Important note:
Connect only the RIGHT RCA connector (typically RED) from the adapter out of the MAINstage
to the MONO input of your subwoofer.
Additional Hook-up/Operation Tips
a) When the MAINstage “turns-on” it always starts
up in SURROUND mode.
b) Master power switch should normally be left on.
c) If you need to convert one of your digital sources
to either Coax or Optical out to match MAINstage’s
available input, Digital Signal Converters are
available, i.e., RadioShack #15-1228.
