Dolby Pro Logic

®

(Non-Digital) – Line Level

USE THIS INSTALLATION METHOD FOR
DOLBY PRO LOGIC APPLICATIONS (NOT
DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS OR OTHER DIGITAL
PROCESSING), WHERE THE RECEIVER/
PROCESSOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT, OR A VOLUME-
CONTROLLED PREAMP (LINE-) LEVEL 
OUTPUT:

Use the supplied RCA-type interconnect
cable to connect the line-level subwoofer
output on your receiver or amplifier to either
the left or right 

Line-Level Full-Range

Input

on the SUB-TS18 subwoofer.

Use both the left and right inputs on the
subwoofer if your receiver or processor has
both left and right line-level outputs. In that
case, you will need to supply a second
interconnect cable.

If your receiver is equipped with line-level out-
puts but does not have a separate subwoofer
output, use a Y-adapter (not supplied) to
bridge the receiver’s preamp output to the
main amp input for that channel, and connect
the long end of the adapter to the corre-
sponding line-level input on the SUB-TS18.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use the 

SUB Input

§

on the subwoofer with Dolby Pro Logic

processors.

If your receiver/processor has a built-in low-
pass-crossover filter for the subwoofer out-
put, you may use the 

SUB Input

§

to

bypass the subwoofer’s internal crossover.

Connect each speaker to the corresponding
speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier.

Make sure that you have configured your
surround sound processor for “Subwoofer
On.” The front left, front right, center and
surround speakers should all be set to
“Small.”

When all connections have been made, plug
the AC power cord on the subwoofer into
an AC outlet.
