Connecting To Your System - Monoprice CSW-12 User Manual

5. SPEAKER LEVEL IN: If your amplifier lacks both a dedicated subwoofer output
or preamplifier outputs, connect the stereo speaker outputs on your amplifier to
the SPEAKER LEVEL IN inputs using 2 speaker wires (not included).
6. LINE IN/SUB IN: If your amplifier has a dedicated subwoofer output (usually
labeled SUB or LFE), use a mono RCA cable (not included) to connect the SUB/LFE
output on your amp to the left (L) input on the subwoofer. Alternatively, you can
use an RCA splitter cable (not included) to connect it to both the L and R inputs. If
your amp does not have a dedicated subwoofer output, but does have a
preamplifier output, use a stereo RCA cable (not included) to connect the stereo
preamplifier output to the L and R inputs.
7. POWER: Use the switch to turn the subwoofer ON or OFF. If you are using the
Auto Standby feature, the switch should be left in the ON position.
8. 120V ~ 60Hz: Plug the power cord into a nearby AC power outlet. The subwoofer
requires a nominal 120 VAC, 60Hz power source.

CONNECTING TO YOUR SYSTEM

Connecting to a SUB/LFE Output
The best connection to the subwoofer is using a dedicated subwoofer output, if your
amplifier has one, using a single, mono RCA cable (not included). Perform the following
steps to connect the subwoofer to a dedicated SUB/LFE output on your receiver or
amplifier. Note that any receiver that can decode Dolby Digital™ or DTS® soundtracks will
have a dedicated SUB/LFE output.
1. Power off and unplug all equipment to be connected.
2. Using a single, mono RCA cable (not included), plug one end into the LINE IN/SUB
IN L input on the subwoofer, then plug the other end into the dedicated SUB/LFE
output on your amplifier.
3. Turn the VOLUME LEVEL and LOW-PASS FILTER knobs fully counter clockwise
to the minimum position.
4. Ensure that the POWER switch on the subwoofer is in the OFF position.
