Connecting Analog Audio Source Devices
Use the system’s Aux In connectors for up to two source devices that don’t have HDMI or
digital audio connectors.
Connecting to a Local Area Network (LAN)
Use a Cat. 5/5E network cable (not supplied) to connect the BDS system’s network
connector directly to a network router, a network switch, a network modem or an
Ethernet network wall jack that has Internet access.
NOTE: If you have a wireless home network, you can optionally skip this step
and use the BDS on-screen menus to connect it to Wi-Fi later on.

Connecting the Subwoofer Trigger Output
If your system has equipment that can be controlled by a DC trigger signal, connect it
to the system’s Subwoofer Trigger connector with a mono 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug
interconnect cable. The system will supply a 12V DC (100 mA) trigger signal at this con-
nection whenever it is powered ON.

Connecting the IR Remote Input
The BDS system is equipped with an IR Remote Input connector that lets you remotely
control the system when you place it inside a cabinet or in a location that is out of the
line of sight of the remote control. Connect an external IR receiver to the system’s IR
Remote Input connector.
