9 RREECCEEIVIVERER 3 SPEAKER LEVEL IN (best for amps/receivers with no LFE/subwoofer or pre-out jacks) 1. Power-off the amplifier/receiver and disconnect the subwoofer from the AC socket. 2. Connect standard speaker cables from the speaker output terminals of the amplifier/receiver. Most amplifiers and receiver speaker terminals allow two sets of wires to be connected to one terminal set (one for the main speaker and one for the subwoofer). [IMPORTANT NOTE: One terminal on each channel input is marked with a red band (+) and the other is marked with a black band (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red (+) terminal of the subwoofer and the wire from the black (-) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the black (-) terminal of the subwoofer. It is essential to connect all speakers in the system to the amplifier in the same way (in correct polarity). If you experience poor bass, one or more of the channels may be connected in incorrect polarity and needs to be rewired. Pay close attention and connect positive to positive; negative to negative on all channels.] 3. Connect the subwoofer to an AC power source and turn it on (see page 7). 4. If the system is 2-channel, skip to step 8. 5. If the receiver is a multi-channel device, turn on the receiver's power and access the "speaker setup" or "speaker configuration" menu. 6. Set the subwoofer to "None" or "Off". 7. Set front L&R speakers as "Large". 8. Proceed to page 17 for subwoofer adjustment and system tweaking. 4 WIRELESS CONNECTION 1. In order to connect the subwoofer wirelessly, you must purchase an optional Definitive Technology wireless adaptor kit. 2. Follow the directions supplied with the wireless kit to connect the system. OTHER CONNECTIONS 12V trigger (OPTIONAL): Connect a cable with 3.5mm tip/ring male plugs to the 12V trigger output of the system's receiver or preamp/processor for one-button system turn-on.
