PSWi8M Subwoofer to Mitsubishi LT055164 TV

rshasky

I'm a novice. I asked the Ultimate Electronics Sales person to pick out a compatible wireless subwoofer for my new Mitsubishi LT055164TV, which has a single LFE subwoofer pre-out. He presented the POLK Audio PSWi-8M subwoofer in a box, so I bought it.

I need help because the TV only has a single LFE subwoofer pre-out jack and the PSWi-8M only has 2 RCA input jacks and no LFE input jack. How am I suppose to hook this up? And will I still get the kind of performance and sound that I'm suppose to? In addition there is a phase switch for either 0 degrees or 180 degrees. What am I suppose to do with that?:redface:

Just run a cable from the TV's LFE output to one of the two inputs on the subwoofer. It doesn't matter which one. If you'd prefer, you can also use a one female to two male Y-adapter to connect it to both inputs...but there should be no difference between the two connection methods. You'll still get the same performance you would if the sub had a dedicated LFE input.
