THE SUBWOOFER
To achieve optimal bass performance for music and home theater, please read through the
guidelines for subwoofer placement provided in the next section.
SIGNAL INPUTS
Low-Level Input
Allows connection from the LFE or Right/Left Output of an A/V receiver, processor or other
suitable low-level source.
CONTROL FACILITIES
Auto On/Standby
The subwoofer will turn on when it receives an input signal and the LED will turn Green. If no
signal is sensed for a period of time, the subwoofer will automatically switch to Standby and
the LED will turn Red.
SPEAKER CONNECTION
Turn your amplifier OFF before connecting speakers.
This will avoid damage which could result from accidental
shorting of speaker cables.
Your speakers are equipped with binding posts that can be used with banana, pin or spade
connectors, as well as with bare wire. Using high-quality speaker cable (not included, see
your Dealer), connect one speaker at a time to your receiver/amplifier. Connect the red (+)
amplifier terminal to the red (+) speaker terminal and the black (–) to the black (–) (Fig. 3).
Tighten the posts firmly by hand, but don’t over-tighten them.
Turn your amplifier on and listen to your speakers. If you notice a complete lack of mid-bass
and a dislocated image, one or more of your speakers may be connected out-of-phase (their
polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each speaker’s cable is connected with correct
polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–). Make sure wires are firmly fastened.
