Hook-up - use one or the other, not all methods.
1. Connection with Audio RCA Cables (see Figure 1 on previous page)
Connect a single RCA cable from your receiver's Subwoofer output to your Subwoofer's line level
input. Most receivers have a single RCA jack for subwoofer output. If your receiver has left and right
subwoofer outputs or if you are using the variable audio outputs from your TV as an input source,
a "Y" jack should be used to convert the two RCA connectors into a single one. Please consult your
Reel Acoustics dealer for more information.
2. Connection with Speaker Wire – RSW-810 & RSW-1012 only (see Figure 2 below)
Please follow correct polarity (+/–, red/black) when using speaker cable. All speaker cables have
indication on the insulation, either by colour, writing or ribs, to determine positive or negative conductors.
From your receiver or amplifier connect front left and front right speaker cables to the high level inputs
on the subwoofer and then from the high level speaker outs on your main speaker.

3. Connection to TV
Many new TV's are equipped with variable audio RCA outputs. These outputs vary in signal level with
the TV's volume control. These connections can be made directly to the subwoofer to enhance the bass
performance of the TV's audio speakers.
