Speaker-Level Inputs:
Connect these
binding post terminals to the main left and
right speaker terminals of your receiver or
amplifier, if your receiver or amplifier does
not have a line-level subwoofer output.
Remember to maintain polarity by connecting
the (+) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the
(+) terminal on the SUB-TS12 subwoofer, and
the (–) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the
(–) terminal on the SUB-TS12 subwoofer.
™
Speaker-Level Outputs:
If you are
using the
Speaker-Level Inputs
¡
on the
SUB-TS12, you should connect these bind-
ing post terminals to your front left and right
speakers, remembering to maintain polarity
by connecting the (+) terminal on the SUB-
TS12 subwoofer to the (+) terminal on the
speaker, and the (–) terminal on the SUB-
TS12 subwoofer to the (–) terminal on the
speaker. If you are not using the
Speaker-
Level Inputs
¡
, then connect your front
left and right speakers directly to your
receiver or amplifier. See pages 10 through
12 for further information on speaker con-
nections.
£
Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB) Input:
Connect the subwoofer output of a receiver
with digital surround sound decoding, such
as Dolby* Digital or DTS
®
, to this input. This
input bypasses the SUB-TS12’s internal
crossover circuitry, and should only be used
with a filtered signal. If your receiver does not
have digital decoding, you should use the
Line-Level Full-Range Inputs
¢
instead.
¢
Line-Level Full-Range Inputs:
Connect
the line-level subwoofer output or preamp out-
put(s) of your receiver or amplifier to these
inputs. If your receiver does not have a sepa-
rate subwoofer output, use a Y-adaptor (not
supplied) to bridge the receiver’s preamp out-
put to the main amp input for that channel,
and connect the long end of the adaptor
to the corresponding line-level input on the
SUB-TS12. If your receiver has only a single
subwoofer output, you may connect it to
either the left or right line-level input on the
SUB-TS12, and no Y-adaptor is needed.

Phase Switch:
This switch determines
whether the SUB-TS12 subwoofer’s piston-
like action moves in and out in phase with
the main speakers. If the speakers were to
