What is the difference between the stereo analog inputs
and the subwoofer input?
The Subwoofer Input
• This input connects to the subwoofer output of an AV pro-
cessor or AV receiver with bass-management functions as
part of its signal routing. It is only active when a subwoofer
speaker preset is selected.
The Analog RCA (R — right) and Left (L — left) Inputs
• With a subwoofer speaker preset, the Analog RCA (R —
right) and Left (L — left) inputs allow a stereo signal source
to drive a subwoofer without the voices or other high-
frequency content being heard through the subwoofer.
This preset enables the subwoofer to be connected to
these inputs even when the signal source contains a full
range of information. This preset is ideal when the source
equipment does not have built-in bass management.
• With a Stereo Speaker Preset, the full range signals play
through the main speakers.
