Analog Receiver/Processor – Line-Level Connections

Use this installation method with an analog receiver/ processor that does not have digital processing or bass management, and that is equipped with a full-range subwoofer output or a volume- controlled preamp (line-) level output:

Use RCA-type interconnect cables to connect the line- level subwoofer outputs on your receiver or amplifier to the line-level inputs on the subwoofer.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the LFE toggle switch on the subwoofer is in the “Normal” position. Do not use the “LFE” position with Dolby* Pro Logic*-only processors.

Note: If your receiver or amplifier has only one sub- woofer output jack, then you

may connect the subwoofer

 

 

 

 

output on your receiver/pre-

 

 

 

 

amplifier to either the left or

 

 

 

 

right line-level input on the

 

 

 

 

subwoofer. It makes no differ-

Digital Receiver/Processor – LFE Connection

Use this installation method for Dolby Digital, DTS® or other digital surround processors that have bass-management programming, or for analog receivers/processors that have a filtered subwoofer output:

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the LFE toggle switch on the subwoofer is in the “LFE” position. Use the line-level input jacks for the Low- Frequency Effects channel. Connect these jacks to the LFE output or subwoofer output on your receiver or amplifier.

Note: If your receiver or ampli- fier has only one subwoofer output jack, you may connect the subwoofer output on your receiver/preamplifier to either

the left or right line-level input on the subwoofer. It makes no difference which jack you choose.

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

Make sure that you have configured your surround sound processor for “Subwoofer On” or “LFE On.” The front, center and surround Digital Receiver/Processor – LFE Connection speakers should be Manual background

set to “Small” or “Large” depending on their size and frequency response. Consult your receiver’s or processor’s owner’s manual.
