After connected a Y wire from Black of my AV receiver to (white-Red) Subwoofer, NO sound at all. I have been suggested to install a Line level converter. Anybody knows which kind of Line level converter 2 channel or 4 channles? And The wires (white and red) to Subwoofer but what about all those wires from Converter...where to Hook them up? In my YAMAHA AV I have a sigle black OUT Subwoofer??? Confused Please Help
Firstly, and definitely, your "black" is subwoofer line out.
Check your AV receiver if the subwoofer option is activated. I've known some receivers that have the option to disable subwoofers and push all the bass into their front speakers.
Next, you have to check if your subwoofer is on or off? what about the volume of the sub?
If your subwoofer is passive, which means it does not require powering up using the mains, then you will have to get a seperate amplifier to power the sub up.
SOURCE: subwoofer
Most AV receivers do not have a built in amplifier block to drive a subwoofer, and merely provide the subwoofer output channel at line voltage. Thus, a powered subwoofer is required. Does the subwoofer require mains power? From your description, I'm guessing it doesn't. If not, it does not have a buit in amplifier, you will need to purchase a monoblock amplifier, which is just a mono amplifier with a volume control, no tone controls or anything else. Make sure that the amplifier power rating is as close as possible to the subwoofer power rating, as it is quite possible to blow a speaker by using an amplifier whose power output is too low, by overdriving the amplifier , and putting DC through the voice coil when the amplifier clips. If it does require mains power, it will have an amplifier built in, but does not have line level inputs.

SOURCE: 8 wires on my subwoofer??
"One has positive and negative input, another positive and negative output (red and black on each)"
Just from your description, it sounds like pos/neg input are the 12 volt pos neg supply for the amp inside the subwoofer. Red is pos, black is neg.
"positive and negative output (red and black on each)"
This sounds like it's used if you want to proved 12 volt pos/neg to another component.
"and a third wire with left input right input positive and negative (blue, red, yellow and black)"
This is for the cables coming from the "subwoofer out" on the amp. This is 4 wires altogether -- correct?

HI,
I TOO HAVE BOUGHT THE AV11K. I TOTALLY HATE IT. ITS LIKE ITS BEEN CO-DESIGNED BY THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY AND THE PLAYER AND WOOFER/AMP DONT FIT TOGETHER.
ID LIKE TO SAY THIS THING IS SO POORLY DESIGNED IT REALLY WOULD BE WORTH SENDING IT BACK FOR A REFUND.
ON THE BACK OF THE PLAYER, AND THE WOOFER YOU'LL FIND LETTERS. IE LF,LB,,,,RF, RB. (LEFT FRONT , LEFT BACK ECT). USING THE 'TULIP CABLES SUPPLIED YOU NEED TO CONNECT THE WOOFER AND THE PLAYER TOGETHER MAKING SURE THE LETTERS CORRESPOND.
DO THIS FOR ALL THE CONECTIONS ON BOTH THE PLAYER AND THE WOOFER. THERE SHOULD BE NON LEFT OVER.
THE LETTERS CORROSPOND THE THE POSSITION OF THE SPEAKER IN THE ROOM. SO ( I ADVISE YOU GET A REAL OF EXRTA SPEAKER CABLE FROM EBAY FOR A COUPLE OF POUNDS ) AND PLACE THE SPEAKERS IN ALL THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE ROOM THEN FILL IN THE NEEDED CABLE TO MAKE IT REACH THE WOOFER, WHICH MOST LIKELY YOU WILL HAVE BESIDE OR BEHIND THE TV AS ITS MOST CONVENIENT THERE ( WOOFERS ARE BASS MAKING SPEAKERS AND DONT REALLY CARE WHERE THEY ARE PLACED IN A ROOM.)
YOU SHOULD BE READY TO GO NOW.
THAT IS IS YOU CAN GET ANY SOUND TO COME OUT THE SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM ( LIKE I COULDNT).
THE SMALLER REMOTE IS FOR THE SOUND. THIS CAN BALANCE LEFT AND RIGHT AND VOLUME. AS WELL AS SELECT A AUX INPUT SUCH AS AN IPOD ECT. ( FOR THIS YOU WILL NEED A SIMPLE 3.5 > STEREO PHONO PLUGS. SIMILAR TO THE ONES USED BY THE AV11K.)
WHY IN HELLS NAME THIS SYSTEM IS ON THE MARKET I DONT KNOW. GOD PLEASE RE-ANIMATE MY LAST, AND TRUSTY PHILIPS DVD PLAYER..
HOPE THIS HELPS ALL UNFORTUNATE AV11K BUYS.
YOURS SINCERELY,
ALEX

Maybe if you described the setup with exact model numbers for everything involved we might be able to answer with specifics.
You could poke around her for the Entra Manual for YOUR model.

What they do NOT explicitly tell you is that the amp in the sub is not for your other speakers running off it's Speaker Level outputs. They're just there as a pass-through if you use Speaker Level from your own amp.
Line Level (RCA) IN to the sub will NOT pass anything out those Speaker level outputs.
