Setting up and Connecting your Subwoofer
Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position before connecting any component.
To some degree, positioning the subwoofer is less critical because it produces only non-
directional low-frequency sounds. However, best results are obtained if the subwoofer is placed
either between the left and right speakers or in the vicinity of either the left channel or right
channel speaker.
As with all speakers, moving the sub6 very close to room boundaries will enhance the bass
frequencies but will tend to muddy the sound. Room characteristics and positioning have a
profound effect on the performance of the subwoofer, so time and effort devoted to achieving
the optimum operating position will be rewarded.
In a typical full range application using one subwoofer like the sub6 thru a single wire
connection, you can connect to either the Left or Right Line Level Input. Connect your stereo
component such as powered speakers with subwoofer output (e.g. YU2, YU4, YU6), power or
integrated amplifiers with preamplifier output, or multi-channel home theater receivers with
subwoofer output. If your components are equipped with both L/R subwoofer outputs or L/R
preamplifier outputs, we recommend connecting the component to the sub6 by using both
Left and Right Line Level Input channels.
The Low-Pass Filter Control is used to set the upper limit of the frequencies that sub6 will
reproduce, typically within the range of 40Hz-120Hz. Refer to your manufacturer’s information
for the cut-off frequency of your main speakers.
The Phase Switch is normally set to 0°. If the sub6 is positioned significantly farther from the
main speakers or if the subwoofer is used in a stereo setup where the amplifier driving the main
speakers inverts the phase signal, the 180° setting may be desirable. Listen with the switch in
both positions and select the setting that gives the fullest sound. If in doubt, or if there is little
difference, leave the switch set to 0°.
Follow the instructions on the following page to connect your components to sub6. The
examples are not meant to be exhaustive - just examples.
ATTENTION
When connecting audio cables the ON/OFF Switch must be turned OFF. After connecting all cables, the unit can be
turned ON.

Audio Troubleshooting Guide
Frequently asked questions about Kanto’s sub6 subwoofer.
• Ensure audio source is playing audio.
• Check that the audio cable connected
to the source is firmly connected. Test
another audio cable if available.
• Verify that the volume of the subwoofer
is not at it’s minimum level.
2. The green light on the rear of the
subwoofer is illuminated but there’s
no audio playing.
• Ensure the power cable is connected to
the subwoofer and power outlet.
• Ensure that the power outlet is providing
power.
• Verify that the power switch on the rear
of the subwoofer is in the “On” position.
• Check the fuse on the rear panel of the
subwoofer to ensure it’s intact.
1. None of the lights on the rear of the
subwoofer are illuminated.
• Set the source of the volume to a
higher level and reduce the volume of
the subwoofer. Low source volume can
negatively affect dynamic range.
• Test a different song or source to isolate
the issue.
• Adjust crossover to match the rest of
the system.
3. You are experiencing poor audio
quality.
• Ensure you are using an RCA to RCA
subwoofer cable
• Verify if the noise is coming from the
source by removing the source from the
subwoofer.
• Make sure it is not a power issue by
trying a power outlet that is on a
different circuit.
• Check that the audio cable connected
to and from the source is firmly seated.
Try a different cable or source to isolate
the issue.
6. You are experiencing buzzing,
hissing or distortion.
5. There’s no audio coming from an
attached subwoofer.
• Check that the RCA cable connected to
and from the subwoofer is firmly seated.
Try a different cable or source to isolate
the issue.
• Make sure the subwoofer is connected
to a power outlet and is set to “On” or
“Auto”.
• Increase the volume of the subwoofer.
4. Speakers are going into standby
while listening to audio.
• Set the volume of the source to its
highest level. Low source volume can
inadvertently trigger standby mode.
