Nowhere in the manual for the DR-110 does it say whether the sub-woofer should be active or passive but, on their website, it says the unit "powers" the 6 speakers. I've connected a SONY passive subwoofer but it doesn't work. Does anybody know if it needs to be active? Thanks
on the rear panel there are 5 speaker terminals - just spring clip type - for the surround spkrs and a seperate subwoofer terminal, labelled "sub out" for an RCA jack.
Been using an RCA jack from the subwoofer, +ve to centre pin, with -ve to outside of jack. The subwoofer is "switched on" in the menu and volume is set way up but nothing coming out (the subwoofer is working - tested on other system). any ideas?hi,

Hi, I
assume that the sub-woofer is "POWERED TYPE" ..otherwise if it is a
PASSIVE type you can not use it as sub but regular speaker..... So,if
it has a power plug for 110 VAC it is "powered type" ..Than you need
to find out the AUDIO output 2xRCA plugs on the back and
connect it to the 1x RCA input of Sub...you need a "Y type RCA cable "
to make 2x stereo output into the 1x MONO input RCA jacks for
sub..you need volume
adjustment once on the sub controls (if it is a Powered ) Take care and if it succeeds please Remember to rate/vote and give me 4 Thumbs Up for Helping out the Community :)..if you need more help please contact me .. Hope this helps!
Sounds like this is a powered subwoofer (as it has a line input). If this is the case, the 'sub W' output of the receiver will NOT work, as it is only sending speaker level to the line input.
You will likely go from sub W directly into the speaker input on the sub. The output is probably used for looping an additional sub into the system.
The connection on the receiver would be the sub woofer out. Not a sub woofer out LFE, a sub woofer out with speaker wire connection. From there you plug it in to the top section of the available terminals on the sub you are referring to (speaker level input). One in positive and the other in negative matching what you did on the receiver with correct ends. The speaker connections underneath the top connections is for additional speakers like surrounds to be able to be connected directly to the sub woofer speaker level out for sound. This of course would be for an older receiver connection. I do not think it is possible to convert this connection to an LFE and have it work properly. If the receiver does not have sub woofer speaker connection and only a RCA out then you can try to connect both rear speaker connections from the receiver to the speaker level inputs on the sub and then connect your rear speakers to the speaker level output on the sub to power them. This is an active sub woofer but for some reason they made it connect as if it was passive. I am not sure if this sub is designed for really low frequencies required for movie or if it is better for music.

You will need an amplifier or 2 channel receiver. Hook the sub out rca jack to the rca inputs on this new amp or receiver and hook the speaker terminals on sub to speaker terminals on same amp or receiver. Your Yamaha receiver doesn't have any power for a passive sub.Just pick up any old fairly high powered receiver for fifty dollars and you're good to go.I use old dolby pro logic receivers as they are a dime a dozen today. Good luck.
It is based on your sub-woofer type..whether powered or passive sub woofer..
Assume that you have powered one..RCA sub woofer jack is the best to feed it ..you should use RCA sub woofer output on your receiver as well..good luck
If sub has two signal outputs and if the monitors are full range (passive crosover built in), put mixer outputs to the sub and signal outputs of the sub to amps in.If not mixer outputs to th amp and its signal outputs to the sub in.Or you can use main out of the mixer for the monitors and rec out for the sub.Its just few XLR or jack cables extra.Just make sure that the mixer,sub and the amp are on the same power phase otherwise you'll have brrrrrrrrrrr on the speakers
