Caution: Always make certain that the controller and the subwoofer are turned off before connecting or disconnecting anything.

Connecting the Controller to the Subwoofer

Connect the special multi-pin cable (included) to the output marked "System Audio Output" on the controller and to the input marked

"System Audio Input" on the subwoofer. This sends the bass/Low Frequency Effects signal to the subwoofer's own 100 Watt amplifier and sends the three front and two rear channels to the five 35 Watt amplifiers

conveniently built into the subwoofer to power your DSC satellite speakers.

Connecting the Subwoofer to the Satellites

Your DSC system includes cables for connection of all five satellite speakers to the subwoofer. Connect the special error-proof connectors at the subwoofer end of each cable to the appropriately marked sockets on the rear of the subwoofer. Owners of the DSC400 system should follow the instructions in the section marked "DSC400 Only" for cable connection to the DSC400 satellites. Owners of the DSC800 system should follow the instructions in the section marked "DSC800 Only" for cable connection to the DSC800 satellites. To place the speakers in your room, see the recommendation on pages 11 and 30.

(DSC400 Only)

Connect the special error-proof connectors at the loudspeaker end of each cable to the correct loud- speaker. Make certain to connect the right front output on the subwoofer to the right front speaker, center output to center speaker, etc.

(DSC800 Only)

Remove 1/2 cm of insulation from the loudspeaker end of each cable. Connect the "+" conductor (marked with a stripe) to the red "+" terminal

of the appropriate loudspeaker and the "-" conductor to the black "-" terminal of the loudspeaker. Make certain to connect the right front output on the subwoofer to the right front speaker, center output to center speaker, etc. It is important to connect all speakers correctly, with plus wire to plus terminal and minus wire to minus terminal. Incorrect "out of phase" wiring will result in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.
