Other Connection Situations

1)

Using the BassCube 821 system as a high perform-

ance stereo television sound system.

a) A stereo television with audio signal output typically

has two RCA-type jacks (one red, one white). To

connect to these jacks, use the cable with two RCA

plugs at one end and a 3.5 mm stereo miniplug at

the other end (included). Connect the miniplug to

LINE IN A of the BassCube 821 and the RCA plugs

to your television’s red and white RCA jacks. (Do

not connect to yellow RCA jacks. These are for

video signals.)

b) Some stereo televisions offer a choice of 

fixed

or

variable

audio output level. Choose the 

variable

out-

put. The 

fixed

output level bypasses the television’s

remote volume control.

c) Turn off your television’s internal speakers. This

control could be located on the front or back 

control panels of your television, or it may be an

“on-screen” menu selection.

d) If your television has a 

variable

audio output, you

may not need to connect the BassCube 821’s 

volume control. The television’s remote control will

adjust the volume level.

You 

will

need to connect the BassCube 821 

volume control if either of these situations occurs:

* Noise is heard even at the television’s minimum

volume setting. In this case, connect the volume

control and set it low enough to make the noise

inaudible, then stow the volume control next to the

subwoofer.

* You find the BassCube 821 is too “sensitive.” For

instance, if the output level is too loud when the 

television “volume” setting is below 30%. Connect

the volume control and reduce it’s setting to

increase your television’s volume range. Then stow

the volume control next to the subwoofer.
