This allows for bass reproduction from much smaller cabinets than was previously possible. Yamaha’s newly developed Advanced YST II adds many refinements to Yamaha Active Servo Technology, allowing better control of the forces driving the amplifier and speaker. From the amplifier’s point of view, the speaker impedance changes depending on the sound frequency. Yamaha developed a new circuit design combining negative-impedance and constant-current drives, which provides a more stable performance and clear bass reproduction without any murkiness.

The power plug is not securely connected. Connect it securely. The POWER switch is set to the OFF position. Set the POWER switch to the ON position. No sound. The volume is set to minimum. Raise the volume up. Speaker cables are not connected securely. Connect them securely. Sound level is too low. Speaker cables are not connected correctly. Connect them correctly, that is L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Setting of the PHASE switch is not proper. Set the PHASE switch to the other position. A source sound with few bass frequencies is played. Play a source sound with bass frequencies. Set the HIGH CUT control to a higher position. It is influenced by standing waves. Reposition the subwoofer or break up the parallel surface by placing bookshelves etc. along the walls. The subwoofer does not turn on automatically. The POWER switch is set to the OFF position. Set the POWER switch to the ON position. The STANDBY/ON button is set to the STANDBY position. Set the STANDBY/ON button to the ON position. The AUTO STANDBY switch is set to the OFF position. Set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the “HIGH” or “LOW” position. The level of input signal is too low. Set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the “HIGH” position. The subwoofer does not turn into the standby mode automatically. There is an influence of noise generated from external appliances etc. Move the subwoofer farther away from such appliances and/or reposition the connected speaker cables. Otherwise, set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the “OFF” position. The AUTO STANDBY switch is set to the OFF position. Set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the “HIGH” or “LOW” position. The subwoofer turns into the standby mode unexpectedly. The level of input signal is too low. Increase the volume of the amplifier and set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the “HIGH” position. The subwoofer turns on unexpectedly. There is an influence of noise generated from external appliances etc. Move the subwoofer farther away from such appliances and/or reposition the connected speaker cables. Otherwise, set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the “OFF” position.
