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. Use 4 stereo RCA cables to connect the LINE IN jacks
2
of the subwoofer with the 7.1 output jacks of a pream-
plifier, such as a DecoderStation or ControlStation. In
the process make sure that you always connect the ap-
propriate jacks with each other (e.g. CENTER/CENTER or
SUB / SUBWOOFER).
If you use a 5.1 source device (DecoderStation 5, DVD
player, sound card), the subwoofer input jacks REAR RIGHT
and REAR LEFT are not occupied. However, you can route the
SURR RIGHT and SURR LEFT signals to the REAR RIGHT and
REAR LEFT inputs using a cinch Y adapter. The same signals
will then be emitted via the SURR RIGHT and REAR RIGHT
as well as the SURR LEFT and REAR LEFT speaker outputs
though.
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
1
for the satellite speakers are
located on the back side of the subwoofer.
Lay the included speaker cables from your subwoofer to
each of the speakers.
Little hint: Label the cables on the subwoofer side. This will
help when taking down and setting up the system.
2. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends
and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.
3. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire
protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.
4. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose.
Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Close
the terminal by turning it counterclockwise. The cable
has now been clamped in place. Connect all cables to the
subwoofer in this way.
5. Connect the other ends of the speaker cables to the satellite
speakers. The operating instructions of the speakers should
contain notes on this.
