7 CONNECTING THE HTS SUBWOOFER TO YOUR SYSTEM
This high performance subwoofer has been built and tested with care and precision, to provide first class performance
and reliable operation. To ensure maximum benefit from ownership, and for reasons of safety, please read the following
information before using for the first time.
The HTS subwoofer should be connected directly to your 5.1 decoder, AV home cinema receiver or integrated DVD/ decoder/
amplifier as follows:
• Locate the RCA or phono socket on your equipment labeled ‘LFE OUT’, ‘SUB OUT’ or ‘SUBWOOFER OUTPUT’.
• Using a single RCA to RCA (also known as phono to phono) good quality interconnect cable of suitable length, connect from the
‘LFE/ SUB/ SUBWOOFER OUTPUT’ on your equipment to the ‘LINE INPUT’ on the subwoofer.
• Locate and connect the mains lead supplied to the HTS subwoofer.
DO NOT CONNECT THE MAINS LEAD (POWER CORD) TO THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY JUST YET.
8 AlTERNATIVE METHODS OF SUBWOOFER CONNECTION
If you are using the subwoofer with equipment which does not have a special subwoofer output, or, for simple 2 channel stereo
with additional subwoofer (2.1 operation) you can connect the subwoofer using your amplifier’s speaker output terminals to provide
speaker signal level feeds to the HTS subwoofer ‘SPEAKER LEVEL’ inputs as follows:
• Prepare 2 lengths of twin speaker cable. One from the left channel amplifier output terminals to the subwoofer and one from the
right channel amplifier output terminals to the subwoofer.
• Remove the existing speaker cables from your amplifier terminals in turn and twist the speaker and subwoofer signal feed cables
together and reconnect to each terminal. Remember to keep +/RED to +/RED and -/BLACK to -/BLACK meticulously on both
sets of cables.
• If your amplifier has two sets of speaker terminals, usually labeled ‘A’ and ‘B’ you can use the unused second set to connect the
subwoofer feed cables. Remember to switch the second set of speakers (‘B’) to ‘on’ if necessary.
• Make sure the polarity of the speaker cables and the subwoofer cables is correct - failure to observe this may result in short
circuits and consequential damage to your amplifier.
• At the subwoofer connect the left feed cable to the SPEAKER LEVEL terminals LEFT - and the right feed cable to the
terminals RIGHT –
• Do not switch the subwoofer on at this stage. Make sure that the mains power switch on the subwoofer is set to OFF by pushing
the power switch rocker adjacent to the OFF label and that the mains lead is not connected to the wall socket.
