How do I connect my subwoofer to the receiver??? |
|
|
This should be a pretty easy problem to solve compared to most issues
that posters are dealing with:
I'm in the middle of connecting my mostly new home theater system and
cannot figure out how to connect the sub to the receiver.
The Yamaha receiver (HTR-5760) has two jacks labelled "subwoofer".
One is the the section labelled "Multi-Channel Input" and the other in
section "Pre Out".
The sub (Klipsch KSW12) has all kinds of connections that don't seem
to match up with the receiver jacks - unless I REALLY don't understand
what is going on here. The sub has 2 pair of red/black screw-down
connections labelled "Speaker In". There is another connection (2
jacks) in the "Line In" section labelled "R" and "L/LFE".
What do I need to do??
Reading the manuals for both components wasn't much help.
Hopefully someone out there can help me or I will have to wait until
Monday to call the store, Yamaha, or Klipsch. And, of course, I am
very anxious to turn this system on!
Thanks for any help,
Bob Henninger

Connect the one in the PRE OUT section to the LFE input on the sub.

and then make sure u turn the volume up. oh and one more thing. on your
yamaha reciever u have to tell it "Subwoofer... YES". it comes out of the
box as the sub is turned off. be carefull. it might be that easy.
if u just got that sub, id consider returning it and getting the Klipsch
RW-12. the KSW is the lower end "synergy" series Klipsch offers. The
Reference line RW-12 u can probably get for a comporable price and it is a
much nicer piece.

===========================
Pre-Out (subwoofer) is preferred method.

Use the L/LFE input on the sub.

Thanks guys,
I bought a new cable and a "Y" to connect to the R and LFE and it
sounds great.
Appreciate the help.
