I recenlty bought this Receiver to replace my 10 yr old Pioneer. How do I connect my sub woofer? I've have exposed wires for all speakers.

There is a pair of sub woofer pins next to the other speaker (red & black) pins on the back of the receiver.

The Receiver outlet for the subwoofer uses only the subwoofer cable, you can not use bare wires for that. I also realized that sadly. You can get the cable from any electronic store close by or from amazon for less than $10.

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.

The only things I could think of are your center channel is blown (you can check this by hooking it up to a different receiver), your center channel output on your receiver has some sort of issue (you can check this by hooking a different center speaker into your receiver). If neither of these are your problem then odds are it is a problem with your receivers settings. Turn on your receiver and play a DVD or blu ray, next push the "setup" button on your receiver remote, it should say "speaker setup", push the "right arrow" button and it should now say "Config", push the "right arrow" button again and you are now in the speaker configuration area. Push the "up arrow" until you are on "Center", make sure it is not set to "None", try setting it to "small". Push the "up arrow" again until you are at "Front" and try setting them to "small". You can continue pushing the "up arrow" to configure all your speakers, make sure Subwoofer says "None" if you do not have one as that can cause issues. Good luck getting your center speaker working.

sounds to me like its defective. I have owned many different receivers throughout the years, and never had that issue. Make sure you don't have any crossed/ touching bare speaker wires also. That can make it reset as a safety feature

I would go to bicamerica.com and go to the Contact Us page, then email or call them. You should be able to use one of the other speaker outs on the receiver (center rear perhaps) to one of the speaker inputs on the subwoofer. I recommend using 14ga or larger (smaller gauge number, i.e. 10ga) wire to run the sub though as you will hear substantially greater volume and clarity with a heavier wire especially for a subwoofer. Good luck.

I bought the Pioneer Andrew jones designed SP--PK52FS speakers system with the powered subwoofer to match. Al speakers are very bid and work very well with this receiver. Remember the sub woofer has its own power supply. You have full control of everything regarding what the speakers do and don't have to worry about any " automatic" strange stuff happenning

Juan is correct. Your subwoofer is probably unpowered, unless it has its own power cord. This receiver port that this connecter uses does not power the subwoofer, so you will not hear the signal through the speaker.

I asked Energy customer service about this. They said connect to the LEFT input of the sub only. They were very adamant that it would not degrade the sound. They explained that the Left/Right inputs are there for some (older?) receivers that have split Left/Right outputs for the subwoofer. I was going to by a Y adapter, but they convinced me there was absolutely no need.

Dear Bill, Thanks for the info. I didn't connect the wire's directly but I guess it amounts to the same thing. The left and right front speakers are attached to STR-DH800 posts. I connected separate the speaker wires from the left and right front speakers posts to the left and right posts of the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a part of a Paradigm Cinema 70 set. It has its own power plug, an on/off switch and an RCA input The subwoofer hums when the RCA is plugged into it and I touch the unplugged end. Sincerely, John

Check the rear of the receiver. If there is an RCA connector marked "sub out" or "lfe out" or similar, it will work just fine. It will probably be yellow in color. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't such a connector on any modern receiver.

You don't connect the speakers to the sub. The sub and the rest of the speakers connect to your receiver.

Here is the answer that I got from Pioneer... it worked!Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.Change the Subwoofer setting under SYSTEM SETTING>MANUAL SPEAKER SETTING>SPEAKER SET>FRONT SPEAKER TO LARGE, once the front speaker are set to large you can change the SW to PLUS, that will allow the subwoofer to be active with the stereo signal.

Sorry, I never hooked a sub woofer to mine so I cant give you any advice on that.Cal

Interesting scenario. The only I can think of is to split the connection since you probably only have one center channel speaker output on your receiver. The other thing you can do is use your rear center channel connection if your receiver has it.

The receiver you have indicated has all the speaker connections to accomodate the speakers you mention. The speaker wire which comes with the set is pretty pathetic, so I would suggest investing in a spool of 16 ga wire, 50-100 feet depending on your needs. The wire for the subwoofer is on the smallish side, but it seems to work OK.

Make sure you plug in both wires. Does not really matter worked fine with my Pioneer Reciver.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE ASKING!!! I USED REGULAR SPEAKER WIRE TO CONNECT TO FIVE EXTERNAL SURROUND SPEAKERS. THE SPEAKER WIRES WERE CONNECTED TO THE PROPER pioneer audio outputs on the back of the amplifier. The subwoofer came wit a single output cable that plugged into the back of the pioneer specifically marked for the subwoofer. Hope this helps.
