Section 1.1—Connecting the ActivXo—Home Theater
You can connect the ActivXo within your system in a variety of ways,
depending on your needs. You can use it in conjunction with an LFE (Low-Fre-
quency Effects) channel for a dedicated home theater system, or it can be
used in conjunction with a subwoofer to extend the bass in a two-channel
music system. In systems where it is desirable to use the ActivXo with both the
surround processor in a theater system and in conjunction with a two-channel
music system featuring a preamp, you can switch between the two sources via
the ActivXo’s front panel’s Line/Processor switch. Switchable inputs enable you
to optimize the ActivXo for the surround mode and music mode separately and
simultaneously.
The ActivXo is also capable of accepting either balanced (XLR) or sin-
gle-ended (RCA) cable connectors from your preamplifier or surround processor.
Your choice will depend on the configuration of your particular preamp or
surround processor.
Connection With a Surround Processor
Use the following steps when connecting the ActivXo to a surround sound
processor with its own subwoofer controls.
1. Make sure the ActivXo power switch is in “off ” position, and the
Level control on the front panel is in the “Min” position during
the connecting process.
