Connections
After your speakers are properly placed, you
are
ready
to
wire your system.
NOTE: Power
is
always supplied
to
the subwoofer electronics unless it
is
unplugged
or
switched
to
the Mute position using
the
power
switch located on the
rear
panel. The auto-on circuitry only activates or deactivates the
power
amplifier. Make sure
your subwoofer and receiver
are
unplugged
when
making the connection.
Power: When
plugging
your subwoofer in be sure
to
use
a wall outlet, or dedicated electrical outlet. Some receivers will
provide a switched outlet. Do
not
use this. These on board electrical outlets
do
not
offer the
amount
of
current
or
proper
isolation required by a
power
amplifier, such
as
the
one in your subwoofer.
Line level
or
LFE:
On
most
systems use the
Line
Level
input
or
the
LFE
input. These inputs accept
the
line-level signal from
your receiver's subwoofer output. Your receiver's manual should indicate which
input
is
most appropriate.
Connecting
the
Subwoofer
to
Digital
HomeTheater Systems Using
LFE
Digital 5.1,6.1 and
7.1
home
theater electronics dedicate one channel (the
".1
")
to
reproduce
the
special low-frequency
(LFE)
information (such
as
explosions and thunder) contained
in
digitally-encoded soundtracks.
Select "subwoofer-yes"from your receiver's set-up menu. Hooked
up
this way,
the
receiver's amplifier
is
relieved
of
having
to
reproduce
the
difficult
low
bass
signals
that
can drive the receiver into audible distortion. In some
cases
it can also depend
on several
other
settings
within
a receiver.
We
recommend consulting your receiver manual for further assistance in this
area.
Use
an
RCA
cable (not included),
as
shown,
to
connect
your digital receiver's LFEIsubwoofer
output
to
the
subwoofer.
Connect the
other
end
to
the
Line
Level/LFE
input.

Output
If
the receiver in your system does
not
have a subwoofer
or
LFE
output
you can connect the
RPS

to
a preamp
output.
Use
a stereo
RCA
cable (not included)
to
connect the preamp outputs
to
the
"L"
and
"R"
Line
Level
inputs.
