Introduction

The SWK-W10 is a wireless receiver for subwoofer signals from transmitting-side Yamaha products. Connect it to your subwoofer with an internal amplifier using a subwoofer cable to enjoy bass sounds. Power and volume are controlled with the transmitting-side operations via Yamaha "yAired" technology for simple operation.

Using SWK-W10
  1. Keep the SWK-W10 and your subwoofer unplugged from AC outlets.
  2. Set the group ID of the SWK-W10 to match the transmitting-side Yamaha product. Use the two group ID switches for this.
  3. Install the SWK-W10 on or near your subwoofer.
  4. Connect the cables: AUDIO OUTPUT (SUBWOOFER) of SWK-W10 to subwoofer input, subwoofer power cable to SWK-W10's AC OUTLET, and SWK-W10 power cable to AC wall outlet. Note: Do not plug in subwoofers consuming more than 100 W to the SWK-W10's AC OUTLET.
  5. Turn on the subwoofer.
  6. Set the subwoofer's volume to about half and the crossover frequency to maximum.
  7. Turn on the transmitting-side product. The LED turns green when a wireless connection is established.
