The Sony SS-WS74 subwoofer is designed to be used with specific Sony home theater systems and may not be compatible with standalone Sony receivers. The SS-WS74 subwoofer has a proprietary connector that is typically used to connect it to the matching Sony home theater system.

However, if you have a Sony receiver with an 8-ohm output impedance and standard speaker terminals, you may be able to connect the subwoofer using an adapter or by rewiring the subwoofer's connection.

Keep in mind that the SS-WS74 subwoofer is a passive subwoofer, which means it doesn't have its own built-in amplifier. It relies on the amplifier or receiver to power it. So, you'll need to ensure that your Sony receiver has a dedicated subwoofer output or a set of speaker terminals that can be configured to power a passive subwoofer.

To connect the subwoofer, you would typically use the subwoofer output (often labeled as "Sub Out" or "LFE Out") on the receiver. If your receiver doesn't have a dedicated subwoofer output, you can connect the subwoofer to the speaker terminals by using a speaker wire and connecting it to the corresponding speaker terminals on the receiver.

However, please note that the SS-WS74 subwoofer's compatibility with your specific Sony receiver may vary. It's always recommended to consult the user manual of both the subwoofer and the receiver or contact Sony customer support for detailed compatibility information and guidance on connecting the subwoofer to your receiver.
