SUBWOOFER CONNECTION - METHOD A Connecting to Receivers with a SUBWOOFER or LFE Output Jack All Dolby Digital, DTS, THX, and Bass Management equipped receivers have a low level SUBWOOFER or LFE output jack. If you have this, you will use the METHOD A connection as shown below in Drawing C. This is the recommended and easiest connection. If your receiver does not have a low level SUBWOOFER or LFE output jack, you will use METHOD B (Drawing D) on Page 7 to connect your subwoofer to the receiver.
SUBWOOFER CONNECTION-METHOD B 7 Connecting to Receivers with NO SUBWOOFER or LFE Output Jack If your receiver does not have a low level SUBWOOFER or LFE output jack (for example, older Dolby Pro Logic receivers or stereo-only integrated amps), you will use the method shown below in Drawing D to connect your subwoofer to the receiver.

TROUBLESHOOTINGꢀGUIDE 10 If you are having a problem with your subwoofer, please read through this “Trouble Shooting Guide”. Many times problems are actually caused by other items in the system or the subwoofer’s interaction with those items. These problems can easily be resolved with this guide. Problem 1) HUMMING OR BUZZING NOISE Cause Solution You have a Ground Loop or problem with other equipment. This causes the vast majority of hum related complaints.
Problem 4) NO OUTPUT FROM SUB Cause AC power is not getting to the amplifier. LED DOES NOT LIGHT UP • Make sure the switch on the back of the sub is in the “ON” position. • Check that you are using the correct power cord and that it is plugged in securely at both ends and make sure that the AC outlet the subwoofer is plugged into is working. Try another power cord. Fuse is blown or subwoofer amplifier is not working.
