Rear Panel Connections
Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB) Input:
Con-
nect 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-TS’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 separate
subwoofer output, use a Y-adapter (not supplied)
to bridge the receiver’s preamp output to the
main amp input for that channel, and connect
the long end of the adapter to the correspon-
ding line-level input on the SUB-TS. 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-TS, and no Y-adapter is
needed.
Speaker-Level Outputs:
If you are using
the
Speaker-Level Inputs
on the SUB-TS,
you should connect these binding-post terminals
to your front left and right speakers, remember-
ing to maintain polarity by connecting the (+)
terminal on the SUB-TS subwoofer to the (+)
terminal on the speaker, and the (–) terminal on
the SUB-TS 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 amplifi-
er. See pages 9 through 12 for further informa-
tion on speaker connections.
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-TS subwoofer, and the (–) terminal on the
receiver/amplifier to the (–) terminal on the
SUB-TS subwoofer.
Master Power Switch:
Place this switch in
the “•” position to power-on the SUB-TS sub-
woofer. The SUB-TS will then be either in the
Standby mode or completely on, depending on
the position of the
Music-Sense On/Off
Switch
.
AC Power Cord:
Make sure to plug this
cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet
for proper operation of the SUB-TS.
The cord should not be plugged into the
accessory outlets found on some audio
components.
