    SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers, including those over bottom or side speaker drivers, may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all service to qualified service personnel. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel under the following conditions: When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

  • Page 4: Introduction

    Subwoofer between the Satellite speakers or in any specific location in the room. Except for the V-125, MX-1000 and MX-1000cc, M&K Subwoofers are not magnetically shielded. Leave 2 - 3 feet of clearance around any television set. This shielding avoids magnetization of the shadow mask of the television's picture tube, which will distort the television's picture.

  • Page 5: Standard Amplifier/Speaker Wire Connections

    The most common way to hook up the Subwoofer is to connect it to your receiver or amplifier using speaker wires. You make the same kind of connections that you would use for your Satellite (or main) speakers, except that both the left and right channels go to the Subwoofer. (If you are using two Subwoofers, connect one channel only to each Subwoofer).

  • Page 6: Satellite Speaker Wiring Option 1

    This option has the Satellite speakers directly connected to your amp or receiver. It requires two sets of speaker wires — one set running to the Satellite speakers and the other set to the Subwoofer. Please note that (except for the V-125) there is no High-Pass filter built into the Subwoofer.
  • Page 7 (ALSO SHOWS USE OF THE V-125's HIGH-LEVEL HIGH-PASS FILTER) If your Amplifier has two sets of speaker outputs (e.g., A and B), you can connect the Satellites to one set and the Subwoofer to the other. But if you get weak or no output when you connect your speaker this way, connect both sets of speaker wires to the same output terminals.

  • Page 8: Wiring With A Separate Amp And Preamp (Rca Jacks)

    Electronic High-Pass filters, crossovers, surround sound processors, etc. These inputs will give slightly better bass quality than the speaker wire inputs, because they bypass the receiver or amplifier. If you have only one set of preamp outputs, and are not using an M&K Electronic High-Pass Filter or a crossover, you will have to use a Y-connector to feed both the amplifier and the Subwoofer.

  • Page 9: Wiring With The M&K Lp-1S Or Vf-100 Electronic High-Pass Filters

    powered subwoofers the left Subwoofer and the right interconnect cable to the right Subwoofer. WIRING WITH THE LP-1S & VF-100 ELECTRONIC HIGH-PASS FILTERS The M&K LP-1S and VF-100 Electronic High-Pass Filters can improve the performance of any system that allows for separation of its preamp and power amp stages by filtering the bass signal fed to the main amplifier and Satellite speakers.

  • Page 10: Plugging In The Subwoofer

    NOTE: If you have the V-125 subwoofer, ignore the instructions that make reference to changing the Satellite speaker inputs. In place of changing the inputs, all you have to do is move the "PHASE" switch on the V-125's back panel from either up (+) or down (—) to the opposite position.

  • Page 11: Use Of The "Filter" Control

    You need to perform this test because when Satellite speakers are located separate from a Subwoofer, each speaker is at a different distance from your ear. In some cases, the difference will be just enough so that the output from the Subwoofer arrives out of phase with the output of the Satellites.

    powered subwoofers the "BASS LEVEL" control slightly higher. 8. FINE-TUNING SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT If you have the physical space in your room and the interest to experiment with the placement of your Subwoofer, you may be able to optimize its location and sound. If you want to do this, listen to the Subwoofer after it is hooked up, using a familiar CD, LP, or tape with good bass content.

  • Page 13: Connecting To A Surround Sound Receiver Or Processor

    VERY IMPORTANT: When the Subwoofer is connected to the Left and Right amplifier outputs (this means using speaker wires), and the controller is in Pro-Logic mode, the Center channel WIDE/ NORMAL switch MUST be set to the NORMAL mode. If the switch is set to the WIDE mode, the bass content of the Center channel will not be fed to the Subwoofer, and a significant amount of the bass in the material you are listening to will be lost.

    (to the left and right sides of the pedestal). Your set should not be exposed to this lobe. Therefore: Do not mount the television on the MX-1000 or MX-1000cc from the side. Place it on the pedestal from the front or the back only.
  • Page 15 Subwoofer every time you turn the system on: Either the preamp, receiver, or surround sound processor is generating the thump, and the Subwoofer is reproducing it. To eliminate this problem, switch to the speaker wire "FROM AMPLIFIER" input terminals.
