These differences can be a different color wire (copper or "silver"); a strand of yarn in one conductor; thin, raised ribs on one part of the outer insulation; or a printed "+" marking on one of the insulators. It doesn't matter which of the two strands of wire go to (+) and (–) on your receiver/T.V./ source amplifier and PSW sub- woofer, just be sure to connect both left and right hookup wires identically. Push down on the button below the terminal and insert the wire through the hole. For each channel, connect the red terminal on the receiver/T.V./ source amplifier to the red or (+) loudspeaker connection terminal on the PSW subwoofer, and

the black to the black or (–). Connecting the PSW subwoofer this way ensures that both channels will be in phase; that is, working together, not in opposition.

CAUTION: Never attach inputs to both line level and speaker level inputs of the same channel at the same time.

OUTPUTS

Your subwoofer has a speaker output terminal block to enable the signal to be sent to your main speakers or satellites. Your PSW subwoofer can use the signal from your receiver/T.V./source amplifier to produce the low bass while passing the unaltered signal source to the external speakers.

"Speaker Level Output (to external speakers)" – Hook up the external speakers using two- conductor insulated wire following

the same procedure described under Speaker Level Input. Connect the red (+) terminal of the PSW subwoofer to the red (+) terminal of the external speaker, and the black (–) to black. Connecting the external speakers this way ensures that they will be in phase; that is, working together, not in opposition. Connecting the speakers out of phase won't damage them, but will result in less bass and poor imaging.

(See Fig. 3)

NOTE: Connecting your satellite speakers through your PSW subwoofer won't change their impedance.

LEVEL

NOTE: When first setting up your PSW subwoofer, set the Volume control counter- clockwise to "Min" (minimum) before plugging in the power cord.

Use the "Volume" knob to add the appropriate amount of bass to your main speaker output.

Increase the subwoofer level by turning volume knob clockwise until you find a setting that is pleasing to you.
