Hey guys, I couldn't find a clear answer on what cable to use to connect the denon receiver to the mlt2 subwoofer. The receiver has a single out and the subwoofer and a red LFE-In (Right in) and a white Left In.


Do I use a standard Dynes Subwoofer cable to connect the receiver out to the LFE In, or do I use a Dynes RCA stereo Y cable to connect the receiver out to the red in and white in.


I also found a cable on amazon by KabelDirekt Pro Series Subwoofer Cable Y RCA cable / Digital Cable, RCA male to 2 x RCA male. That appears to be the same as the other Dynes red/white cable, only much better and more shielded.


Not sure how to proceed....as always thanks for the input and I'll throw the same post on the receiver forum.


Thanks

Ok I answered half....the dynex RCA stereo Y cable with the red and white do not connect into the receiver. That leaves whether a different Y cable, or only one cable is appropriate.

Just go with one rca. I had that subwoofer and loved it!

Ok, does it get plugged into the red (lfe in) or white (left in)

I know that in so doing you run the the risk of having your Man Card revoked, but have you tried looking at the owners manual?

Haha, nice try on the man card, but the owner's manual is a bit lacking in that department. No info from the speaker manual, and the denon manual assumes there will be only one plug in a sub.

^ Per the MLT-2 Owner's Manual (page 10):

"Using an RCA-to-RCA interconnect cable connect the subwoofer using the (LFE) Right input."

Guess I'm confused on what "low level input" is and why they would put 2 inputs. But everything works great with the one cable!


I mounted the speakers with the dynex wall mounts from best buy and appear to be ok-I don't see a weight problem. And following the "don't over tighten" is necessary. I was going to try the videosecu mounts as they hold more weight, but I believe they will stand out farther from the wall.

^ It probably doesn't matter which input you use, but that's what the Owner's Manual recommended.
