The Line In Is Out On My Jensen Js800 How Else Can I Hook It Up?

IMPORTANT - When you make connections, make sure that the power switches of all components, including the Subwoofer, are OFF.

• Speaker wire: Typical speaker wire has a pair of separate conductors with insulating jackets that are molded together. We recommend that you use 16-gauge speaker wire for hooking your Receiver to your Front speakers. To make connections to the Subwoofer in parallel with the Front speakers easier, the speaker wire connecting the Receiver to the Subwoofer can be smaller (higher gauge number), since the Subwoofer does not draw large amounts of power through these wires.
• Polarity: All speakers in a system must be connected with the same polarity. Speaker wire is marked for polarity so that you can identify which wire in the pair is which. Polarity is shown by a color stripe on the insulation, by ridges molded into the insulation, or by the colors of the wires - one copper and one silver. Strip the insulation from speaker wire ends to reveal the bare conductors before connecting to Receiver, Subwoofer or Speaker terminals.

IMPORTANT - Always connect the red (+) terminal on the Receiver to the red (+) terminal on the Subwoofer, and the black (-) terminal on the Receiver to the black (-) terminal on the Subwoofer. The same is true for hooking the Receiver outputs to the Front speakers: red (+) to red (+), and black (-) to black (-). Important: Use Option 1 or Option 2, not both.

OPTION 1. Connection with speaker wire: Connect speaker wires from the Receiver's front left and right speaker outputs to the Subwoofer's Speaker Level-In connections. Connect left channel to left input and right channel to right input. You have the option of connecting your main speakers to the speaker B outputs on your Receiver, if it is so equipped, or you also have the option of connecting your main speakers using the connections on the Subwoofer. This will pass the audio signal to your main speakers, except the low bass which will be produced by your Subwoofer. To use this connection option, connect your main speakers to the right and left outputs on the Subwoofer (see illustration 1). Be sure you take care to maintain proper signal polarity, red to red and black to black.

OPTION 2. Connection with audio cable: This connection uses a low level mono sub signal. This is usually found on receivers equipped with Dolby® Digital decoding. Locate the subwoofer output on the back of you receiver. Using a standard RCA cable connect the subwoofer output on the back of your receiver to the Line-In on the back of the subwoofer.
