Complete Home Theater Systems
We strongly suggest that you use matching Definitive center channel and
rear/surround speakers to complete your Definitive home theater system. Please
note that you can use Definitive Mythos ST SuperTowers as rear or side surround
speakers with excellent results for both music and movies.
Although the built-in subwoofers in your Mythos STs deliver superb low
frequency response and are all that are required for amazing performance, some
listeners go for the ultimate performance and add an additional powered subwoofer
to their system. If you choose to do so, we strongly suggest using a Definitive
SuperCube in order to achieve the highest level of sound quality possible. This
should be driven with an additional RCA low-level cable connected to the LFE
output of your receiver or processor. Your receiver or decoder’s bass management
system should still be set to “Large” left and right main speakers and “Yes”
subwoofer.
Using your Mythos ST with
an Additional Subwoofer
If you experience any difficulties with your Mythos STs, try the suggestions
described below. If you are still having problems, please consult your Definitive
Technology Authorized Dealer for assistance.
1. Make sure all your system interconnects and power cords are solidly in place.
2. Should you experience any level of ground hum or noise, try plugging the
power cord into the same circuit as your amplifi
er
.
3. The system is provided with sophisticated internal protection circuitry
.
If for some reason the protection circuitry is tripped, please turn down your
system’s volume and wait fi
ve minutes before trying the system again. If the
amplifier should overheat, the system will turn of
f until the amplifi
er cools
down and resets.
4. Check to be sure that your power cord has not been damaged.
Troubleshooting
procedure on your decoder to raise or lower the bass level for movie sound effects
as you require.
Normally the level control of the left speaker will be set the same as the level
control of the right speaker. However, these controls can also be set differently on
the two speakers in order to allow you to vary the response of left and right speakers
separately to compensate for variations and asymmetrical positioning of the left and
right speakers in your room (i.e., when one is closer to a side wall or corner, etc.) if
this is how you must set them up. This is a very unique and useful feature which
allows you much greater flexibility in loudspeaker placement, as well as the ability
to optimize what could otherwise be difficult placement situations.
