A Note About Dolby Digital
(AC-3), Large Front Speakers
And Powered Subwoofers
While it is logical to connect the
Powered Subwoofer to the
“Subwoofer Output” or LFE (Low
Frequency Effects) output of a
Dolby Digital (AC-3) equipped
system, there are some instances
when bypassing this output can
result in better sound.
Most Dolby Digital (AC-3) decod-
ers automatically remove the low
bass content from all the Main
speakers if the “Subwoofer Output”
switch is set to “On”. The Main
speaker “Large/Small” switches still
appear to function, but they are
actually locked in the “Small”
mode.
This automatic bass limiting is
unnecessary with large Main
speakers. You can effectively send
all low-bass and Low Frequency
Effects signals to both your Main
To connect between a stereo preamp
and a stereo power amp, combine a
suitable length stereo phono cable with
two “Y” adapters. Each adapter is one
RCA male plug to two RCA female jacks
(Figure 2). Some receivers and
integrated amplifiers have preamp
outputs and power amp inputs that
are accessible by removing jumpers
from the back panel. Connection Method Three:
Connect from a subwoofer output
