he yellow plug into the
VIDEO jack, the white plug into the LEFT jack, and the red plug into the RIGHT jack. The
opposite ends of the cables should be connected to your receiver/processor. The yellow
VIDEO cable goes to an available composite video input (e.g. aux), and the white/red AUDIO
(L&R) cables go to a corresponding audio input. As an alternative to composite video, you
may want to use S
-video (S-video connector not included). Connect the S-video from the
SMS
-1 to an S-video compatible input on either your processor or TV. Consult your
receiver/processor and/or TV owner’s manual for more information.

middle setting.

generate test tones used to match the SMS
-1 to your satellites and to correct for room
anomalies that need to be played by your main audio system.

A Word About Interconnect Cables
When installing your new Velodyne SMS-1 using the line level connections, you should always
use shielded phono cables. Ther
e ar
e many quality cables available today
, most any of which
will work per
fectly well. We do recommend that you keep the length of cable as short as
possible to avoid any potential noise problems.
A Word About Connecting more than one SMS- 1
Note that your SMS-1 can control up to three subwoofers. Each of the three subwoofers will
receive the same conditioned signal fr
om the SMS
-1. If you wish to r
un mor
e then three
subwoofers, or wish to individually customize the signal to different subwoofers, you will need
more than one SMS
-1 connected in a “daisy-chain” configuration. This section describes setup
in a daisy
-chain configuration.
