Connecting the subwoofer  
to your system  
The SFX5.1 system subwoofer may be connected in  
any one of the following ways:  
Line levels  
Using the subwoofer output on your A/V receiver or  
decoder connect a single RCA interconnect to either  
the left or right line input on the subwoofer rear  
panel. This is the ideal connection type as the sub  
woofer output contains the low frequency  
information from all channels.  
High levels  
If no subwoofer or spare line outputs exist you may  
connect using a Y-split connector on the main pre  
amplifier output connections. Use a Y-split on both  
right and left outputs and connect these via an RCA  
interconnect to the left and right inputs on the  
subwoofer rear panel.  
Alternatively, if your preamplifier has a spare set of  
line level outputs, connect left and right to the SFX  
subwoofer L and R inputs using screened cable.  
Use your amplifier's speaker out terminals.  
To accommodate the connection of two sets of  
cables, red (+) goes to red (+), and black (-) to  
black (-), twist wires together and connect to the  
amplifier terminals.  
Alternatively use the 'A & B' speaker outputs on the  
amplifier if provided - A to your main speakers and B  
to the SFX subwoofer. Do this using a length of  
speaker cable for each channel, wire your amplifier  
outputs to the HIGH LEVEL input terminals, on the  
subwoofer amplifier panel. Ensure there are no  
stray wire strands that could possibly short together  
and damage both the amplifier and subwoofer.  
Warnings  
Double-check all connections before switching on  
the SFX system and your amplifier.  
Ensure that the polarity of the speaker cables from  
your amplifier to the subwoofer is correct - failure to  
observe this will result in damage to your amplifier.  
When using the HIGH LEVEL inputs, ensure  
that your amplifier is not configured in bridge mode;  
damage could result to either the amplifier or the  
subwoofer. If in doubt consult your dealer.  
 
Setting up  
Ensure the POWER switch is in the OFF position. You  
can operate the SFX subwoofer in two modes, AUTO  
and ON. Set to AUTO, the unit remains switched off until  
a signal is present (power saving), set to ON the unit  
runs continuously. Connect the SFX subwoofer to a con-  
venient mains socket using the lead and plug supplied.  
Positioning  
As the SFX subwoofer produces low frequencies only,  
it is difficult to detect its location by ear. It can therefore  
be placed anywhere in the room, but optimum perform-  
ance will be gained by locating the subwoofer between  
the front pair of speakers. Bass output will increase  
next to a wall or especially in a corner; so use the  
volume control to compensate if moving your sub-  
woofer around.  
Set the SFX subwoofer VOLUME to MIN, PHASE  
SWITCH to 0°, CROSSOVER to AV/LFE. Set your 5.1  
or 6.1 receiver/decoder to SMALL SPEAKERS, LFE or  
SUB output to ON and play a favourite disc. Switch the  
SFX subwoofer to ON and set the VOLUME to AV/LFE.  
Assess the bass signal strength and adjust VOLUME  
accordingly. The purpose of a subwoofer is to enhance  
the bass or low frequencies but not to overpower the  
music or film dialogue. Set up can be checked by using  
the noise signal calibration facility in most 5.1 or 6.1  
receivers/decoders.  
Auto power/Sleep functions  
The SFX subwoofer can be left permanently on in  
AUTO mode, under which conditions it will revert to  
'sleep' mode after approximately 20 minutes. If not  
using your subwoofer for some time, switch off and  
remove the power cable from the mains outlet.  
Power requirements  
Check that the voltage rating displayed on the rear  
panel is correct for your area before connecting. If it is  
incorrect, move the voltage selector on the rear panel  
to the appropriate voltage. The panel mounted fuse  
should also be changed to the correct rating (see  
below, under FUSE PROTECTION). If in any doubt,  
consult your Dealer or Authorised Service Agent.
