Here is a scaled size comparison of these two speakers to give you an idea how their external dimensions compare: If using the optical input, set the source's output to stereo — not surround, Dolby, DTS, or 5.1 — and set the sample rate to 96Khz or lower. The YU4 has power-saving features with its efficient Signal Detection that will automatically place the unit on standby or to power up when in use. Use the knob at the front of the remote control that comes with the speakers. The remote lets you control volume, tone, inputs, and balance when you connect your devices via Bluetooth. Value for Money – 4.8 out of 5 Many factors will help you say that a desktop speaker is easy to use. First, it should be easy to assemble or install on your PC or audio equipment. Next, it has to provide easy access to cords and cables. Also, the speaker should be easy to adjust with controls at the front or with remote control. Lastly, the speakers should be easy to prop up, install on a bookshelf or wall. We recommend you read all instructions carefully before using the system and keep them for future reference. Kanto cannot be liable for damage or injury caused by incorrect setup or use of this product.When connecting audio cables the ON/OFF Switch must be turned OFF. After connecting all cables, the unit can be turned ON. Verify that the volume of the speaker is not at its minimum level. Turn the volume up using the knob on the front or the volume controls on the remote.

Ensure that the balance setting on the speakers is centered by using the balance reset button on the remote.

We recommend the Kanto sub6 or sub8 powered subwoofer with crossover and volume controls. Most quality subwoofers offer these controls, which allow you to customize the amount of bass you will experience.

Note that APU is always turned on when power is applied, but will only work after automatic power down. APU will not work if unit is manually switched to standby using the remote or control knob. YU4 features a high quality DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for the optical inputs that supports data streams up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution.When using AUX with a PC, reduce the volume of the speakers and increase the PC volume. Also try connecting the speaker ground terminal to the PC chassis ground if noise persists. Speaker Stands: Stands bring your bookshelf speakers to ideal height (rule of thumb is to have the tweeter level with your ear in your listening position), helps stability and acoustical isolation. If you do not find the Auto Power-up (APU) feature useful, you can disable it by pressing the Balance Reset button on the remote and holding it for 5 seconds. The Status LED will blink once to indicate that you have disabled the APU feature. To enable the APU if you have disabled it, simply press and hold the Balance Reset button again for 5 seconds. The Status LED will blink twice to indicate that you have enabled the APU. Press the Bluetooth button ( ) on YU4's remote to select it as the input source. The Bluetooth LED (blue) will flash to indicate that YU4 is in pairing mode. You can stream audio from your device to the speaker using either the player control buttons of your device or the control buttons of the remote control (see diagram of Remote Control of this manual – buttons #20, #21, and #22).

Acoustic Panels and Treatments: Your room is as important as your stereo equipment so acoustic treatments goes a long way in improving the overall performance. The Kanto YU4 excels in design, form, and function. There are also some disadvantages of this product which will be discussed later.One of the natural alternative to the Kanto YU4 is the YU6 which is located one step higher in Kanto's Powered Bookshelf selection. The YU4 offers 140 watts of peak power using its built-in Class D amps. Those who have tried the Kanto YU agree that it sounds better than other desktop or bookshelf speakers. The audio sounds rich and loud, making the room look and feel spacious. The connection between speaker and device remains active even if input source has changed. For instance, you can switch to another input source (e.g. RCA) and return to Bluetooth operation without losing signal connection and, therefore, do not need to pair with the device again.
