How do I connect this subwoofer to my receiver if I do not have a sub output located on the back?

I agree that getting a receiver with an RCA sub woofer output is best, a regular sub woofer output is second best and a regular speaker output is third. If it is a regular speaker output, see if your receiver will allow you to customize the output for that line. USE SHIELDED WIRE WHEN YOU CAN. My BIC picked up interference until I put in shielded cables. Twisted-pair may also aid in preventing extraneous noise.

Do I still need to buy an AV receiver to use this sub?

You can hook this sub up to a vintage 2 channel receiver with the speaker in and out connections on the back. So you don't have to have an AV receiver.

This has Inputs for both Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital/DTS. I play music/vids in both modes. How does this work, re: cable placement?

Setting the switch to Dolby Pro Logic utilizes the Sub's built-in cross-over were Dolby Digital by-passes it and utilizes your receivers LFE filtering. You choose the mode, based of your receiver and the type of signal you are feeding it.

Does it have sterio RCA imputs or one mono RCA imput ?

It has one sub input which has an RCA input style plug. It also has two sets of jacks for input that would use two wire connections (+ and -) for left and right. Could use banana plugs on those I think. Additionally, it has two identical sets of connections that could be used for output to connect additional speakers. Again, banana plugs could be used for those or just stripped wires tightened into place.
