Interconnect cables
When installing your VA-1250X using the line-level inputs/outputs,
you should use standard shielded phono cables. Always keep the
lines as short as practical to minimize noise.
When using the speaker-level inputs/outputs, use the same quality
speaker cable to your subwoofer as you run to your satellites.
Placement
The VA-1250X operates at very low frequencies which are primarily
omni-directional. While it is recommended that the subwoofer be
placed on the same plane as the satellite speakers, room and
system conditions often dictate otherwise. Ask your dealer for help
in placement.
