Connections
Please consider the following when setting up your new system:
•Before making or changing any connections, ALWAYS make sure that the subwoofer is unplugged from the wall and your other components are turned OFF. Also, turn down the volume control of the subwoofer and your

Subwoofer
•This diagram shows all the low power components sharing a power strip which is connected to the same outlet used by the amplifier.
•The subwoofer is connected to an outlet on the
same circuit breaker, provided that the total system current draw does not exceed the breaker current rating.
•This arrangement will reduce the possibility of an audible hum in your system caused by a ground loop.
•Whenever possible, keep the power cords away from the signal cable or speaker wires to prevent any hum or inference being heard in speakers.
•Choose reliable, high quality interconnect cables, also called patch cords or RCA cables. They should be fully shielded and as short as possible for the job. The longest cable in your system will likely be to the subwoofer, so choose a good quality brand.
•Some patch cords can be a very tight fit and there is usually a preferred method of getting them off. Some have to be re=moved with a twisting action. Be gentle or you may damage the jacks of the subwoofer or your other components.
Speaker Level Connections
•The subwoofer's Speaker Level Inputs can accept speaker stripped speaker wires only.
•Make sure that the negative speaker wires never touch the positive wires as this will short out and possibly damage your amplifier or receiver.
