Setting Up
Connecting the Acoustimass
®
module to the receiver
The 20-foot (6.1m) system input cable connects the module to your surround receiver (see
Figure 6). The system input cable has a multi-pin connector on one end and several wire pairs
on the other. The wire pairs of the cable may be separated or “unzipped” as much as needed
to comfortably reach the surround receiver connections. Each wire pair is marked on the
cable jacket with
RIGHT
,
LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT SURROUND, LEFT SURROUND, or
CENTER SURROUND to indicate where each wire connects to the receiver.
CAUTION: Before making any connections turn off your receiver and unplug it from the AC
(mains) outlet. Not doing so may result in damage to your system.
CAUTION: Do not connect the powered Acoustimass module directly to your TV unless it
provides surround decoding circuitry and amplified outputs for all channels.
1. Insert the multi-pin connector on the system input cable into the input jack on the Acous-
timass module. Tighten the two thumbscrews to assure a secure connection.
2. Connect each wire pair on the other end of the system input cable to your surround
receiver. Carefully match the polarity of the connections (+ to + and – to –).
• Attach each marked wire (+) to the appropriate + terminal.
• Attach each plain wire (–) to the appropriate – terminal.
Note: The RCA plug of the system input cable comes with a cover installed. Remove
this cover for connection to the LFE/SUBWOOFER OUT jack. If your receiver has no
LFE/SUBWOOFER OUT jack, leave the plug cover in place.
3. If applicable, connect the RCA plug marked LFE on the system input cable to the
LFE/SUBWOOFER OUT jack on your surround receiver.
CAUTION: Do not allow exposed wires to brush against each other; this could damage your
receiver.
