Speaker Selection

Basic System Description screen

6.x Phantom

The screen above allows you to configure the SC-1 for the number and nature of the channels in your system. Select the appropriate configuration from the drop- down menu, wherein the normal conventions are used to describe the system, e.g., a “5.1 Multichannel” system includes left, center, right, two surround chan- nels, and a “0.1” subwoofer channel.

If you have already configured an identical system and saved the configuration, you can load it by pressing the button below the drop-down menu.

If you are returning to set up an SC-1 that has already been set up at least once, this screen will be skipped. The software will instead read the current settings of the SC-1 and display the third screen (Room Calibration). If you need to return to this screen to change the basic system configuration, you can click the Previ- ous button on the third and second screens to return.

A special case exists in this menu system, that being the “6.x Phantom” system configurations. This is intended to describe the case of what amounts to a 7.x system minus its center channel. This configuration may be used in situations where using a center channel is simply not practical.

Instead, the surround processor folds the center channel information into both the left and right speakers equally, creating a “phantom” center channel image. It is called out separately in this menu because there is also a “6.x Multichannel” configuration which includes a center channel and a single, rear surround chan- nel. In either case, the SC-1 needs to know which channels are being used so it can produce the correct test signals during calibration.

When you have selected the basic system description that fits your situation, click the Next button.

The second screen provides visual confirmation that the basic system descrip- tion you selected is appropriate, and a graphic way to tell the SC-1 which loud- speakers you are using on each channel.

Follow the on-screen instructions, as shown below.
