PREPARATION FOR HOME THEATER SETUP:
Please confirm the following system settings before beginning the setup
process. This will ensure a neutral starting point and an effective setup of your
subwoofer system. NOTE: In this Home Theater setup process, we assume
that the receiver or processor is handling bass management tasks (see Step 1
below).
On your Home Theater Receiver or Processor:
Before beginning setup of your SA-600W, we recommend that you set your
receiver or preamp/processor as follows:
1. Speaker Size: In the speaker setup menu of your receiver or processor, set up
all of your high-frequency speakers as “small” with a crossover point of 80 Hz.
This will send ALL bass to the SA-600W.
2. Speaker Distance: In the speaker setup menu, properly set all speaker
distances to the primary listening seat, including the subwoofer’s distance. Use
a tape measure to determine these distances (time coherence is important.)
If multiple subwoofers are being used, average their distances to the primary
listening seat and use that number to set the subwoofer distance.
3. Subwoofer Level: Set the subwoofer level in the receiver or processor to “0” or
its middle position.
4. Tone Controls/Equalizers: Set all tone controls to “0” and defeat all equalizer
features.
On the SA-600W:
Before beginning the home theater setup procedure, ensure your SA-600W’s
controls are set to a neutral starting position.
1. Set GAIN to REF
2. Set POLAR to 0 deg
3. Set DELAY to OFF
4. Set ELF to OFF
5. Set XO to OFF (crossover function is handled by your receiver/HT processor)
6. Set EQ to OFF
