Connect the SUB analogue output socket from the G61 Digital Surround Controller to the subwoofer’s line-level input using a phono lead.

Use RZ and LZ if you have two subwoofers.

The digital surround controller provides a very high-quality crossover for the subwoofer, and for best results you should use this instead of the subwoofer’s crossover. To do this remove any crossover in the subwoofer or set it to its highest setting (eg 200Hz). The subwoofer crossover can be set from the front panel of the G61; see Subwoofer crossover frequency, page 30.
