Here is an excerpt from the KEF website; "Connect all speakers to amplifier/receiver & set up as "SMALL" speakers in bass management menu. Select subwoofer on or "bass out" to "SUBWOOFER" not "MAIN" or "BOTH". Connect the subwoofer output on AV amp/receiver to the left low level input on subwoofer using a commercially available low level cable. Set crossover on subwoofer to maximum as the AV amp will send all relevant frequencies from speakers and LFE to the sub out jack" http://www.kef.com/KHT/KHT1005/setup.htm# click on "WIRING DIAGRAM" cheers |

Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithRimouski, Quebec Canada Post Number: 1220 Registered: Feb-04 | I was wondering the same thing. I think he means: There's one LFE output jack on the receiver but two jacks on the sub. You connect to the left side on the sub. You have a cable pair (R+L) to do it with, and you can use either side. |
