CONNECTING YOUR SUBWOOFER

CAUTION: All power should be turned off to your system before any connections are made. Careful at- tention should be taken to ensure that all electronic components are not connected to an AC source. Not doing so could result in potential damage to the system.

METHOD 1

RCA – SUB IN FOR HOME THEATER OR LFE APPLICATIONS

1.On the rear of the receiver/pre-amp there should be a single RCA type jack marked “Subwoofer/Pre-Amp Out”. Connect a single RCA cable from that jack to the ➏ LINE IN on the rear of the subwoofer. A standard male to male RCA cable is needed.

2.After connecting the single ➏ LINE IN connection, plug your subwoofer into an AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear of your receiver. After plugging in the unit, switch the Main Power to On.

3.See Final System Adjustments, below.

METHOD 2

RCA – LINE IN FOR STEREO APPLICATIONS

1.On the rear of the receiver/pre-amp there should be stereo (left and Right) RCA type jacks marked “Left and Right Pre-Amp Outputs”. Connect a pair of RCA cables from those jacks to the ➏ LINE IN on the rear of the subwoofer. A standard male to male RCA cable is needed.

2.After connecting the stereo ➏ LINE IN connection, plug your subwoofer into an AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear of your receiver. After plugging in the unit, switch the Main Power to On.

3.See Final System Adjustments, below.

METHOD 3

SPEAKER LEVEL – FOR MUSIC APPLICATIONS

1.The other way to connect your subwoofer to your receiver is using a speaker wire connection, by simply connecting the speaker wires from the Front Left and Right Speaker Outputs on your receiver to the Left and Right ➐ HI LEVEL IN on rear of the subwoofer. It is imperative that speaker polarities be maintained, one must connect the positive and negative wires to the appropriate positive and negative terminals.

Failure to do so will result in an out of phase connection, severely limiting the amount of bass in your system.

2.After connecting the ➐ HI LEVEL IN (speaker wire) between your receiver and subwoofer, ensure no fray wires are touching, as this could cause a short circuit and damage your electronics. Plug your subwoofer into an AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear of your receiver.

3.See Final System Adjustments, below.
