Use this installation method for receivers and preamp/processors that do not have a
dedicated subwoofer output but do have preamp-level (volume-controlled) line outputs.
Connect one end of a stereo RCA cable (not supplied) to the receiver's or preamp's line
outputs and the other end to the subwoofer's Line-Level L/R In connectors. Set the
subwoofer's Input Mode switch in the "Normal" position.
After you have made and verified all connections, plug the subwoofer's AC Power Cord
into a working AC outlet.

CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER TO A TRIGGER VOLTAGE SOURCE
Trigger Cable
(supplied)
The subwoofer will automatically turn on if it receives a trigger voltage at its External
Trigger Input connector and will enter the Standby mode when the voltage ceases.
If your preamp/processor or another audio/video component has a trigger-voltage
connection that supplies between 3V and 30V (AC or DC), connect it to the subwoofer's
External Trigger Input connector. If the component's trigger-voltage connection has a
3.5mm mini jack, you can use the supplied Trigger cable to make the connection.
NOTE: Do not connect the subwoofer's External Trigger input connector to a remote
control output (IR Out) of your home cinema system or surround receiver. Doing so could
lead to malfunction.
OPERATING YOUR SUBWOOFER
TURNING THE SUBWOOFER ON AND OFF
Set the subwoofer's Power switch to the "On" position.
If you set the Power On Mode switch to "Auto," the subwoofer will automatically turn
itself on when it receives an audio signal, and it will go into the standby mode after it has
received no audio signal for 15 minutes. The subwoofer's LED will glow white when the
subwoofer is on and will not be illuminated when the subwoofer is in the standby mode.
If you set the Power On Mode switch to "On," the subwoofer will remain on at all times.
The subwoofer's LED will glow white.
If you connect the subwoofer's External Trigger Input connector to a trigger-voltage
source, the subwoofer will turn on whenever a trigger voltage is present and will enter
the standby mode after the trigger voltage ceases, regardless of the position of the Power
On Mode switch.
If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if you will not be using
the subwoofer for an extended period, switch the Power switch to the "Off" position.
