Hooking Up With Speaker Wire Only

The simplest implementation of use with DTS or Dolby Digital is to simply hook-up your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006 with speaker wire as described above and set your receiver or processor’s menu to “Large” left and right main speakers and “no” subwoofer. The bass management system will then send the LFE .1 channel into the left and right channels and it will be reproduced by the subwoofers in your BP7002/BP7004SC/BP7006s giving you all the benefits of the discrete LFE signal. The speakers have a special circuit that takes an infinitesimally small signal from the speaker level input and converts it to a low-level signal which then drives the subwoofer power amp.

Using the LFE Input on Your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006s

With Dolby Digital or DTS, you have the option to use the low level LFE input in addition to the speaker wires. To do this, simply use a “Y” connector (available from your dealer) out of the LFE output on your receiver or processor to feed two line level cables, connecting one to the LFE input on your left BP7002/BP7004/ BP7006 and the other to the LFE input on your right speaker. “Tell” your bass management system that you have “large” left and right front speakers and “Yes” subwoofer.

Using Multi-Channel SACD or DVD-Audio with your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006s

Because of the nature of their bass management systems, a multi-channel SACD player or DVD-Audio player (or any other format that requires using 6- channel interconnects) requires the use of an LFE connection between your receiver or processor and your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006. If you are using one of these players, please use the connection method outlined in the “Using the LFE Input” section.

Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven

at loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud and not driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember, most amplifiers put out their full-rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up! If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one.
