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.
