POWERED SUBWOOFER

2.You can also connect your satellite speakers to the subwoofer. If you choose to do this, connect the amplifier to the "From Amplifier" terminals on the back of the subwoofer and connect the satellite speakers to the "To Speakers" terminals on the back of the subwoofer. For each channel, make sure that the Positive

(+)terminal on the amplifier is connected to the Positive (+) "From Amplifier" terminal (and the Negative (-) terminals are connected), and that the Positive (+) "To Speakers" terminal is connected to the Positive

(+)terminal on the speaker (the Negative (-) terminals should also be connected.

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". Attach the power cord to the receptacle on the subwoofer’s back panel. Then plug the cord into the AC outlet.

Slide the power switch to either the “AUTO” or “ON” position. If your hear a “thump” from the subwoofer, this is the normal sound of its power supply charging.

“AUTO” SWITCH POSITION

In the “AUTO” switch position, the subwoofer is in an idle condition when your system is turned off and no signal is being fed to the subwoofer. When the subwoofer receives a signal from your receiver or processor, it automatically switches on.

“ON” SWITCH POSITION

In the “ON” switch position, the subwoofer is fully active, whether or not your other components are turned on.

Do not plug the subwoofer into a switched outlet on another component.

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
