Q: What is the exact procedure for hooking up a subwoofer? Like team Panasonic says is possible.
A: If you had a sub that has optical pass-through or one that has HDMI pass though, you could do it. The only signal the SoundSlayer passes out is the HDMI signal to a single monitor. So you'd have to run an HDMI cable from your sound source to a sub first and then to the SoundSlayer then to your monitor, or do the same with an optical cable.
