Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the AV controller’s SUB-
WOOFER PRE OUT to the input on your powered sub-
woofer. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re 
using an external amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER 
PRE OUT to the amp’s input.
You can also connect a powered subwoofer to the AV 
controller’s balanced SUBWOOFER PRE OUT XLR 
jack by using a balanced XLR cable.
You can connect the AV controller to a multichannel power amplifier with RCA input jacks by using a multichannel 
RCA audio cable or several stereo RCA audio cables.
See your multichannel power amplifier’s instruction manual for more information on connecting speakers.
