[. . . ] Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. [. . . ] double check all connections for correct polarity. Strip 1/2" (12mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors on both ends to expose the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of each conductor to form two un-frayed strands. Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver to the speaker level inputs of the powered subwoofer using speaker wire. Then, connect the left and right front speakers using speaker wire from the speaker level outputs from the powered subwoofer. Connect the Center Channel Speaker directly to the center channel output from your receiver. Hookup Option 3 Note: Diagram shows wiring only, not speaker position. OPTION #3-- Receivers with full-range (unfiltered) Left and Right "Pre Out" jacks (this is the least commonly used hookup). Connect the left and right preamp output from your receiver to the left and right LINE input of the subwoofer. When using method #3, it is necessary to adjust the settings on your receiver as follows: · We recommend the following settings as starting points, but the settings that are best for you depend upon your speaker placement, electronics and personal taste. After you've become familiar with what the settings do, experiment with alternate options to find the method that works best for your system setup. Note: When you set up your subwoofer for the first time, you will probably have to make adjustments several times before you hear what you personally like. AC POWER CONNECTION AND AUTO ON/OFF Your subwoofer features auto on/off circuitry, marked "auto" on the power switch, which automatically turns your subwoofer on when it senses a program signal. We recommend the "auto" setting if your subwoofer is always receiving power (ie, if it's plugged into a wall outlet). When no signal is present, the circuit turns the subwoofer off after 15 minutes. If you are concerned about the brief delay between when the music starts and when the subwoofer turns on, simply leave your subwoofer in the "On" position. You may want to leave your system unplugged during extended periods of non use, such as during a vacation. Adjust for deep, powerful bass without "boominess. " · Low Pass--NOTE: This control should be turned all the way up when the subwoofer is connected with Method #1 (LINE IN). This control adjusts the frequency range over which the subwoofer operates. If male vocals sound "thin, " turn this control up until the voice sounds rich but not "boomy. " If male vocals sound too "thick" or "chesty, " turn this control down until the voice sounds natural.
