Subwoofer Output - Connect an RCA cable from the processor's SW output (part of the surround outputs). If
your subwoofer does not contain its own amplifier you will need to purchase an external B&K or other power
amplifier. Connect the processor's SW output to the audio input of the external amplifier. Connect the external
amplifier's speaker output to your subwoofer.
