IMPORTANT: Make sure that ALL stereo system components including the  THP-CXB are turned OFF before proceeding.

2. Locate the line output RCA connectors on the back of the preamplifier. These may be marked by the manufacturer as:

PRE, PRE OUT, LINE OUT, MAIN OUTPUTS   TO POWER AMP

3. Connect a pair of high-quality line-level connection cables   RCA patch cords   between the pre amps MAIN OUT con-

nections and the LINE IN connections on the back of the  THP-CXB. Make sure that left is connected to left and right is

connected to right. We recommend that you treat the RED connection cable RCA plug as RIGHT and the BLACK or GREY
plug as LEFT.

4. 

Connect another set of connection cables between the THP-CXB LINE OUT connections and the INPUTS of the power

amplifier. Again, make sure that left is connected to left and right is connected to right.

5. 

Connect with cables the main speakers to the speaker terminals on the back of the power amplifier.

6. 

Connect with cables the Soundolier or other subwoofer to the round red and black “TO SUBWOOFER” terminals on the back

of the THP-CXB. Make sure that polarity is correct, using the BLACK binding post for the       connection and the RED
binding post for the ( +   connection.

7. IMPORTANT: Consult the owner’s

manual that came with the
subwoofer to determine if it is rated
at 4 ohms or 8 ohms. Then set the

   OHM    8   O H M ”

switch accordingly. If you are using
two subwoofers, refer to the section
titled; “Using Two 

 on

page
