STA-800D/1000D Equipped Subs
Power and Signal Connection
Before making any power or signal connections, make sure all equipment in the chain is turned off. Plug
the subwoofer into a power outlet that is capable of a peak draw of 1100 watts. Using convenience outlets
located on some AVRs or pre/pros is NOT recommended for your subwoofer as these outlets are not meant
for high current devices.
For a discussion of the audio connections available on your subwoofer, see the section earlier in the manual
entitled “Connectivity and Panel Operation”.
From an audio signal connection perspective, there are two primary ways you can connect the subwoofer
based upon the capabilities of the AVR, pre/pro, or preamp you are using in your listening environment:
1) Bass Management and time alignment performed in the AVR or pre/pro. In this configura-
tion it is assumed that the subwoofer will be passed a signal intended strictly for the subwoofer – in other
words there is no additional higher-frequency information that needs to be accounted for.
Normally, you would use a single RCA (single-ended) or XLR (balanced) cable from your AVR or pre/pro’s
“Sub Pre Out” connector and attach it to either the Left or Right Input on the STA-800D/STA-1000D ampli-
fier. If you have multiple subwoofers you can split the signal at the AVR or pre/pro using a “Y” adapter, or
you can daisy-chain an additional subwoofer through an Output connector on the STA-800D/STA-1000D
amplifier with the HPF disabled if so equipped.
Using the Integrated Function Controller, set the following values as starting points for initial set up (facto-
rydefaults assuming no ports blocked if applicable):
