 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.)

4 Play any source and adjust the amplifier’s volume control to the desired listening level.
5 Adjust the HIGH CUT control according to the main speakers connected.
Normally, set the control to the main speaker’s rated minimum reproducible frequency*. If the desired response
cannot be obtained, adjust the control again to your preference.
* The main speaker’s rated minimum reproducible frequency can be looked up in the speakers’ catalog or
owner’s manual.
6 Turn up the VOLUME control gradually to adjust the volume balance between this unit and the
main speakers.
Normally, set the control to the level where you can obtain a little more bass effect than when this unit is not used.
If the desired response cannot be obtained, adjust the control again to your preference.
7 Set the PHASE switch to the position which gives you the better bass sound.
Normally, set the switch to the REV (reverse) position. If the desired response cannot be obtained, set the switch
to the NOM (normal) position.

Once the volume balance between this unit and the main speakers is adjusted, you can adjust the volume of your
whole sound system by using only the amplifier’s volume control.
