Help connecting subwoofer to reveiver (1 Viewer)

[ericp565]

Hello!

I have a subwoofer that is from the Pioneer HTS-GS1 Xbox 360 surround sound home theater in a box. I picked up a new receiver, which is a Yamaha RX-V377. My problem is that the subwoofer does not have a LFE in, nor does it have any other types of inputs one would have to connect to an external receiver. Below are two pictures to hopefully illustrate my point. I've tried connecting the LFE from the receiver to the left and right input on the sub. I've also tried connecting the AV out from the receiver to the AV in on the subwoofer. Is there anything I'm missing here or is this sub just not compatible with an external receiver?

Thank you!

In "theory" you should be able to connect the sub pre out to the analog input on that bass producer(I would not call it a subwoofer*).But, i have a feeling if you do that, the bass producer may not not make any sound, cause it isn't a subwoofer*.*Dont care if Pioneer called it a subwoofer.

A receiver and "sub" in the same enclosure ? The engineers at Pioneer smoking must have been smoking something when they came up with that idea. Get a real sub. Dayton subs from Parts Express are a good value, and start at under $100.00.
