To connect a subwoofer to the Denon AVR-1910:
1. Use a single RCA subwoofer cable. 2. Connect one end of the cable to the “Subwoofer Pre Out” jack on the AVR-1910. 3. Connect the other end to the LFE or Line In input on the active subwoofer. 4. In the AVR-1910 settings, make sure the subwoofer is set to “ON” and configure the crossover frequency (e.g., 80Hz). 5. Set the speaker size to “Small” for channels that should send bass to the subwoofer. 6. Choose LFE or LFE+Main mode depending on whether you want bass from main channels also sent to the subwoofer.
A 1-to-2 RCA Y-adapter is not necessary unless the subwoofer requires both L and R input.
