connect one end of a network cable to either a network port or

 

 

 

your network or broadband device. Connect the other end of the

LFE (Low Frequency Effects) Audio channel found in digital

 

 

 

surround sound audio schemes that carries only low frequency

 

 

 

information of 80 Hz and below. The LFE channel drives a

 

 

 

subwoofer to provide extremely low bass extension. Systems not

 

 

 

using subwoofers can shunt the LFE information to the main

 

 

 

speakers in the surround sound set-up.
