I just got and old surround sound sys(1997). from my father in-law,its been box up for about 6mos.when they took it apart they just pulled wires and boxed it all up and he dose'nt remember how it was hooked up.
this is what I was given.
Onkyo Mod tx-sv636 Receiver,amp,tuner.
JBL music 10 passive sub w/5 satilites.
Infinity Mod. BU-1 powered subwoofer.
I have never hooked up one of these system , but I think I know how I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.I hookup the passive sub to the main(front) L & R speaker terminals out on the receiver then the L & R satilites to out on the sub. Now this is the part I'm not sure of. Do I hook up the rear speaker out (on rec.) to the High levelin on the powered sub and then the rear satilites to the high level out from the sub. There is also pre out RCA connections on the Rec.(Multi source L & R,Front & Rear L & R, 1 black RCA for CTR and 1 black RCA for Sub.) On the powered sub there is also a low level in L & R. Thats why I believe that I am suppose to use the speaker terminals to hook up the powered sub. , or am i suppose to use the pre out connection since its a powered sub.
I guess the real question is can/should I hook up two subs's 1 powered 1 passive. I think they were both hooked up because I don't know how he would have ended up with two sub's.
any help would be appreciated Thanks
