RECEIVER SUBWOOFER
Use the line-level input jack marked “LFE” for the Low-Frequency Effects channel. Connect this jack to the LFE output
or subwoofer output on your receiver or amplifier. Connect each speaker to the corresponding speaker terminals on
your receiver or amplifier.
Make sure that you have configured your surround-sound processor for “Subwoofer On.” Also, configure your receiver
for 5.1-, 6.1- or 7.1-channel operation as appropriate. The front left, front right, center and back speakers should
all be set to “Small.” If your receiver allows you to set the crossover frequency between the subwoofer and the main
speakers, select 100Hz or the setting that is the closest frequency below it.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC ® (NON-DIGITAL) – LINE LEVEL
Use this installation method for Dolby Pro Logic ® applications (not Dolby Digital, DTS or other digital processing),
where the receiver/processor is equipped with a subwoofer output or a volume-controlled preamp (line-) level output:

Use RCA-type cables to connect the line-level subwoofer outputs on your receiver or amplifier to the line-level inputs
on the subwoofer. IMPORTANT: Do not use the LFE input on the subwoofer with Dolby Pro Logic processors.
NOTE: If your receiver or amplifier has only one subwoofer output jack, then you will need to use a Y-connector (not
included). Plug the male end of the Y-connector into your receiver or amplifier’s subwoofer output jack, and connect
each of the two female ends to separate RCA-type interconnects. Finally, plug the RCA-type interconnects into the
line-level inputs on the subwoofer.
Connect each speaker to the corresponding speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier. Make sure your receiver or
processor is correctly configured to indicate that the subwoofer is “On.”
