I'm trying to hook up the Polk SurroundBar 360 directly to my receiver without the dvd system (which I don't have).
Does anyone know if the SurroundBar 360 just accepts the line-level speaker signals directly out of a receiver or if it is some digital signal?
So far I ohmed out the pinouts and got the following results (single 8-pin connector):
Pin 1-2: 1.2 ohms
Pin 3-4: ~8 ohms
Pin 5-6: ~8 ohms
Pin 7-8: ~8 ohms
And all other measurements are open circuit (i.e. between Pin 1-4 or 1-7)
So I'm guessing the pin-pairs 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 are 8-ohm speaker connections (left, center, right)? I don't have a clue what Pins 1-2 are for.
Can anyone shed some light?
Update:
Speaker Layout: 8 speakers, 4 on each side.
