DOLBY PRO LOGIC* (NON-DIGITAL) – LINE LEVEL

Use this installation method
for Dolby Pro Logic* applica-
tions (not Dolby Digital, DTS
or other digital processing),
where the receiver/proces-
sor is equipped with a sub-
woofer output, or a volume-
controlled preamp (line-)
level output:

Use RCA-type interconnects
to connect the line-level 
subwoofer outputs on your
receiver or amplifier to the
line-level inputs on the sub-
woofer. IMPORTANT: Do not
use the LFE input on the sub-
woofer with Dolby Pro Logic
processors. 

NOTE: If your receiver or
amplifier only has one sub-
woofer output jack, then you
will need to use a Y-connec-
tor (not included). Plug the
male end of the Y-connector
into your receiver or ampli-
fier’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 sub-
woofer.

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

Make sure your receiver or
processor is correctly con-
figured to indicate that the
subwoofer is “On.”

Note for advanced users: If
your receiver/processor has
a built-in low-pass crossover
filter for the subwoofer out-
put, you may use the LFE
input to bypass the sub-
woofer’s internal crossover.

Use this installation method
for Dolby* Digital, DTS

®

or

other digital surround
processors: 

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 “Sub-
woofer On”. 
For the SCS200.6 system, the
receiver should be config-
ured for 6.1-channel opera-
tion. For both the SCS200.5

and SCS200.6 systems, the
front left, front right, center
and rear 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
120Hz or the setting that is
the closest frequency below
it.
