Connecting the subwoofer to your system

The SFX5.1 system subwoofer may be connected in

any one of the following ways:

Line levels

•Using the subwoofer output on your A/V receiver or decoder connect a single RCA interconnect to either the left or right line input on the subwoofer rear panel. This is the ideal connection type as the sub woofer output contains the low frequency information from all channels.

•If no subwoofer or spare line outputs exist you may connect using a Y-split connector on the main pre amplifier output connections. Use a Y-split on both right and left outputs and connect these via an RCA interconnect to the left and right inputs on the subwoofer rear panel.

•Alternatively, if your preamplifier has a spare set of line level outputs, connect left and right to the SFX subwoofer L and R inputs using screened cable.

High levels

•Use your amplifier's speaker out terminals.

To accommodate the connection of two sets of cables, red (+) goes to red (+), and black (-) to black (-), twist wires together and connect to the amplifier terminals.

•Alternatively use the 'A & B' speaker outputs on the amplifier if provided - A to your main speakers and B to the SFX subwoofer. Do this using a length of speaker cable for each channel, wire your amplifier outputs to the HIGH LEVEL input terminals, on the subwoofer amplifier panel. Ensure there are no stray wire strands that could possibly short together and damage both the amplifier and subwoofer.

Warnings

•Double-check all connections before switching on the SFX system and your amplifier.

•Ensure that the polarity of the speaker cables from your amplifier to the subwoofer is correct - failure to observe this will result in damage to your amplifier.

•When using the HIGH LEVEL inputs, ensure

that your amplifier is not configured in bridge mode; damage could result to either the amplifier or the subwoofer. If in doubt consult your dealer.
