Subwoofer Connections
NOTE: Power is always supplied to the subwoofer electronics unless it is unplugged or switched to the o position using the
power switch located on the rear panel. The auto-on circuitry only activates or deactivates the power amplifier. Make sure
your subwoofer and receiver are unplugged when making the connection.
Power: When plugging your subwoofer in be sure to use a wall outlet, or dedicated electrical outlet. Some receivers will
provide a switched outlet. Do not use this. These on board electrical outlets do not offer the amount of current or proper
isolation required by a power amplifier, such as the one in your subwoofer.
Select ”subwoofer-yes” from your receiver’s set-up menu. If the receiver gives a choice of crossover filter frequency, use 150Hz
or 120Hz. Hooked up this way, the receiver’s amplifier is relieved of having to reproduce the difficult low bass signals that can
drive the receiver into audible distortion. In some cases, it can also depend on several other settings within a receiver. We
recommend consulting your receiver manual for further assistance in this area.
Turn off all power. Use a subwoofer cable, as shown, to connect your digital receiver’s LFE subwoofer output to the subwoofer.
Connect the other end to the Line In.
Adjusting the Crossover Control
Set the crossover control on the subwoofer to 180Hz. Fine-tune the crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend with
your main speakers. The best setting of the crossover control will depend on speaker placement and personal preference.
Operation

Plug the subwoofer’s AC cord into a wall outlet. Do not use the outlets on the back of the receiver. Set the power switch to
the desired setting.
