The wires supplied with the system may already be stripped and tinned for easy insertion into the speaker terminals. You may need to separate the two conductors further in order to thread them through the shelf stand or floor stand adaptor. Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (–) terminals.
CV OM 5/14/04 3:06 PM Page 9 SYSTEM CONNECTION The CVSUB50 subwoofer is equipped with only one input – a dedicated lowfrequency effects (LFE) input. Since the LFE channel is by definition limited to only the lowest portion of the frequency spectrum, it is crucial that your receiver’s output be compatible. The CVSUB50 should only be used with receivers or processors that have digital surround decoders, such as Dolby* Digital or DTS.
CV OM 5/14/04 3:06 PM Page 10 SUBWOOFER OPERATION Press the Master Power switch (marked “Power” å) in to the On position to use the subwoofer. The CVSUB50 subwoofer will automatically turn on or go into standby (sleep) mode as described below. When your receiver or amplifier is off, or is not sending program material to the subwoofer, the subwoofer will be in standby mode (LED on front of CVSUB50 will be red). When the subwoofer senses an audio signal, it will automatically turn on (LED will be green).
