Subwoofer help. Simple question?? how do I connect my Panasonic subwoofer to my denon receiver? My receiver is a Denon AVR-487 http://www.usa.denon.com/AVR-487-OM-E.pdf (page 10) My subwoofer is Panasonic sb-wa930. http://www.fixya.com/support/p231185-panasonic_sc_ht930_system/manual-7718/page-1 long story, I recently lost my subwoofer on my home stereo system. It is going to cost more to fix it then its worth so I am looking to replace it. I have an older subwoofer that I want to use but the cables don?t seem compatible. The hookup I need seems to be just a standard RCA cable to connect the powered subwoofer to the receiver. All of my speakers connect directly to the receiver but this Panasonic subwoofer has the speaker connections there. So my dilemma is finding an adapter. Here is a link to the owners manual that shows what they are calling ?system cable? http://www.fixya.com/support/p231185-panasonic_sc_ht930_system/manual-7718/page-8 it?s a funky rectangular plug with pins like a computer cable. This cable was the only cable on the Panasonic sub that connected it to the old receiver (that I don?t have) So my question is??is there a way to connect this sub to my current receiver? The old unit is sc-ht930 The old sub is sb-wa930 Thanks in advance, Robert Poe
I have a very similar problem with the same exact Panasonic sub. I went to Best Buy and Radio Shack looking for an adapter, and they basically told me that one does not exisit. Apparently, Panasonic designed the home theater system specifcally so that it could not work if any part of the entire system was ever seperated.

I had the same issue when my new sub had only an RCA type speaker terminal input, and the amps sub output was two banana clip types, same as the Denon amp has, I just bought a 4 foot male-end RCA cable, cut off one end, stripped the two wires (the inner/center most wire of the two that has the wrapping around it is the Pos+), I soldered 16 gague speaker wire to each end (the speaker wire with the white stripe I use as positve and so soldered that to the positive wire of the RCA cable), than separated each now connected wire and wrapped each one individually with electrical tape so they can't touch one anther and short out. Took an entire 4 minutes.
