CONNECTIONS

Choose one of the following two connecting methods that is more suitable for your audio system.

Choose [1] (pages 6-7) if your amplifier has line output (pin jack) terminal(s)

Choose [2] (pages 8-9) if your amplifier has no line output (pin jack) terminal

Caution

Unplug the subwoofer and other audio/video components before making connections.

Notes

All connections must be correct, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Also, refer to the owner’s manual of your component to be connected to the subwoofer.

After all connections are completed, plug in the subwoofer and other audio/video components.

[1]Connecting to line output (pin jack) terminals of the amplifier

To connect with a Yamaha DSP amplifier (or AV receiver), connect the SUBWOOFER (or LOW PASS etc.) terminal on the rear of the DSP amplifier (or AV receiver) to the L /MONO INPUT2 terminal of the subwoofer.

When connecting the subwoofer to the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals on the rear of the DSP amplifier, be sure to connect the L /MONO INPUT2 terminal to the “L” side and the R INPUT2 terminal to the “R” side of the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals.

Notes

Some amplifiers have line output terminals labeled PRE OUT. When you connect the subwoofer to the PRE OUT terminals of the amplifier, make sure that the amplifier has at least two sets of PRE OUT terminals. If the amplifier has only one set of PRE OUT terminals, do not connect the subwoofer to the PRE OUT terminals. Instead, connect the subwoofer to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier (refer to pages 8-9).

When connecting to a monaural line output terminal of the amplifier, connect the L /MONO INPUT2 terminal.

When connecting to line output terminals of the amplifier, other speakers should not be connected to the OUTPUT terminals on the rear panel of the subwoofer. If connected, they will not produce sound.
