 (pages 5-6) when you want to output the low frequency signals

• All connections must be correct, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”.  Also, refer to the 

owner’s manual of your component to be connected to the subwoofer.

• After all connections are completed, plug in the subwoofer and other audio/video components.

• To connect with a YAMAHA DSP amplifier (or AV receiver), connect the SUBWOOFER (or LOW PASS etc.) 

terminal on the rear of the DSP amplifier (or AV receiver) to the 

/MONO INPUT 2 terminal of the subwoofer.

• When connecting the subwoofer to the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals on the rear of the DSP amplifier, be sure to 

connect the 

/MONO INPUT2 terminal to the “L” side and the 

 INPUT 2 terminal to the “R” side of the SPLIT 

SUBWOOFER terminals.

• Some amplifiers have line output terminals labeled PRE OUT. When you connect the subwoofer to the PRE OUT 

terminals of the amplifier, make sure that the amplifier has at least two sets of PRE OUT terminals. If the amplifier has 
only one set of PRE OUT terminals, do not connect the subwoofer to the PRE OUT terminals. Instead, connect the 
subwoofer to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier. (Refer to pages 5-6.)

• When connecting to a monaural line output terminal of the amplifier, connect the 

/MONO INPUT2 terminal.

• When connecting 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.
