speakers on the same shelf or rack as the
turntable can result in feedback.

• Secure placement or installation is the owner’s respon­sibility. Yamaha is not liable for accidents caused by
improper placement or installation of speakers.

• If you note distortion, reduce the volume control on
your amplifier. Do not drive your amplifier to the
point of “clipping.” Otherwise, the speakers may be
damaged.

• When using an amplifier with a rated output power
higher than the nominal input power of the speakers,
care should be taken not to exceed the speakers’ max­imum input.

• Do not clean the speakers with chemical solvents as
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

• Do not attempt to modify or fix the speakers. Contact
qualified Yamaha service personnel when service is
needed. Do not open the cabinet under any circum­stances.

• Please read the “Troubleshooting” section regarding
common operating errors before concluding that the
speakers are faulty.

For the SW-P240

• Do not operate this unit upside down. It may over­heat, possibly causing damage.

• Do not use excessive force on switches, controls or
connection wires. When moving this unit, first dis­connect the power plug and the wires connected to
other equipment. Never pull the wires themselves.

• Since this unit has a built-in power amplifier, heat
radiates from the rear panel. Place the unit away from
walls, allowing at least 20 cm of space above, behind
and on both sides of the unit to prevent fire or dam-

age. Furthermore, do not position the unit with the
rear panel facing down on the floor or other surfaces.

• When using a humidifier, be sure to avoid condensa­tion inside this unit by allowing enough space around
the unit and avoiding excess humidification. Conden­sation might cause fire, damage to the unit, or electric
shock.

• Do not cover the rear panel of this unit with a news­paper, tablecloth, curtain, etc. to avoid obstructing
heat radiation. If the temperature inside the unit rises,
it may cause fire, damage to the unit, or personal
injury.

• Do not plug this unit into a wall outlet until all con­nections are complete.

• The voltage to be used must match that specified on
the rear panel. Using this unit with a voltage higher
than specified is dangerous and may cause fire, dam­age to the unit, or personal injury. Yamaha is not
responsible for damage resulting from use of this unit
with a voltage other than specified.

•To prev ent damage from lightning, disconnect the AC
power plug during electric storms.

• Super-bass frequencies reproduced by this unit may
cause a turntable to generate audio feedback. In this
case, move the unit away from the turntable.

• This unit may be damaged if certain sounds are con­tinuously output at high volume level. F or example, if
20Hz–50Hz sine waves from a test disc or bass
sounds from an electronic instrument, etc. are contin­uously output, or if a turntable stylus touches the sur­face of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent the
unit from being damaged.

• If you hear distorted noise (i.e., unnatural, intermit­tent “rapping” or “hammering” sounds) from this
unit, reduce the volume level. Extremely loud movie
soundtrack low frequency, bass-heavy sounds, or sim­ilarly loud popular music passages can damage the
speaker system.

•Vibration generated by super-bass frequencies may
distort images on a TV. In this case, move the unit
away from the TV set.

• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall
outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord.

• When you plan not to use this unit for a long period
of time (i.e., vacation, etc.) disconnect the AC power
plug from the wall outlet.

• Do not place much pressure against the subwoofer
net. It may break the net or the unit may fall, resulting
in injury.

• Do not place anything fragile beside the subwoofer.
The air pressure produced by the subwoofer may
break the objects and cause malfunction or injury.

Setting up the speakers

Before you connect the speakers, place each
speaker in its respective location. Speaker position­ing is very important as it affects the ov erall sound
quality of the system. Place the speakers in loca­tions that will optimize the sound quality at your
listening position. Refer to the illustration below.

The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as
the position of the other speakers because low bass
tones are not highly directional. Refer to “Position­ing the subwoofer (SW -P240)” on page 4 for more
information.

Note:

These speakers are magnetically shielded.
However, if you place them too close to a TV, they
may impair picture color. In this case, move the
speakers further away from the TV.

Surround back speaker (for NS-P246 sys­tems only):

behind your listening position, precisely between
the surround speakers, about 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet)
above the floor.

You can set the front, surround, and surround back
speakers on tables or other supports, or mount
them on a wall or speaker stand. (For more infor­mation, see “Mounting the front and surround
speakers” on page 5.)

Positioning the center speaker
(NX-C120)

Positioning the subwoofer
(SW-P240)

Place the center speaker precisely between the
front speakers, facing directly forward. You can
place the center speaker on top of a TV (if the top
of the TV is flat), on the floor beneath the TV, or in
an entertainment center. Be sure to place the
speaker in a stable location.

When placing the speaker on top of a TV, to pre­vent the speaker from falling, attach the provided
fasteners at two points on the bottom of the speaker
and on top of the TV, as illustrated below.

Fastener

Peel off the
seal.

Although the placement of the subwoofer is not as
critical as that of the other speakers, it is best to
place the subwoofer outside either the right or left
front speaker. (See Figure A.)

The placement shown in Figure B is also accept­able. However, in some cases, if you listen from
the center of the room, the super-bass range from
the subwoofer may sound weak. This is due to
“standing waves” that can develop between paral­lel walls that effectively diminish or cancel the
bass sound. In this event, face the subwoofer
obliquely to the wall. It also may help to break up
the parallel surface by placing bookshelves or
other large objects along the wall.

Cautions:

• Do not place the center speaker on a TV that has a top

surface area smaller than the speaker bottom. Other­wise, the speaker may fall and cause injury.

• Do not place the center speaker on a TV that has a

slanted or inclined top.

• Do not touch the adhesive surface of a fastener after

you peel off the seal, as this will weaken the adhesiv e
strength of the fastener.

• Thoroughly wipe to clean the surface where the fas-

tener is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength will
be weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or wet. Weak­ened adhesive may cause the center speaker to fall.

Mounting the front and surround
speakers

You can place the front and surround speakers (and
surround back speaker in an NS-P246 system) on a
shelf or rack, set them on the floor, or mount them
on a wall or speaker stand.

To mount the speakers on a wall:

Affix screws to a firm wall or wall support as

1.

shown below. (Use tapping screws 3.5 to 4mm
in diameter.)

Wall/ wall

support

To attach to a bracket:

Attach a bracket (part number AAX34790) to

1.

the bottom of the speaker using a screw (part
number AAX12390) such that the convex part
of the bracket fits over the groove in the bottom
of the speaker, as shown below.

2.

Mount the speaker on the speaker stand by affix­ing a pair of screws through the outside bracket
holes.

Note: Make sure that the
screws are securely affixed in
the narrow part of the holes.

Cautions:

• Each front or surround speaker weighs 0.9 kg

(2.0 lbs.). Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood
or on a wall made of soft surface material. Otherwise,
the screws may pull out of the surface and the speak­ers may fall, possibly damaging the speakers or caus­ing personal injury.

• Do not affix the speakers to a wall using nails, adhe-

sives, or unstable hardware. Long term use and vibra­tion may cause the speakers to fall.

•To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose

speaker cables, affix the cables to the wall.

• Mount the speakers in a wall location that will be

unlikely to result in injury to an individual’s head.

Insert only M4 screws
through the outside holes.

Connecting speaker cables

Keep the speaker cables as short as possible. Do
not bundle or roll up excess cable. If the connec­tions are faulty, you will hear no sound from the
speakers.

Before connecting the cables:

Remove a small amount (about 10 mm) of insula­tion coating from the end of each speaker cable.

One side of the included speaker cable is marked
with a broken white line; the other side is unlined.
Connect the (+) terminal on the speaker to the (+)
terminal on the amplifier using the cable side
marked with the broken white line. Connect the (–)
terminals on both components using the unlined
side of the speaker cable.

Connections:

• Connect the front, center and surround speakers (and
surround back speaker for the NS-P246) to the
speaker output terminals on your amplifier using the
included speaker cables.
– The included speaker cables have labels marked

FRONT L, FR ONT R, CENTER, REAR L, REAR
R (and REAR C for NS-P246). Connect each
speaker cable to the corresponding speaker as illus­trated in the figure on page 6.

– 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 front and surround speakers only, connect

one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals on
your amplifier, and the other speaker to the right
(marked R) terminals.

• Connect the subwoofer to the line output (pin jack)
terminal(s) on the amplifier.
–To connect to 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 INPUT terminal on the
subwoofer.

Inserting the cables:

Press and hold the terminal tab, as shown in the

Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology (on the SW-P240)

The theory behind Yamaha Active Servo Technol­ogy is based on two factors: the Helmholtz resona­tor and negative-impedance drive. Active Servo
Processing speakers reproduce the bass frequen­cies through an “air woofer,” which is a port or
opening in the speaker’s cabinet.
This opening is used instead of, and performs the
functions of, a woofer in a conventionally designed
speaker system.

Thus, signals of low amplitude within the cabinet
can, according to Helmholtz resonance theory, be
output from this opening as waves of great ampli­tude if the size of the opening and the volume of
the cabinet are in proportion to satisfy a certain
ratio. In order to accomplish this, moreover, the
amplitudes within the cabinet must be both precise
and of sufficient power because these amplitudes
must overcome the “load” presented by the air in
the cabinet.

This problem is resolved by a design in which the
amplifier supplies special signals. If the electrical
resistance of the voice coil could be reduced to
zero, the movement of the speaker unit would
become linear with respect to signal voltage. To
accomplish this, the system utilizes a special nega­tive-impedance output-drive amplifier that sub­tracts the output impedance of the amplifier.

By employing negative-impedance drive circuits,
the amplifier is able to generate precise, low-ampli­tude, low frequency waves with superior damping
characteristics.
These waves are then radiated from the cabinet
opening as high-amplitude signals. The system
can, therefore, by employing the negative-imped­ance output drive amplifier and a speaker cabinet
featuring a Helmholtz resonator, reproduce an
extremely wide range of frequencies with out­standing sound quality and low distortion.
The features described above combine to create the
fundamental structure of conventional Yamaha
Active Servo Technology.

Our new Active Servo Technology — Advanced
Yamaha Active Servo Technology — adopts
Advanced Negative Impedance Converter (ANIC)
circuits, which allow the conventional negative
impedance converter to dynamically vary to select
an optimum value for speaker impedance variation.
With these new ANIC circuits, Advanced Yamaha
Active Servo Technology provides a more stable
performance and improved sound pressure com­pared to conventional Yamaha Active Servo Tech­nology, resulting in more natural and dynamic bass
reproduction.
