How do I connect a sub to an AV reciever?

[steve_1979]

This is probably a very simple question but I'm very new to this home cinema thing so please bare with me. [🙂]

I've just bought a Yamaha RXV365BL AV Receiver and a Q Acoustics 1010i 5.1 speaker package but I'm not sure what type of cable is needed to connect the sub to the receiver?

Here is a picture of the back of the receiver: http://amazon.bellmktg.com/Yamaha/Re...back_large.jpg

phono cable from the amp to the sub (on you reciver its markked sub output just left of the front ouput binding posts).

Its normally connected to the left line input on the sub something like http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-AV-Subwoofer-double-shielded/dp/B0007YBFB2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1279490625&sr=1-1 . I use this http://www.qed-cable-shop.co.uk/Other+cables/Subwoofer+Cables/Performance+Miniature+Subwoofer.html.

Hope this helps

Steve_1979,

In your case, the Q Acoustics Si sub has a line in, so all you need to do is plug one end of a subwoofer cable to the subwoofer out on your amp and the other end to the subwoofer.
