How to Connect a Subwoofer to a Yamaha Receiver

  1. Place the subwoofer in the room where it won’t be in the way, but at least four inches from the wall.

Can I connect subwoofer to receiver?

If you are using your subwoofer with a home theater receiver, the connection is simple: Just run an audio interconnect cable like this one from the receiver’s subwoofer output to the subwoofer’s line input (pictured above). If the subwoofer has an input labeled LFE, use that one.

What do I need to know about the Yamaha rx-v471?

The RX-V471 also offers basic CEC control, allowing you to operate HDMI-linked kit via the RX-V471’s remote. As is de rigueur, the RX-V471 comes with an auto-calibration system.

Which is better Bose Acoustimass or Yamaha?

I personally prefer bose acoustimass 10 series V system (5.1 channel) as I have tested it with Yamaha RX-V383 and I really like the deep and notable base but I disappoint the dialogue and vocal level which are not that clear at all. So I want to switch my AV receiver to Yamaha RX-V681 or RX-V583 as they both have the below functions.

How big of a room do you need for a Bose Acoustimass?

Keep in mind that the system is in a room 10ft x 20ft with the system on the 20ft wall playing into the 10ft space. That means the seating distance is likely to be about ~8ft. Playing into a 10ft space does not require a 12″ bass driver.
