REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS  5

 Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB) Input: Con-
nect 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-TS11’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 out-
put(s) of your receiver or amplifier to these
inputs. If your receiver does not have a separate
subwoofer output, use a Y-adapter (not supplied)
to bridge the receiver’s preamp output to the
main amp input for that channel, and connect
the long end of the adapter to the correspon-
ding line-level input on the SUB-TS11. 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-TS11, and no Y-adapter is
needed.

 Speaker-Level Outputs: If you are using
the Speaker-Level Inputs

 on the 

SUB-TS11, you should connect these binding-
post terminals to your front left and right speak-
ers, remembering to maintain polarity by con-
necting the (+) terminal on the SUB-TS11 sub-
woofer to the (+) terminal on the speaker, and
the (–) terminal on the SUB-TS11 subwoofer to
the (–) terminal on the speaker. If you are not
using the Speaker-Level Inputs

, then con-

nect your front left and right speakers directly to
your receiver or amplifier. See pages 9 through
12 for further information on speaker connec-
tions.

 Speaker-Level Inputs: Connect these
binding-post terminals to the main left and right
speaker terminals of your receiver or amplifier, if
your receiver or amplifier does not have a line-
level subwoofer output. Remember to maintain
polarity by connecting the (+) terminal on the
receiver/amplifier to the (+) terminal on the
SUB-TS11 subwoofer, and the (–) terminal on
the receiver/amplifier to the (–) terminal on the
SUB-TS11 subwoofer.

 Master Power Switch: Place this switch in
the “•” position to power-on the SUB-TS11
subwoofer. The SUB-TS11 will then be either in
the Standby mode or completely on, depending
on the position of the Music-Sense On/Off
Switch

.

 AC Power Cord: Make sure to plug this 
cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet
for proper operation of the SUB-TS11.
The cord should not be plugged into the
accessory outlets found on some audio
components.
