Look at the back panel of the Subwoofer. You will see two RCA input jacks labelled "FROM PREAMP," and two sets of speaker wire input terminals labelled "FROM AMPLIFIER" and "TO SPEAKERS." You must choose to use either the speaker wire inputs or the RCA jack inputs.

STANDARD AMPLIFIER/SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS

The most common way to hook up the Subwoofer is to connect it to your receiver or amplifier using speaker wires. You make the same kind of connections that you would use for your Satellite (or main) speakers, except that both the left and right channels go to the Subwoofer. (If you are using two Subwoofers, connect one channel only to each Subwoofer).

1.Run speaker wire between the Amplifier's Left channel output terminals and the Subwoofer's Left channel "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminals.

a.Connect the Amplifier's Left channel Positive (+) terminal and the Subwoofer's Left RED (+) "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminal.

b.Connect the Amplifier's Left channel Negative ( — ) terminal and the Subwoofer's Left BLACK ( — ) "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminal.

2.Make matching connections for the Right channel. See Figure 1.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SURROUND SOUND SYSTEMS:

When the Subwoofer is connected to the Left and Right amplifier outputs, and the controller is in Pro-Logic mode, the Center channel WIDE/NORMAL switch MUST be set to the NORMAL mode. If the switch is set to the WIDE mode, the bass content of the Center channel will not be fed to the Subwoofer, and you will lose a significant amount of bass.
