Remember to maintain polarity by connecting the (+) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the (+) terminal on the SUB-TS12 subwoofer, and the (-) terminal on the receiver/amplifier to the (-) terminal on the SUB-TS12 subwoofer. ™ Speaker-Level Outputs: If you are using the Speaker-Level Inputs ¡ on the SUB-TS12, you should connect these binding post terminals to your front left and right speakers, remembering to maintain polarity by connecting the (+) terminal on the SUBTS12 subwoofer to the (+) terminal on the speaker, and the (-) terminal on the SUBTS12 subwoofer to the (-) terminal on the speaker. If you are not using the SpeakerLevel Inputs ¡, then connect your front left and right speakers directly to your receiver or amplifier. See pages 10 through 12 for further information on speaker connections. £ Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB) Input: Connect the subwoofer output of a receiver with digital surround sound decoding, such as Dolby* Digital or DTS®, to this input. This input bypasses the SUB-TS12's internal crossover circuitry, and should only be used with a filtered signal. If your receiver does not have digital decoding, you should use the Line-Level Full-Range Inputs ¢ instead. ¢ Line-Level Full-Range Inputs: Connect the line-level subwoofer output or preamp output(s) of your receiver or amplifier to these inputs. If your receiver does not have a separate subwoofer output, use a Y-adaptor (not supplied) to bridge the receiver's preamp output to the main amp input for that channel, and connect the long end of the adaptor to the corresponding line-level input on the SUB-TS12. If your receiver has only a single subwoofer output, you may connect it to either the left or right line-level input on the SUB-TS12, and no Y-adaptor is needed. ∞ Phase Switch: This switch determines whether the SUB-TS12 subwoofer's pistonlike action moves in and out in phase with the main speakers.
