Connecting

Subwoofer
to
Digital
Home
Theater
Systems Using
LFE
Digital 5.1,6.1 and
7.1
home
theater electronics dedicate one channel (the
".1
")
to
reproduce the special low-frequency
(LFE)
information (such
as
explosions and thunder) contained in digitally-encoded soundtracks.
Select "subwoofer-yes"from your receiver's set-up menu. Hooked
up
this
way,
the receiver's amplifier
is
relieved
of
having
to
reproduce the difficult
low
bass
signals
that
can drive the receiver
into
audible distortion.
In
some
cases
it can also depend on
several other settings
within
a receiver.
We
recommend consulting your receiver manual for further assistance
in
this
area.
Use
an
RCA
cable (not included),
as
shown,
to
connect your digital receiver's
LFE
subwoofer
output
to
the subwoofer.
Connect the other end
to
the
LFE
input.

Adjusting
the
Crossover Control
When using the Line
Level
inputs (not the
LFE
input) the subwoofer's built-in crossover
is
engaged.
As
a starting point, set the
crossover control
on
the subwoofer
about
10Hz higher than the lower limit
of
your main speakers'
bass
response.
Fine
-tune
the crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend
with
your main speakers. The best setting
of
the crossover control will
depend
on
speaker placement and personal preference.
