Setting Up

 

Connecting the LFE subwoofer input

 

If your receiver or amplifier has a Subwoofer or Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel output, 
use a single RCA male to RCA male patch cord to make the connection. Connect the “LFE/
Subwoofer” input on the left main speaker to the LFE/subwoofer output of your receiver or 
amplifier (Figure 7). Refer to the LFE level control section on page 9.

Connecting the LFE input to 
your receiver

 

Note: 

 

Now is a good time to record the serial numbers of these speakers on page 3 of this 

guide and on your warranty card.

 

Checking the connections

 

Check all the connections from the receiver to the left main speaker and from the left main 
speaker to the right accessory speaker. Make sure all the wires are connected in phase (+ to 
+ and – to –). 

Correct any wiring problems before you plug in your receiver or speakers and turn them on. 

 

Plugging in the left main speaker

 

Once you have checked all the connections, insert one end of the supplied power cord to the 
“Power” jack on the left main speaker. Insert the other end of the power cord into an AC 
power mains. Plug your receiver or amplifier back into the AC power mains. Then, turn on the 
left main speaker power switch (Figure 8). Turning the power switch on puts the speakers in a 
standby mode. Finally, turn on your receiver or amplifier power switch.

During normal use, the left main speaker power switch should be left on and the system 
should be controlled through the receiver. However, if the speakers will not be used for an 
extended period of time, you should turn the left main speaker power switch off.

 

Note: 

 

The left main speaker power switch must be turned on for the speakers to work prop-

erly. If it is not turned on, there will be no bass.
