Introduction Thank you for choosing YU Powered Speakers, designed by Kanto in Canada. YU outputs 140W peak power into 4 Ohm speakers, for remarkably bold and clean sound. Excellent sensitivity and frequency response provide deep thumping lows and clear, scintillating highs. YU is an amazingly flexible speaker system that can accept two input sources and connect to a subwoofer for enhanced low frequency response. Additionally, it is equipped with the high quality aptX™ Bluetooth® codec.

Remote Control Install two supplied AAA batteries in the back of your YU remote. Remote Control functions are listed below.
Setting Up Your Speakers The YU powered speaker system is designed for either bookshelf or stand mounting. The stands should be of rigid construction. We recommend the Kanto SP26PL and SP32PL floor stands, or Kanto S4 and SP9 desktop stands to go with your YU. The space between the two speakers and the distance from the listener is important. If the speakers are positioned too close or too far apart, stereo imaging will not be fully developed.
Connecting Audio Sources YU supports Bluetooth® 4.2 with Qualcomm® aptX™ technology. Use the appropriate audio cable to connect your audio source components to the RCA connectors on the back of the active speaker. Connecting a Subwoofer YU is equipped with an RCA connector to provide output signal to a powered subwoofer. Simply connect a single RCA cable from the SUB OUT connection on the YU to the audio input on your subwoofer. If your subwoofer has a stereo L/R RCA input, either input will work.
Auto Power-up (APU) / Auto Power-down (APD) The YU is designed to save power when not in use. When no audio signal has been detected for 15 minutes, the YU Amp will put itself into stand-by mode (APD). If the audio signal returns via the same input that the YU was playing when it entered standby, the YU will wake up and resume playing (APU).
Bluetooth® Pairing YU features Bluetooth® 4.2 with Qualcomm® aptX™ technology. YU can be paired with many devices for wireless audio playback from your phone, MP3 player or tablet. Pairing is easy. 1. Press the Bluetooth® button ( ) on YU’s remote to select it as the input source. The Bluetooth LED (blue) will flash to indicate that YU is in pairing mode. 2. Enable your Bluetooth® device to search for a new device to pair with.
