How do i connect my subwoofer to my home theater

Use a subwoofer cable from the back of the Onkyo (it's labeled "SUBWOOFER OUT") to the subwoofers Input jack. It's an RCA style connector and can be bought at any electronics store or online.

Hi,

How to Connect 2 Subwoofers to One Receiver

Subwoofers produce the deep bass sounds that give home theater the realism of being at the movies. A good subwoofer can rattle the walls during action sequences, while adding depth to recorded music and a heightened sense of feeling in the midst of a televised sporting event. Because most home theater receivers are equipped with a single subwoofer jack, connecting a second subwoofer requires a simple audio adapter available at electronics stores. Self-powered subwoofers have their own built-in amplifiers to drive the bass speakers, so they cannot drain power on the main receiver in a system and thus pose no danger to the equipment, even when an extra subwoofer is connected.

Things You'll Need:

Home theater receiver
Y-adapter with RCA jacks on two ends and an RCA plug on the other, available at electronics stores.
2 RCA subwoofer cables
2 subwoofers


Instructions


Plug the Y-adapter into the home theater receiver's "Subwoofer OUT" jack.


Connect an RCA subwoofer cable to each jack on the Y adapter and route the cables to the subwoofers in the room. Because subwoofers deliver an omnidirectional sound, the boxes can be placed anywhere they won't get in the way, but within reach of an electrical outlet..


Plug an RCA cable into the "Sub IN" jack on the back of each subwoofer.


Connect the subwoofers to wall outlets and turn on each unit by pressing the power button, typically located on the back panel.


Adjust the volume and crossover settings on each subwoofer as desired. The crossover adjustment knob tells the subwppfer which low-end frequencies to reproduce from the audio signal, such as a movie on DVD. All frequencies higher than the crossover setting will be transferred to the other speakers connected to the receiver.



Tips & Warnings

Use subwoofers that are closely matched in power, as rated in watts, when using two subwoofers in a home theater setup.

Disconnect the subwoofers from the power supply while making the audio connections.


Have a nice day...

I hope I understand you correctly.

As you can probably tell from the very different connector types on the subwoofer and the HTS, they don't match up. That speaker system and this electronics are not meant to be used together.

The SC-BT200 uses passive subwoofer while the SB-WA342 is an active (powered) subwoofer.

I'm not sure what you mean by "connecting the Subwoofer connection to my Panasonic Home Theater System"

If you want to watch something on the Philips and send the audio to your Panasonic Home Theater you can buy a VGA to AV Adapter Cable. Just connect it to the back of the Philips HTS3450, get an AV cable (red,white,yellow) and run it to the Panasonic.

I recommend buying it here: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=212966742

It will work just fine.

the rca subwoofer jack is not a speaker level output, it is a line level output which is made to work with a POWERED subwoofer

You will require a Line level converter... usually reserved for car audio applications - but it should work in yours as well.

It converts the speaker wires to RCAs.
There are ones made for home audio - but harder to find and a little pricier.

on any home theater that is just for consumer use, unless you live in a VERY large house, only one sub should be necessary. using two could cause the amp to overheat and fry

hi,
connect satelite speakers to the amplifier and connect signal cable (RC pin) to the woofer from amplifer ie subwoofer out from amp. ok na.
