Adjusting The Subwoofer Before Use - Yamaha YST-SW1500 Bedienungsanleitung

ADJUSTING THE SUBWOOFER BEFORE USE

Before using the subwoofer, adjust the subwoofer to obtain the optimum volume and tone balance between the subwoofer and
the main speakers by following the procedures described below.

1
Set the volume level on the amplifier to
minimum, and turn on the amplifier and
other components.
2
Turn the VOLUME control to set the control
to minimum (0).
3
Make sure that the POWER switch on the
rear panel is set to the ON position, then
press the STANDBY/ON button to turn on
the subwoofer.
* The power indicator lights up in green.
4
Play a source containing low-frequency
components and adjust the amplifier's
volume control to the desired listening level.
5
Turn the HIGH CUT control (or press the
HIGH CUT UP/DOWN buttons on the
remote control) to set the control to the
position where the desired response can be
obtained.
Normally, set the control to the main speaker's rated
minimum reproducible frequency*.
* The main speaker's rated minimum reproducible
frequency can be looked up in the speakers' catalog
or owner's manual.
6
Increase the volume gradually to adjust the
volume balance between the subwoofer and
the main speakers.
Normally, set the control to the level where you can
obtain a little more bass effect than when the subwoofer
is not used. If the desired response cannot be obtained,
adjust the HIGH CUT control and the VOLUME control
again.

Press the PHASE button to select the
regular or reverse mode which gives you the
better bass sound.
Normally, select the reverse mode (so that the PHASE
indicator on the front panel lights up in green). If the
desired response cannot be obtained, select the regular
mode (so that the PHASE indicator lights up in red).
Select "MOVIE" or "MUSIC" according to the
played source.
MOVIE (when the MUSIC/MOVIE indicator on the front
panel lights up in green):
When a movie type source is played, the low-frequency
effects are enhanced to allow the listener enjoy more
powerful sound. (The sound will be thicker and deeper.)
MUSIC (when the MUSIC/MOVIE indicator on the front
panel lights up in red):
When an ordinary music source is played, the excessive
low-frequency components are cut off to make the
sound clearer. (The sound will be lighter and repro-
duces the melody line more clearly.)
Once the volume balance between the
subwoofer and the main speakers is adjusted,
you can adjust the volume of your whole
sound system by using the amplifier's volume
control.
However, if you change the main speakers to
others, you must make this adjustment again.
For adjusting the VOLUME control, the HIGH
CUT control and the PHASE button, refer to
"Frequency characteristics" on page 17.
