For safety considerations, turn off all other system com-
ponents before you connect or disconnect any compo-
nent and plug the power cable for the last.

connect the SKW-204 LINE INPUT to SUBWOOFER 
PREOUT jack using the supplied pin connector cable. 

 

Subwoofer effects

 

Adding a subwoofer to your speaker system expands the 
bandwidth of the bass range. However, if the sub-
woofer’s reproduction bandwidth or sound output level 
is improperly adjusted, the overall performance may 
decrease, as shown in the graphs below.

When the subwoofer’s output level is incorrect

When the subwoofer’s reproduction bandwidth 

 

is far from the speaker’s bandwidth
