1. High Level Input

If your amplification system does not have a dedicated subwoofer line output, your subwoofer must be connected via the high level terminals on the rear panel. Connection should be made from the speaker terminals on your amplification system to the High Level Input Connections.

Note: To prevent damage to the amplifier, only connect using line level inputs OR high level inputs.

DO NOT USE BOTH METHODS OF CONNECTION AT THE SAME TIME

2. Power Auto/On

Switches the subwoofer (amplifier) power on or off. If switched to auto, the subwoofer will remain in standby mode until a signal is detected at the input. The unit will then automatically switch itself on. It will then automatically return to standby mode if no input signal is present for approximately five minutes. With the switch in the 'ON' position the unit remains permanently on. The LED positioned on the rear panel indicates whether the unit is on or in standby mode (red for standby and green when on).
