10 EnEnglishIf you use the included system control cable to connect a subwoofer to a Yamahacomponent (that features a system connector jack such as a YSP series component orYamaha receiver), turning on or off the power to the connected component automaticallyturns the subwoofer on or off.Connection exampleHow the System Connection worksNotes• For this feature to be available, the POWER switch on the rear panel and the STANDBY/ONswitch on the top panel ( page 3) must be set to ON.• Powering on/off via the system connection takes priority over the Automatic power-switchingfunction. (While the unit is turned on, the Automatic power-switching function is enabled.)• To modify the settings of the connected components, please refer to the owner’s manual thatcame with the respective component.After all connections are completed, plugthe subwoofer and other audio/videocomponents into AC outlets.This function automatically places the subwoofer in standby mode if the subwoofer doesnot detect a signal from the amplifier for a certain period of time. The subwooferautomatically turns on as soon as it detects a signal from the amplifier.The Automatic power-switching function works as follows when the AUTO STANDBY(HIGH/LOW/OFF) switch is set to LOW or HIGH. (Normally, set the switch to LOW.)How the Automatic power-switching function works*1 When the Automatic power-switching function is enabled, the subwoofer will detect a bass signal input ofbelow 200Hz (such as sound effects of explosion in action movies, bass guitar or bass drum sound, etc.).*2 This value may vary depending on the system environment. For example, it may be affected by noisegenerated from other equipment.NoteFor this feature to be available, the POWER switch on the rear panel and the STANDBY/ONswitch on the top panel ( page 3) must be set to ON.NoteBe sure to set the POWER switch to OFF before you set the AUTO STANDBY switch.LOW: The Automatic power-switching function activates at a certain level of input signal.To enable the function, select this position.HIGH:If the Automatic power-switching function does not work well when the AUTOSTANDBY switch is set to LOW, select this position. If the function still does notwork, slightly raise the LFE LEVEL on the amplifier.OFF: The Automatic power-switchingy function may unexpectedly activate due to thesystem environment, for example, if the subwoofer detects noise generated from theperipheral components. In this case, select this position to disable the Automatic power-switching function, and manually turn the unit on or off by using the POWER switch.Notes• The subwoofer uses a small amount of power in auto-standby mode.• If you plan not to use the subwoofer for a long period of time, set the POWER switch on therear panel to OFF, or unplug the power cable from the AC outlet.System connectionsTurning on the power to the connected component will automatically turn on the subwoofer.* The indicator lights green.Turning off the power to the connected component will automatically turn off the subwoofer.* The indicator turns off.Plugging the subwoofer into an AC outletSubwooferSupplied systemcontrol cableYamaha YSP series component or receiverTo AC outletAUTOMATIC POWER-SWITCHING FUNCTIONThe subwoofer automatically enters standby mode if it does not receive an input signal(*1) from the amplifier for 7 or 8 minutes (*2).* The indicator color changes from green to red.When the subwoofer detects an input signal (*1) from the amplifier, the subwooferautomatically turns on. * The indicator color changes from red to green.Setting the AUTO STANDBY switch
