Connecting the subwoofer
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
1. Pull the power plug of all devices to be connected out of the
socket to prevent accidental activation.
2. Connect the LINE IN jacks
6
of the subwoofer to the 5.1
output jacks of a preamplifier, such as a DecoderStation or
ControlStation, using the enclosed RCA connector cables.
In the process, make sure that you always connect jacks
of the same name with each other (e.g. Center / Center or
Subwoofer / Sub).
Connecting satellite speakers
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise the
sound quality will suffer.
The strands of the speaker cables are marked with different
colours or shapes.
1. The connector terminals
4
for the satellite speakers are
located on the back side of the subwoofer.
Run the enclosed speaker cables from the subwoofer to
each satellite speaker.
Small tip: Label the cables on the subwoofer side. This will
help when taking down and setting up the system.
2. Split the speaker cables down to approx. 30 mm on both
ends and remove approx. 10 mm of insulation.
3. Twist the stripped cable ends so that no wires are protruding.
Tin coating is not necessary.
4. Push down the connector terminal levers and run the
stripped cable ends into the corresponding holes. When
releasing the lever, the cable ends will be locked.
Connect all cables to the subwoofer in this way.
5. Connect the other ends of the speaker cables to the satellite
speakers. You should find notes on the procedure in the cor-
responding operating instructions.
Connecting to a power supply
• Ensure that the mains switch
10
“Power” on the subwoofer is
switched off (“0 OFF” position).
• Connect the mains connector jack
8
with a mains socket
using the power cord.
• In addition, reconnect the power plug of your preamplifier
(DecoderStation or ControlStation) to the socket.
