■ Example: Connecting the subwoofer to an amplifier that

features one set of speaker output terminals

Use speaker cables to connect the speaker output terminals of the amplifier to the

subwoofer’s INPUT 1 (FROM AMPLIFIER) terminals. Connect the front speakers to the

subwoofer’s OUTPUT (TO SPEAKERS) terminals. Although the subwoofer is connected

between the front speakers and the amplifier, the sound volume or quality will not be

affected.

Connecting one subwoofer

Connecting two subwoofers

■

Before connecting

Remove 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from the ends of the

speaker cables.

■ How to connect

1. Loosen the terminal’s knob, as shown in the figure.

2. Insert the bare wire.

3. Tighten the knob.

4. Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly

on the cable at the terminal.

Notes

• Make sure that the “+” and “–” polarity markings of the speaker cables are observed and set

correctly. If these cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other, because this could damage the subwoofer

or the amplifier.

• If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the subwoofer or the speakers. Do

not insert the insulation into the hole. Sound may not be produced.

• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the floor.

■ Example: Connecting the subwoofer to an amplifier featuring two

sets of speaker output terminals (A and B) that can output sound

signals simultaneously

Set the amplifier so that both sets of speaker output terminals (A and B) will output

sound signals simultaneously. Then, connect the front speakers to terminals A, and

connect the subwoofer to terminals B.

Note

If your amplifier features two sets of speaker output terminals that do NOT output sound

signals simultaneously, please refer to the example for connecting an amplifier that has

only one set of speaker output terminals (see the figure on the left).
