Wiring Hookup Steps for Most Receivers
on page 6. You will need one line level RCA
to RCA connector cable long enough to
reach from your receiver to your
V815/V1020/V1220 location. This should
be available from your B.I.C America deal-
er or from radio supply stores.
o
1. IMPORTANT: Make sure that ALL
stereo system components including
the V815/V1020/V1220 are turned
OFF before proceeding.
o
2.
Locate the subwoofer or LFE output
connector on the rear of your receiver and
connect one end of the RCA line level cord
to it.
o
3.
Route the line cord to the subwoofer
location (trying to minimize areas where it
may be stepped on) and connect the other
end directly to the SUB IN.
o
4.
Connect your main (and surround
speakers if applicable) to the receiver
according to the receiver’s owner’s manual.
o
5.
Set the RECEIVER TYPE toggle switch
to the type of receiver you have.
Note:
If
you are using a Dolby Digital type receiver,
the subwoofer crossover control does not
work. You must set the crossover frequen-
cy in your receiver (check your receiver’s
owner’s manual).
o
6.
You are now ready to put your
V815/V1020/V1220 subwoofer into use.
