Connections
After the subwoofer is placed you can make the audio and power connections. The wirelss transmitter lets you deliver the
audio signal to the subwoofer with a minimum amount of cable. However audio signal cables can also be connected directly
to the subwoofer if you prefer.
NOTE: Power is always supplied to the subwoofer electronics unless it is unplugged or switched to the off position using the
power switch located on the rear panel. The auto-on circuitry only activates or deactivates the power amplifier. Make sure
your subwoofer and receiver are unplugged when making the connection.
Subwoofer Power: When plugging your subwoofer in be sure to use a wall outlet, or dedicated electrical outlet. Some
receivers will provide a switched outlet. Do not use this. These on board electrical outlets do not offer the amount of current
or proper isolation required by a power amplifier, such as the one in your amplifier.
Transmitter Power: Plug the transmitter power supply into a power outlet. The transmitter power supply requires very little
power so you can plug it into an auxiliary power outlet on the receiver. Plug the connector on the power supply cable into
the transmitter power input labeled 5V DC.
Line level or LFE: On most systems use the line level in or the LFE input. These inputs accept the line-level signal from your
receiver's subwoofer output. Your receiver's manual should indicate which input is most appropriate.
Connecting the Subwoofer to Digital Home Theater Systems Using LFE
Digital 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 home theater electronics dedicate one channel (the ".1") to reproduce the special low-frequency (LFE)
information (such as explosions and thunder) contained in digitally-encoded soundtracks.
Select "subwoofer-yes" from your receiver's set-up menu. Hooked up this way, the receiver's amplifier is relieved of having to
reproduce the difficult low bass signals that can drive the receiver into audible distortion. In some cases it can also depend on
several other settings within a receiver. We recommend consulting your receiver manual for further assistance in this area.
Use an RCA cable (not included), as shown, to connect your digital receiver's LFE subwoofer output to the LFE input of the
transmitter or the LFE input on the subwoofer.
Connecting the Subwoofer to Stereo or Dolby® Pro Logic®
For stereo or Dolby Pro Logic systems use the sub out connection from your receiver to the Left or Right inputs on the
transmitter or the subwoofer.
