4. IR (Infrared) Output
For use when controlling other IR devices via the PLW215 II. Connect a cable with a mono 3.5mm jack connector between the
PLW215 II and the other device and use the other device’s remote via the PLW215 II to control it. This is ideal when the other
device is out of line of site or in another room to the sub-woofer.
5. Line Level Inputs (Stereo Left & Right)
For connection to a 2 channel/ stereo amplifier system. Connection should be provided by a pair of high-quality signal cables
from the pre-out section of an amplifier. Note:- cable lengths should not exceed 10 metres to avoid interference from other
electrical appliances.
6. RCA Line Level Outputs (Stereo Left & Right)
To be used to feed additional sub-woofers or on to a power amplifier from the PLW215 II by ‘daisy chain’ type connection. The
outputs are link out only connections and do not provide any form of filtering or amplification. There must be a signal on the
stereo input for the linked outputs to work.
7. LFE Input (RCA Type)
This input is to be used when connecting the PLW215 II to an AV amplifier/ receiver. When using the LFE input, the crossover
function in the menu/ set-up is not used. This is due to the crossover function being controlled by the source to which it is
connected. Input between LFE and Stereo input is switched automatically.
8. LFE Output/ Link (RCA Type)
To be used to feed additional PLW215 II’s (or another subwoofer) by ‘daisy chain’ type connection. The output is a link out
only connection and does not provide any form of filtering.
9. Balanced LFE Output (Male XLR Type)
To be used when connecting to the balanced input on an additional sub woofer or amplifier. This is the best method of
connection when using long runs of cables (over 10m, upto 100m). A balanced connection provides a much better, almost
noise free method of connection over analogue audio type connectors.
10. Balanced LFE Input (Female XLR Type)
To be used when connecting to the balanced output on the amplifier. This is the best method of connection when using long
runs of cables (over 10m upto 100m). A balanced connection provides a much better, almost noise free method of connection
over analogue audio type connectors.
11. Voltage Selection Switch
Factory preset to suit the voltage of the country of origin. This should not be adjusted.
12. IEC Mains Power Connector/Fuse Location
The PLW215 II is supplied with a three-pin mains input socket for connection to the mains supply. Use ONLY the appropriate
IEC mains lead provided with the product. Also fitted is an external mains fuse. If a fuse blows during operation a spare fuse
is provided within the fuse holder for replacement. If you wish to change the fuse, you can do this by removing the IEC mains
lead and carefully levering out the original fuse from its holder below the IEC mains input socket (12a, opposite). If the fuse
blows again it is advisable to seek help from an authorised service agent. DO NOT attempt to re-fit a further fuse as this could
result in serious damage to the amplifier unit.
13. Mains Power Switch
Mains ‘rocker switch’ providing overall power off and on/ auto. In the on/auto mode, the unit will turn on when an input signal is sensed or the
control dial/ power button on remote pressed, and will turn off after 20 minutes (default setting) when the signal is removed (source turned
off). Alternatively, using the 12v trigger (see above) to control the power by turning the source on or off.
