Use the line-level input jack marked “LFE” for the Low-Frequency Effects channel. Connect this jack to the LFE output 

or subwoofer output on your receiver or amplifier. 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.” Also, configure your receiver 

for 5.1-, 6.1- or 7.1-channel operation as appropriate. The front left, front right, center and back speakers should 

all be set to “Small.” If your receiver allows you to set the crossover frequency between the subwoofer and the main 

speakers, select 100Hz or the setting that is the closest frequency below it.

Use RCA-type cables to connect the line-level subwoofer outputs on your receiver or amplifier to the line-level inputs 

on the subwoofer. IMPORTANT: Do not use the LFE input on the subwoofer with Dolby Pro Logic processors.

    

NOTE: If your receiver or amplifier has only one subwoofer output jack, then you will need to use a Y-connector (not 

included). Plug the male end of the Y-connector into your receiver or amplifier’s subwoofer output jack, and connect 

each of the two female ends to separate RCA-type interconnects. Finally, plug the RCA-type interconnects into the 

line-level inputs on the subwoofer.

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

processor is correctly configured to indicate that the subwoofer is “On.”
