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.
