LOUDSPEAKER SIZE AND SUBWOOFER SETUP

LOUDSPEAKER SIZE SELECTION

When choosing loudspeaker sizes it is impor- tant to take into consideration the low frequency energy and demands of the home cinema sys- tem. Generally loudspeakers using a single 8 inch or smaller low frequency driver need to be specified as SMALL for home theater use with a crossover of 80 Hz. Further details of this requirement can be found on the Dolby Labs web site.

STANDARD SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

When you choose Small for the Front Left and Right speakers then the subwoofer will be required for the system and the PRePro will not allow the Subwoofer OFF selection, requiring you to attach a Subwoofer into the system. The default crossover point will be 80 Hz. If you wish to use a different crossover frequency or want to use an external crossover for the sub-

woofer this can be accomplished by chang- ing the Crossover setting as indicated under the Speaker Size menu. If you are using an external crossover for the subwoofer then select NONE for the Crossover frequency.

ENHANCED BASS SUBWOOFER

CONNECTION

If you have very large Front Left and Right loudspeakers and wish to send the LFE infor- mation to them as well as a subwoofer then select the LARGE setting for the Front speak- ers and Subwoofer OFF. The subwoofer can then be connected either to one or both of the front outputs of the PRePro or to the Amp output(s) for the front speakers. In either case the subwoofer crossover will need to be used to connect in this manner. Please refer to the subwoofer manual or dealer/installer for details in connecting your specific subwoofer.
