Connecting the Subwoofer to a Receiver or Preamp/Processor With Line Outputs

Use this installation method for receivers and preamp/processors that do not have a dedicated subwoofer output, but do have preamp-level (volume-controlled) line outputs. If the receiver or preamp/processor has a dedicated subwoofer output with low-pass filtering, see Connecting the Subwoofer to a Receiver or Preamp/Processor With a Dedicated Subwoofer Output, on page 8.

If you’re connecting to a receiver with left and right line outputs that are not connected to amplifier inputs, connect the LFE (purple) connector of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to one of those outputs and to either of the HKTS200SUB’s Line-Level L/R In Connectors 6. Use a second RCA cable (not supplied) to connect the other receiver or preamp line output to the other of the HKTS200SUB’s Line-Level L/R In Connectors 6.

If you’re connecting to a receiver or preamp/processor with left and right line outputs that are connected to amplifier front left and right inputs, connect the single ends of Y-adapters (not supplied) to the receiver’s or processor’s left and right line outputs.

Connect one of the Y-adapter’s double ends to the HKTS200SUB’s Line-Level L/R In Connectors 6, and connect the other double end to your amplifier’s front left and right inputs.

Connect each satellite speaker and the center speaker to the corresponding speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier.

In your receiver or preamp/processor’s setup menu, configure it for Subwoofer ON, and set the front left, front right, center, and surround speakers to Small.

After you have made and verified all connections, plug the HKTS200SUB’s AC Power Cord

8into an active AC outlet.
