Overview

The YST-SW800 is a subwoofer system designed by Yamaha, offering advanced active servo technology for enhanced bass performance. This service manual provides comprehensive information for authorized Yamaha retailers and service personnel regarding its maintenance, repair, and specifications.

Function Description

The YST-SW800 functions as a dedicated subwoofer, designed to reproduce low-frequency audio signals, complementing a main speaker system. It incorporates Yamaha's Advanced Active Servo Technology, which is a negative-impedance converter system that dynamically compensates for the effects of speaker impedance, ensuring a more linear and powerful bass response. The front panel features controls for STANDBY/ON, HIGH CUT (adjustable from 40-140Hz), and VOLUME (0-10), allowing users to fine-tune the subwoofer's output to match their listening environment and main speakers. The rear panel includes various input and output terminals for connection to an amplifier and other speakers, as well as controls for BASS PHASE (REV/NORM) and AUTO STANDBY (HIGH/LOW/OFF).

Important Technical Specifications

Type: Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology Driver: 25 cm (9-13/16") cone woofer (JA25610), magnetically shielded type. Amplifier Output:

  • U, C models: 1kW
  • A, B, G models: 800W/6Ω Input Impedance:
  • INPUT1 (SP): 4.7kΩ
  • INPUT2 (PJ): 12kΩ Frequency Response: 18 Hz to 160 Hz (-10 dB) Power Supply:
  • U, C models: AC120V, 60 Hz
  • A model: AC240V, 50 Hz
  • B, G models: AC230V, 50 Hz Power Consumption: 250W Dimensions (W x H x D): 390 x 482 x 420 mm (15-3/8" x 19" x 16-9/16") Weight: 24 kg (52 lbs. 14 oz) Finish:
  • All models: Black color
  • G model: Cherry color Accessories: Nonskid pad x 4

The manual also details specific components and their part numbers, including various capacitors, diodes, transistors (FET, TR), integrated circuits (IC), coils, resistors, and mechanical parts. Critical components are marked with a triangle symbol (▲) and must be replaced with parts having equivalent specifications.

Usage Features

The YST-SW800 offers several features for user convenience and sound customization:

  • Front Panel Controls:
    • STANDBY/ON: For powering the unit on or off.
    • HIGH CUT: An adjustable crossover frequency control (40-140Hz) that determines the upper frequency limit the subwoofer will reproduce. This allows for seamless integration with main speakers.
    • VOLUME: Controls the output level of the subwoofer.
  • Rear Panel Controls:
    • BASS PHASE (REV/NORM): Allows users to adjust the phase of the subwoofer's output to ensure it is in sync with the main speakers, preventing phase cancellation and improving bass impact.
    • AUTO STANDBY (HIGH/LOW/OFF): This feature automatically puts the subwoofer into standby mode when no input signal is detected for a period, and wakes it up when a signal is present. The HIGH and LOW settings likely refer to the sensitivity of the auto-standby function.
  • Input/Output: The rear panel provides input terminals for connecting to an amplifier and output terminals for connecting to other speakers, facilitating various system configurations.
  • Magnetically Shielded Driver: Ensures that the subwoofer can be placed near sensitive electronic equipment, such as televisions, without causing interference.

Maintenance Features

The service manual outlines detailed procedures for maintenance and repair, emphasizing safety and precision.

  • Critical Components Information: Components with special characteristics are marked and must be replaced with parts of equal specifications to maintain performance and safety.
  • Leakage Current Measurement (for 120V Models Only): After service, it is imperative to verify that all exposed conductive surfaces are properly insulated from supply circuits. The meter impedance should be equivalent to 1500 ohm shunted by 0.15µF, and leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA. Testing must be done with the AC plug in both polarities.
  • Chemical Content Notice: The manual warns about lead in solder and other chemicals in components, advising against oral contact, prolonged skin contact, and inhaling fumes. Hands should be washed after handling components.
  • Disassembly Procedures: Step-by-step instructions are provided for removing the front panel assembly, loud speaker, and rear panel assembly, including specific screw locations and tools (e.g., 3mm Allen wrench).
  • Repair Procedures:
    • Power Amplifier Repair: Instructions detail how to disconnect the SW power supply section and power amplifier, check for defective parts (FETs, TRs) by measuring resistance and diode characteristics, and verify operation using a stabilized DC power source and oscilloscope.
    • SW Power Supply Section Repair: Emphasizes safety due to high voltage, requiring forced discharge of capacitors (C209, C210) before repair. Procedures for checking defective parts (TRs, resistors) are also provided.
  • Adjustments:
    • Operation Check and Adjustment: Involves connecting an oscilloscope to specific test points (TP201, TP202) on the Power (1) P.C.B. and adjusting VR201 to achieve a balanced waveform (a = b, permissible range: 1.0 ± 0.1). High voltage caution is reiterated.
    • Confirmation of Power Amp Operation: Requires a signal generator, load resistor, and oscilloscope to confirm correct waveform at points A and B on the schematic diagram, ensuring the amplifier performs as specified.
    • Idling Adjustment: Involves adjusting VR1 on the Main (1) P.C.B. to set the DC voltage between terminals TP1 and TP2 to 50mV to 250mV after a warm-up period.
    • Confirmation of AUTO STANDBY Operation: Detailed steps to test the auto-standby function, including connecting a resistor to R162 to shorten the check time, applying a signal, and observing LED behavior.
  • Bond Application Diagram: Illustrates where to apply rapid cures bond (e.g., 5-minute epoxy) for securing the power switch and cord stopper, ensuring secure installation and preventing air leakage.
  • Installation of Emblem: Instructions for correctly installing the Yamaha emblem on the cabinet, emphasizing care to avoid damage.
  • Recycled Paper Usage: The manual explicitly states that it uses recycled paper, aligning with environmental considerations.
