Receiver/Speaker Set-up
DO NOT USE THE “AUTO SETUP” FEATURE IF IT IS INCLUDED
IN YOUR RECEIVER. Because the SSA produces surround sound from a single front mounted speaker, the auto setup feature will not operate correctly and will actually make your system sound worse.
Access Your Receiver’s “Speaker Set-up” or “Speaker Configuration” menu
1.In the Speaker Set-up/Configure function of your receiver, set all channels to “Small.”
2.Select “Yes” when asked if you are using a subwoofer.
3.Set the subwoofer crossover frequency on the receiver to 120 Hz.
In the receiver’s “Speaker Distance” Set-up Menu, select the same distance for all channels. If your receiver or processor uses a “Channel delay” setup function that requires a delay-time entry, use the minimum setting (in Ms) that it allows for the center and surround channels.
Surround Sound Settings
Dolby Digital or DTS on all 5.1 channel programming; Dolby ProLogic or Dolby ProLogic II for all 2 channel sources such as radio and CDs.
Set Surround Volume Levels:
1.Set Left, Center and Right to “Zero” (0dB).
2.Set Left and Right surround levels to a minimum of “+5” dB. Don’t hesitate to set surround channels to “+7” dB or higher in order to hear enveloping surround sound.
Optional 6.1 and 7.1 Channel Hookup
If you choose to use additional speakers with a 6.1 or 7.1 channel receiver, connect those speakers to the “Rear” channel outputs of your receiver. Consult the receiver owner’s manual for specific information about 6.1 or 7.1 channel operation.
