AUdIO RECEIVER OPTION #1
The audio receiver’s LFE or SUB output is the input to the subwoofer (most common case). Use the audio receiver’s speaker menu and set
as follows:

1. Select that you have a subwoofer.
2. Select the number of speakers.
3. Select the speaker size as SMALL.
4. If you don’t know the low frequency limit of your main speakers, use 80 Hz as the crossover point. The lower limit of the main

speaker’s frequency response is usually listed in the speaker specifications as, for example, “3 dB down at 45 Hz.”
In this example, double the value (45 Hz) and use the doubled-value (90 Hz) as the crossover frequency.

5. Adjust the LFE /SUB output level to 0 dB.
6. Go to the Connect Subwoofer instructions next.

AUdIO RECEIVER OPTION #2
The audio receiver’s unfiltered/full frequency range R and L output channels, not its LFE or SUB output, is the input to the WiConnect System
(less common case). Use the audio receiver’s speaker menu and set as follows:

1. Select that you have NO subwoofer.
2. Select the number of speakers.
3. Select the speaker size as LARGE.
4. If the crossover frequency option is available, double your main speakers specified low frequency response value and select

the result as the crossover frequency. If you don’t know the low frequency response value, use 80 Hz.

5. Go to the Connect Subwoofer instructions next.

AUdIO RECEIVER OPTION #3
The audio receiver has no LFE or SUB output:

1. No selections to make in the receiver’s speaker menu.
