(2)SPEAKER LEVEL OUTPUT Terminals

Sends a crossed-over speaker-level signal to the front speakers. See below for a more detailed explanation of this crossover.

(3)IR INPUT

This is a connection to allow you to purchase a third-party infrared remote sensor on an extended cable for placement closer to your other remote controlled equipment. This keeps you from awkward control angles using the infrared remote control.

(4)LINE OUTPUT

Connect these jacks to the LINE IN preamp input to use the DEQ-R’s internal high pass crossover. The signal fed from these connectors is rolled off below 120 Hz.

LINE INPUT/LFE

Connect these jacks to the LINE OUT preamp output, LFE output, or subwoofer output jacks of your receiver/processor. If using the LFE output from your receiver or processor, plug the single cable into the “L” – LFE input or, for more signal, use a “Y” connector (not included) and feed the signal into both “R” and “L” inputs.

(5)AUTO ON/OFF Switch

Use this switch to select between “stand-by” mode (woofer shuts off after eight minutes) and “always on” operation.

(6)VOLUME Control

This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main speakers in your system. This control should be set to achieve similar volume level from between both the main speakers and subwoofer. When pressing volume up or down, set the level while watching the LED display for reference.

Note: Volume is also controllable by using the supplied remote. When defaults are restored, the default is 30 out of 80.

(7)LOW-PASS CROSSOVER

Use this knob to select the frequency above which you wish to cut off the signal to the subwoofer. When the knob is turned all the way to the left, the Subwoofer Direct feature is invoked and the subwoofer plays all frequencies up to 120 Hz.
