Subwoofer Power Connectivity

Rick Masseur New member Username: Rickmasseur Roswell, Ge US Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Sunday, March 05, 2006 - 15:39 GMT I have a Sony STR DE898B receiver and an Infinity TSS-450 speaker system. The instructions for the subwoofer say not to plug its a/c cord into the receiver's power outlet. This is something I have done for many years. So why not? It is a switched power supply, so everything should be okay, right?

That switched power supply port is meant for lower power consuming items such as a DVD player. Anyway does the subwoofer not shut itself down automatically?
