How to connect pioneer reviever to velodyne subwoofer

I own 2 of these Pioneer VSX-D903S units.

The only way to hook a powered subwoofer up to a VSX-D903S is if your subwoofer is equipped with amplified/speaker level terminals on the back, in addition to the line-level input. If you only have a line-level input, do not attempt to hook it up to this receiver.

If you're lucky, and have speaker-level inputs on your powered subwoofer, you would use the amplified terminals (connect to B-channel on the receiver). DO NOT connect anything to the line-level connection.

Alternatively, you could build two unpowered subwoofers, then set the receiver's Impedance switch to LOW, then connect one enclosure to each of the "B-channel" outputs. Connect your regular left and right speakers to their corresponding "A-channel" outputs. [Impedance range: 4 Ohm minimum, 16 Ohm Maximum]

Hissing? How loud? A sub isn't even capable of making high frequency sounds at normal volumes.

The Pioneer manual would tell you how to enable and test the subwoofer output.
Page 17 and the MACCV procedures on Page 33 (auto) or 43 (manual)

Hi there, the Pioneer VSX-815 amplifier only feeds out a mono LINE LEVEL output with the subwoofer signal. Therefore you would need to connect the SUB PREOUT jack at the rear of the unit to the "line level input" on a self-powered subwoofer. Hope this helps.. Cheers, Yusuf

You need to instruct the receiver that it has a subwoofer and then tell it if it should share the bass with other speakers. Read the manuals for both the receiver and the subwoofer. AVR's take some setting up. Subwoofers are never assumed to be installed.

In the manual that was included with the unit, it covers the basics of this question.

It really is up to you and how you want the sub to work with your mains.

Try one setting and adjust to find what you like.

Try setting the speaker settings on the receiver to small.

I assume you have the user manual for it.

Just a thought but are you sure the speaker connecters on the back or the reciever are gripping the inner wire and not the plastic covering on the leads. Sounds daft I know but I have seen it before.

All you have to do is connect the coaxial out from pc to any audio i/p at the back of vsx d512.but ensure you select the right channel to play the audio ( eg. tape i/p select tape at front control, aux i/p select the aux at front control )
