How do I connect the Subwoofer? Do I plug the cable wires going from the reciever into the back of the subwoofer?

Yes, then plug your front left and right from the sub-woofer. Sound and sound control is better when connected like this. Cheers

Yes, you need an AV cable to connect your subwoofer to your receiver. An AV cable is the best way to go.

Correction to my previous response. Still plug into L/RFE female plug on subwoofer. Forget the adaptor. It's been a while since I installed mine. You need a subwoofer cable. It is a different size than RCA jack. I am 100% sure this is what you need to do. You can actually order a subwoofer cable on Amazon if you can't find one locally. 7 or 8 dollars.

Subwoofer should connect automatically. If not, I believe there's a connect button on sub.

The previous answers are good. Page 32 of the manual gives a picture of the connections on the back of the receiver. I have a B&W; subwoofer connected without problems.Eric S

I bought a subwoofer cable and it only had one output while the subwoofer itself has two. The receiver has one input for the subwoofer. I've seen a lot of questions about this and it looks like the solution is a Y cable. You may also want to look at some speaker stands. You could make installation easier if you have the stands near your walls.

The Receiver outlet for the subwoofer uses only the subwoofer cable, you can not use bare wires for that. I also realized that sadly. You can get the cable from any electronic store close by or from amazon for less than $10.

Wire on the back, and use the banana plugs in front, for the subwoofer, you need male rca plugs on both sides.

"no" you only have to use the positive red input , in the back of your subwoofer . so if you have a double white & red rca cable ? just use positive output ( red ) out from receiver to red input on subb.!! red to red !! one cable is all you need !!

You need a subwoofer cable. The receiver should have a Subwoofer out that connects directly to subwoofer with the subwoofer cable. Don't buy a Y adapter or cable.

Left and right speakers connect to the subwoofer with wires. I did use 2 extensions to increase the distance with no issues.

This is a wired sub-woofer. I recommend you use a cable that is actually designed for subwoofer use, as I have found that not all coaxial cables work well with subwoofers.

You will need to purchase a cable seperately. It did not come with a subwoofer cable.

You hook up the subs through the read output using the speaker cable that connects to your sub. Plug in is banana plug for amp and 1/2 inch jack for speaker.

John L. Moncrief says: "The receiver works and the subwoofer works with the speaker wire connections."So R u using speaker wire to power the sub, oR R u Using a subwoofer cable, Or are U using both? U need a Sub cable/spdif cable, 1 N the same in name. "So why doesn't the RCA connection work when plugged into the receiver??"If u have the RCA and Speaker wire plugged up 2gether then there will be a prob. U can only power a sub w/A cable. Hope it helps BTW what type of sub are u running?

I don't remember what the back of the unit looks like because the piece of garbage is in it's box up on one of the shelves. If it has 2 jacks on the back and you only have 1 plug on your subwoofer, you may have to find a cable splitter that has 1 input and 2 outputs. You can probably find one where ever electronics assessories are sold and it will not cost very much. If you do purchase another subwoofer, then 1 input will be for the left side and 1 input for the right. At least that's how it is on my Onkyo receiver I purchased to replace the Sony STRDH820 receiver that constantly broke down that Sony claimed nothing was wrong with and could not fix or replace. Good luck with your unit. I still "MAKE BELIEVE" that I did not get ripped off with mine.
