■
Example: Connecting the subwoofer to an amplifier that
features one set of speaker output terminals
Use speaker cables to connect the speaker output terminals of the amplifier to the
subwoofer's INPUT 1 (FROM AMPLIFIER) terminals. Connect the front speakers to the
subwoofer's OUTPUT (TO SPEAKERS) terminals. Although the subwoofer is connected
between the front speakers and the amplifier, the sound volume or quality will not be
affected.

Example: Connecting the subwoofer to an amplifier featuring two
sets of speaker output terminals (A and B) that can output sound
signals simultaneously
Set the amplifier so that both sets of speaker output terminals (A and B) will output
sound signals simultaneously. Then, connect the front speakers to terminals A, and
connect the subwoofer to terminals B.
Note
If your amplifier features two sets of speaker output terminals that do NOT output sound
signals simultaneously, please refer to the example for connecting an amplifier that has
only one set of speaker output terminals (see the figure on the left).

Notes
speaker
• Make sure that the "+" and "–" polarity markings of the speaker cables are observed and set
correctly. If these cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Subwoofer
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other, because this could damage the subwoofer
or the amplifier.
• If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the subwoofer or the speakers. Do
not insert the insulation into the hole. Sound may not be produced.
• To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the floor.
