Setup, calibrating and integration
What’s to know?
Well, first of all, setting up an SV Subwoofer is
pretty darn easy. There are a few key things to get right though if you
want to get the most out of your sub…
Unpacking.
You’re probably eager to fire up your sub, but take time
to carefully unpack everything. Save the box and shipping materials,
just in case you need to return the sub for any reason.
Location.
They say it’s ALL about location right? It’s the same with
setting up your subwoofer. So, where to put it?
Go for a corner
if
you can, and avoid putting your sub where it might adjoin large open
areas
.
Studies have shown that the deepest and flattest bass response
is typically attained when a subwoofer is placed within a few feet of
one of your home theater’s corners. A corner near your seat is best of
all. The front-firing configuration of this SVS makes this easy.
Whether you put the sub in front or to the rear of your seating area
makes surprisingly little difference. Deep home theater bass, like that
from “5.1 channel” DVDs is non-directional. You can’t tell where it is
coming from, even though you can hear, and feel it.
Hook-up
(see fig. 1). To configure your new sub, a simple mono,
shielded 75 Ohm A/V RCA type cable (a.) is all you need to take the
subwoofer output jack of your DD/DTS surround sound receiver
(b.)
and feed the low-level input of the sub’s amp.

NOTE: Stop now if you aren’t
Totall
y familiar with your
receiver’s manual. Ensure all
power
to your equipment is off
when making these connections. Also, be
certain
your power outlet can handle a
minimum of 350 watts. (Use of “convenience
outlets” on receivers are no
t recommended for
powering your SVS.)
