C O N N E C T I N G T H E S P E A K E R S T O Y O U R S Y S T E M (General Directions) We recommend using two-conductor 16 gauge or thicker speaker wire. Strip 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors to expose the bare metal and twist each of the individual conductors into single unfrayed strands. Note that one of the terminals on the rear of each speaker is red (+) and the other is black (–).
RM7600 HOOKUP OPTIONS OPTION 1—SPEAKER WIRE HOOKUP, OUR FAVORITE HOOKUP METHOD (Figure 8): Using Speaker Wire, connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver or amplifier to the “speaker level” (wire) inputs of the powered subwoofer. Then, connect the left and right front satellite speakers with speaker wire from the “speaker level” outputs of the powered subwoofer. Connect the Center Channel Speaker directly to the center channel output from your receiver.
RM7200 POWERED SUBWOOFER ADJUSTMENTS (Figure 13) The RM7200 Powered Subwoofer offers a range of setting options. We recommend the following settings as starting points, but the settings that are best for you depend upon your speaker placement, electronics and personal taste. After you’ve become familiar with what the settings do, experiment with alternate options to find the method that works best for your system setup.

RM7600 +3dB BASS BOOST In most cases, this switch should be set to “0.” If you have hooked up the subwoofers from a subwoofer output or pre-out jacks and cannot get enough bass output even with the subwoofer level control turned all the way up, switch to the +3dB position. In typical systems where the 3dB boost is not needed, this switch can be useful for providing a quick boost for bass-shy program material.
