SR 1000 Be
Safe practice
The 3 positions mode selector has been developed to suppress any short- circuit risk or connection error when two amplifiers are simultaneously connected to SR 1000 Be. In order to ensure best performance under the chosen configuration, we strongly recommend to carefully follow mode selector connection and setting instructions.
Turn off any amplifiers connected to SR 1000 Be during each mode selector operation!
Bipolar mode (5.1)
Set the right and left surround loudspeakers back selector in Bipolar position. Always connect the amplifier
to right and left SR 1000 Be input (fig. L).
Note : in bipolar mode, the loudspeakers work together towards the front and the back of the listening area in order to cover it in a smooth and consistent manner.
Note : input is always inoperative when the selector is set in the Bipolar position.
Bipolar mode (6.1)
Set the extra back center unit back selector in Bipolar position. Always
connect the amplifier to SR 1000 Be center bipolar unit input . (fig. M).
Twin mode (6.1 or 7.1)
Left loudspeaker : set the selector in Front position. Connect the surround side channel to input and
the surround back center channel to input (fig. N).
Right loudspeaker : set the selector in Front position. Connect the surround side channel to input and
the surround back center channel to input (fig. N).
Note : the side channel is always connected to input for both left end right loudspeakers and the center channel always on input . That approach permits switching the selector from Bi mode to Twin mode without wiring modification.
Note : Twin mode allows back and side surround information to be carried simultaneously to a single surround loudspeaker, dividing it in two parts beaming towards the front and the back of the listening area.
Note : surround side channel information will be carried to the front while center channel information will be carried towards the back of the listening area thanks to the two sets of separated connectors.
Bi/Twin mode(7.1)
Back center speaker : when a third back center loudspeaker is added to the system, SR 1000 Be side channels are to be set in Bi mode while the surround center channel is to be set in Twin mode. Set the selector in Front
position. Connect the left back surround channel to input and the
right back surround channel to input
(fig. O).
