Connect A Powered Subwoofer To A Receiver

The subwoofer output jack on the back of the receiver accommodates a standard 1/4-inch plug.


A powered subwoofer pumps out low-frequency bass tones in home theater. With a built-in amplifier, the subwoofer reverberates in a room to create a more realistic sensation of action than stand-alone speakers can provide. The subwoofer plugs into an audio-video receiver with a heavy-duty sub cable available at stereo stores. The simple connections involves a 1/4-inch audio plug on each end of the cable. Because the subwoofer contains its own amplifier it draws no power from the receiver.


Instructions


1. Place the subwoofer on the floor near but not directly against the wall, which can absorb sound and vibrations crucial to the sonic experience of low-frequency effects.


2. Insert the plug on one end of the subwoofer cable in the input jack on the back control panel of the speaker.


3. Connect the plug on the other end to the "Subwoofer Out" jack on the connection panel on the back of the receiver.


4. Plug in the subwoofer's power cord to an electrical receptacle.


5. Turn on the power button for the subwoofer and set the volume control on the back of the cabinet to personal preference.
