Can this be hooked up to a Denon AVR 590? On my receiver I only see a "sub out" port. So any advice would be great.

Most AVR recievers will have at least one sub output also known as LFE or low frequency effects, as one of the other responses stated, that's all you really need to connect the sub. You will want to learn about configuration of subs and your speakers to make sure that your sub handles only the frequencies it is designed to handle and the same with your other speakers. I have my sub handle everything under 80Hz and let my other speakers handle the rest since I run small speakers for everything besides the base.

The sub should have two ports for left and right audio input which you would put the cable from the sub out port outlet on the AVR to either one of the sub inlets or put in a splitter and enter Both ports. I'm not sure if both ports will improve the sub output. Most subs have their own powered alplifier and a low pass filter which separates the low frequency into either the sub or the main speakers. The sub will have to have a power source witch is usually 110 volts.

As a matter of fact, I'm running mine on the sub out connection of a Denon AVR 1613. Just get a nice long RCA - RCA patch cord, and plug the other end into the left channel input on the Klipsch. It will work great, delivering the LFE special effects for movies and the bass notes for music. Set your Denon for "small speakers" so that it will send all of the bass to the Klipsch. Keep it at least a couple of feet away from your left or right channel speaker so that the Klipsch doesn't "double-drive" the mid range speaker cone.

As far as I know you only need a sub out from the receiver to connect. Google the sub and your receiver for complete instructions. That's what I did to figure out how I needed to connect mine.

Yes, on the receiver it's called the subwoofer pre out, it's color coded black.

The receiver has 2 subwoofer outputs. You can use either of them with an RCA cable to plug your subwoofer. I did exactly that with my own. If one day in the future you think you need a second subwoofer, you can use the other Onkyo output to plug it.

Only an optical output. That might plug into your Denon. If not, you can purchase an optical to stereo output device as I did, (DBPOWER Digital Optical Coax to Analog RCA Audio Converter Adapter 24-bit 96 KHz) from about $17. I got this from Amazon of course. Hope that helps...

I love this Onkyo. However, I recently added a Sony BluRay to my system and to get an extra input I connected it via 6 cable 5.1 direct route (You select Onkyo DVD Multi here). But, I don't understand why there is no output from my powered subwoofer. The optical/digi connections work the sub fine.

AVRs are designed to be connected to "powered" subs, so any powered sub can be used.

my sub is starting to get weak for some reason. do you guys know if i can hook up a powered sub to this receiver? im not sure if i can since the sub this came with connects via regular speaker wires (black and red)

Yes the receive will up-convert. Check this out for more information: http://www.laaudiofile.com/denon_avr590.html

I'm also having problems with the sub. It worked initially but now it doesn't. Nothing comes out. I've tried a different cable and different sub so I know its the receiver. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours?

You'll need to buy a digital interface that will accept a Toslink input and output analog connectors that your AV Receiver will accept...unless you AV Receiver has an optical digital (Toslink) input somewhere on the back...which it should if it's not too old. I send the Toslink output to digital interface that converts it to coaxial digital output (bought on Amazon) and then on to a DAC that accepts the coax digital...said DAC then outputs with red and white analog outputs that go to my preamp (AVR for you). Check the back of your AVR and see it there's a optical digital (Toslink) input. Good Luck JM

Exactly. You got it. I'm not sure which Denon reciever you have, but if it's a 5.1 or better,(not a pro logic) it should have a single rca plug labeled as "sub out" or "low signal out". Use a heavy gauge sub cable or rca cable.

If you have a receiver that is 5.2 or 7.2 you can run one RCA cable to the Red and one to the white for the 2 sub outputs. That's what I did.

Hello. you can look at the following link and download the manual denon;http://usa.denon.com/US/Product/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?CatId=2011IncommandReceivers(DenonNA)&PId;=AVR3312CI(DenonNA)

One more thing to Norman Normal, you have not specified which amp you have. If you have a Denon, there is a menu option buried down deep where you can specify multi-channel or two-channel.

There should be a sub line out, mine had a single line out and I had to buy a 2 into 1 RCA adapter to make it work.

I got rid of my Denon receiver but I believe you can. The HDMI has a signal feed back the send audio signal out of the TV over HDMI into the receiver. Most receivers have this feature. If I remember correctly there should be a button on the Denon remote control marked 'TV'. Just press this button and you should here the TV audio over you speakers that are connected to your receiver.

No you can't. You can connect through and audio receiver or surround system. There is no optical coming out of the subwoofer. I have mines hook up through an onkio Receiver

I don't see why it wouldn't as long as your receiver had an optical out or HDMI out, which most do. Seems like overkill though. Aren't you going the soundbar route to save space and cable runs?
