Connecting to this unit’s OUTPUT/INPUT terminals

For connections, keep the speaker wires as short as possible.

(Cut the excessive wire, if necessary.) If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, by observing + and – markings. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.

Do not let the core of the speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could damage this unit, your amplifier and/or speakers.

* Banana Plug connections are also possible (except for U.K.

and Europe models). Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

How to Connect:

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

1 Unscrew the knob.

2 Insert the core of the wire. [Remove approx. 5 mm (1/4”) insulation from the speaker wires.]

3 Tighten the knob to secure the wire firmly.

CONNECTING TO LINE OUTPUT (PIN JACK) TERMINALS OF THE AMPLIFIER

• Connect the main speakers to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier.

• Amplifier line output terminals are generally labeled PRE OUT or SUBWOOFER OUT.

• To connect with a YAMAHA DSP amplifier, connect the SUBWOOFER (or LOW PASS etc.) terminal on the rear of the DSP amplifier to either the left (L) or right (R) INPUT 2 terminal.

Notes on the above connections

• When connected to line output terminals of the amplifier, other speakers should not be connected to the OUTPUT terminals on the rear panel of the subwoofer. If connected, they will not produce sound.

• When connecting this unit to a monaural line output terminal of the amplifier, connect to either the left or right INPUT 2 terminal.

• For using a power amplifier and a preamplifier, the preamplifier must have two sets of PRE OUT terminals. If your preamplifier has only one set of PRE OUT, connect this unit to the speaker terminals. (See page 4.)
