Boston Acoustics VPS 210 Owner's Manual/Safety Instructions/Compliance Information page 5

NOTE: Power is always supplied to the VPS 210 electronics unless it is unplugged or switched to the off position using the
power switch located on the top panel. The auto-on circuitry only activates or deactivates the power amplifier. Make sure
your subwoofer and receiver are unplugged when making connections.
Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the power input.
Then plug the power cord directly into a wall outlet. Some audio
receivers components provide auxiliary power outlets We suggest
that you do not use them. They may not be able to provide the
amount of current or proper isolation required by a power ampli-
fier, such as the one in the VPS 210.
Connecting to a Digital Home Theater
System Using the LFE Input
Digital 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 home theater electronics
dedicate one channel (the ".1") to reproduce the
special low-frequency (LFE) information (such as
explosions and thunder) contained in digitally-
encoded soundtracks.
Select "subwoofer-yes" from your receiver's set-up
menu. Hooked up this way, the receiver's amplifier
is relieved of having to reproduce the difficult low bass signals that can drive the receiver into audible distortion. In some
cases it can also depend on several other settings within a receiver. We recommend consulting your receiver manual for
further assistance in this area.
Use an RCA cable (not included), as shown, to connect your digital receiver's LFE subwoofer output to the subwoofer. Con-
nect the other end to the LFE input.
Connecting to a Stereo or Dolby® Pro Logic® System
For stereo or Dolby Pro Logic systems use the
"sub out" connection from your receiver to
one of the VPS 210 Line Level inputs marked
"L" and "R".
Connecting to Electronics Without a Subwoofer Output
If your system does not have a subwoofer or
LFE output you can connect the VPS 210 to a
preamp output. Use a stereo RCA cable (not
included) to connect the preamp outputs to the
Line Level inputs marked "L" and "R".
