Default Sub questions

I have recently received a cheap Chinese Sub which was badly dinged up in
the delivery (thanks a bunch, DHL...) and another one is being sent for just
a tenner to cover the shipping charges. So I've taped this one up pro temps
and have had some noises out of it and will give it a good thrashing
shortly.

Anyway , the instructions are in German, so I've got some questions about
the connections, which look quite comprehensive - see:

I take it the 'Hi Level In' and 'Hi Level Out' is where the speaker output
wires from a stereo amp are routed for a normal 'sub/sat' stereo setup?
(amp - sub - speakers.)

What about the 'Line In' and 'Line Out' (which I have never seen before) - I
presume the single SW phono connection from the AV amp can go to either of
the Line In sockets and they are 'commoned', but what are the 'Line Out'
phono sockets for? What would you do with them? (OK, probably nothing for
normal use, but I'm curious....??) Finally the Phase Switch - I haven't
heard much difference with either setting yet. Is there a 'correct' setting?

TIA
