Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB) Input: Con- nect the subwoofer output of a receiver with digital surround sound decoding, such as Dolby* Digital or DTS®, to this input. This input bypasses the SUB-TS7’s internal crossover circuitry, and should only be used with a filtered signal. If your receiver does not have digital decoding, you should use the Line-Level Full-Range Inputs

instead.

Line-Level Full-Range Inputs: Connect the line-level subwoofer output or preamp out- put(s) of your receiver or amplifier to these inputs. If your receiver does not have a separate subwoofer output, use a Y-adapter (not supplied) to bridge the receiver’s preamp output to the main amp input for that channel, and connect the long end of the adapter to the correspon- ding line-level input on the SUB-TS7. If your receiver has only a single subwoofer output, you may connect it to either the left or right line- level input on the SUB-TS7, and no Y-adapter is needed.

Speaker-Level Outputs: If you are using

the Speaker-Level Inputs on the SUB-TS7, you should connect these binding-post terminals to your front left and right speakers, remember- ing to maintain polarity by connecting the (+) terminal on the SUB-TS7 subwoofer to the (+) terminal on the speaker, and the (–) terminal on the SUB-TS7 subwoofer to the (–) terminal on the speaker. If you are not using the Speaker- Level Inputs , then connect your front left and right speakers directly to your receiver or amplifier. See pages 9 through 12 for further information on speaker connections.

Speaker-Level Inputs: Connect these binding-post terminals to the main left and right speaker terminals of your receiver or amplifier, if your receiver or amplifier does not have a line- level subwoofer output. Remember to maintain polarity by connecting the (+) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the (+) terminal on the SUB-TS7 subwoofer, and the (–) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the (–) terminal on the SUB-TS7 subwoofer.

Master Power Switch: Place this switch in the “•” position to power-on the SUB-TS7 sub- woofer. The SUB-TS7 will then be either in the Standby mode or completely on, depending on the position of the Trigger On/Off Switch .

AC Power Cord: Make sure to plug this cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet for proper operation of the SUB-TS7.

The cord should not be plugged into the accessory outlets found on some audio components.
