POWERED SUBWOOFER
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DOLBY SURROUND SYSTEMS: (Excluding Dolby Digital
When the subwoofer is connected to the Left and Right amplifier outputs, the Center channel WIDE/NORMAL switch MUST be set to the NORMAL mode. If the switch is set to the WIDE mode, the bass content of the Center channel will not be fed to the subwoofer, and a significant amount of bass in the program material will not be reproduced.

SATELLITE SPEAKER WIRING OPTIONS
If you use speaker wires to connect the subwoofer, you have two options for the satellite speakers.
1.Connect both the satellite speakers and the subwoofer direct to your amp or receiver, with one set of wires running to the satellites and another set to the subwoofer. See Figure 4.
2.For convenience, you can also connect the satellite speakers to the subwoofer. Both sets of wires will be connected to the same terminals on the subwoofer. Connect both the Amplifier's Left channel Positive (+) terminal and the Left satellite's Positive (+) terminal to the subwoofer Left RED (+) "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminal. Also connect both the Amplifier's Left channel Negative ( — ) terminal and the Left satellite's Negative ( — )terminal to the subwoofer's Left BLACK ( — ) "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminal. Make matching connections for the Right channel.
If your Amplifier has two sets of speaker outputs (e.g., A and B), you can connect the satellites to one set and the subwoofer to the other. But if you get weak or no output when you connect your speaker this way, connect both sets of speaker wires to the same output terminals.
PLUGGING IN THE SUBWOOFER
Once all the speaker wires or preamp interconnect cables are in place, you are ready to plug in the subwoofer. Set the "BASS LEVEL" control to "MIN". Then plug the AC cord in. You should hear a thump from the subwoofer. This is the normal sound of its power supply charging and discharging when it is plugged in and unplugged.
Once your system wiring is complete and the subwoofer is plugged into the wall, leave it plugged in, even when the system is turned off. The normal mode of operation for the subwoofer is to remain plugged in 24 hours a day. Among other things, this means that you don't have to walk over to the subwoofer to turn it on every time you want to use the system.
If you decide to plug the subwoofer into a switched outlet on another component, that outlet must have the following minimum power rating of 300 watts.
Now, play some music through your system to make sure that the Satellite speakers are working properly. If they are, carefully advance the "BASS LEVEL" control. The Subwoofer should begin to play. Set the "BASS LEVEL" control where the Subwoofer sounds in balance with the Satellite speakers. If the system is not working properly, unplug the Subwoofer and check all of your connections. Call your dealer or the factory if you cannot solve any problem.
