amplifier.

Subwoofer Connections

1a If your receiver/processor has a dedicated subwoofer output with low-pass
filtering (also called bass management), use the included LFE cable to connect
the subwoofer's Line Level LFE In jack to the dedicated subwoofer output (or LFE
output) of your receiver or preamp/processor. Set the subwoofer's Input Mode
switch to the "LFE" position.
Configure your receiver or preamp/processor's setup menu for Subwoofer ON,
and set the front left, front right, center and surround speakers to Small. If
your receiver or preamp/processor offers a choice of subwoofer low-pass filter
crossover frequencies, choose 150Hz or the one closest to 150Hz.
