It looks like that receiver has pre outs that you could connect to the line level input of this sub. But you have to use Y-adapters to do it so that the pre out still connects to the main in.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That receiver probably has both A and B speaker connections on back. You can hook up your main speakers to the A connections, and the sub to the B connections, assuming the sub has line level speaker connections. Alternatively, you can go to the sub's high level inputs from your receiver, and from the sub's high level outputs to your front speakers, using only the A speaker terminals on your receiver.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think that you can bridge the L and R preout with a RCA Y connecter, then out to the sub. Here is a link with more info. http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/using-a-subwoofer-with-a-vintage-receiver.487664/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can hook it up via a subwoofer component cable, it’s a single RCA connected plug
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would not recommend connecting any powered speaker or subwoofer to a receiver that does not have a preamp or subwoofer out. Either use full range speakers with sufficient bass or purchase a new/newer receiver with the appropriate ports.
