SPEAKER-LEVEL SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS LINE-LEVEL SUBWOOFER CONNECTION If your receiver has a pair of stereo subwoofer outputs, connect interconnect cable from the receiver's left and right subwoofer outputs to the corresponding inputs marked LINE LEVEL IN L and R on the subwoofer. Connection tips Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown. Speakers and amplifiers/receivers have corresponding (+) and (–) terminals. The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a stripe.
OPERATION With LFE Connection If you are using the LFE input, the subwoofer's CROSSOVER control is NOT active, because this function is controlled by your surround processor. When using the LFE input, set the subwoofer's VOLUME control to "Max" and calibrate the subwoofer level along with the other speakers according to the set-up instructions in the owner's manual for your surround receiver/amplifier.
ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK If the bass seems boomy, or you notice a rumbling sound when listening to record albums, the cause may be acoustic feedback. This means that low-frequency vibrations from your speakers are reaching the turntable.To help isolate the turntable from these vibrations, place the turntable on a heavy, solid support, as far away as possible from the subwoofer. If you continue to experience difficulties after experimenting with placement, consult your Infinity dealer.
