LFE input on the subwoofer
with Dolby Pro Logic
processors. Note: If your
receiver or amplifier only has
one subwoofer output jack,
then you will need to use a Y-
connector (not included). Plug
the male end of the Y-
connector into your receiver or
amplifier's subwoofer output
jack, and connect each of the
two female ends to separate
RCA-type patch cords. Finally,
plug the RCA-type patch cords
into the line-level inputs on the
subwoofer.
Connect each speaker to the
corresponding speaker
terminals on your receiver or
amplifier.
Note:
When using the LFE input, the
subwoofer's Crossover control
is NOT active, because this
function is controlled by your
surround processor.
When using the LFE input, set
the subwoofer's Volume control
to "Max" and calibrate the
subwoofer level along with the
other speakers according to
the set-up instructions in the
owner's manual for your
surround receiver/amplifier.
