Hi guys,

I've just bought this Pioneer receiver,

and have been trying unsuccessfully to connect the Logitech x-540 speakers to it

> I have connected the speakers to the Logitech subwoofer, then connected that to the subwoofer pre-out on the back of the receiver and have no sound output, any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your help and comments.

Hi, you do not need to hook up the X-540 to a receiver, but if you are using it for switchin purposes, try connecting the 

system to the red and white RCA audio output on the rear bottom of the receiver.

I had a question, if I use this method and connect my subwoofer to a receiver will I be able to control it wirelessly with the receiver's remote?  My remote died so I'm looking for a way to salvage my system.

What do you mean I do not need to hook them up directly to the reciever? In order to set up the reciever it says I need the microphone to set it up aka I have to hear them. Do I go get the RC adapter? Thnx
