PSW10 config question

[laeva65]

I just got a Polk PSW10 to go with my new Harman Kardon AVR 435 receiver and Infinity Primus 150 speakers. My question is this: There is a single subwoofer output on the back of the AVR 435,
(http://www.harmankardon.com/product_support/support_detail.aspx?Region=USA&Country=US&Language=ENG&cat=&prod=AVR%20435&sjump=qs&#active)

and on the back of the Polk PSW10 there is.... well, there are two RCA inputs, Line Ins marked L and R. There is no LFE input as illustrated in the manual.

So, how do I connect? A single output plug from the receiver to the 2 Line In plugs on the subwoofer seems logical. Is that correct?

Or, if not, how?

Thanks for the help.

Hi, first yes there is an omission in our manual. The PSW10 manual was written for both itself and the PSW12. The PSW12 has the yellow LFE input, while the 10 does not and we neglected to mention that in the manual.

If you have our PSW10 or PSW202, you have "line in" inputs that has a red right and white left input. If you have a single RCA "sub out" from your receiver, you can still use this jack by hooking that single RCA cable to either the L or R input, it really does not matter as they both get summed together anyway. The use of a "Y" splitter is optional. Then, you want to turn the "low pass" knob on the subwoofer to as high as it will go clockwise. Why is this? The single sub out on most receivers already have a filtered signal coming out of it. The subwoofer also has a filter. We want to get the subwoofer's filter as far away from the receiver's filtered signal as possible, so we turn that knob to as high as it will go.

Eric: Your explanation of the hookup is clear and even I should be able to do it right.

So that should take care of it. This is a really good service that your company provides. It makes a first time customer much more likely to return.
