Fusion 8100: User Manual

Note: The Fusion Advanced Room Correction System is very sophisticated, but no automated 

system is totally foolproof. Unusual room acoustics, reflections, or unusual speakers can 

cause it to get incorrect results. If the Fusion ARCS says that the phase of a particular speaker 

is reversed, it is a good idea to double check your wiring, and the phase of your power amp 

and speaker. If, however, you find that the Fusion ARCS is mistaken, you can safely ignore 

its findings. If the Fusion ARCS says your subwoofer is out of phase, look for a phase reversal 

switch on your sub (many have one) and try it the other way. If your sub has a variable 

phase control, setting it to “180” is the same as reversing the phase. Moving a subwoofer to 

a different position in the room may also result in a reversed acoustic phase. If your sub is 

definitely phased correctly, or you have no way to reverse it, then just ignore that as well. If you 

change any wiring or speaker positions at this point, please cancel out of the Fusion ACRS and 

restart it from the beginning.
Notes (about setting subwoofers): 
Since the Fusion Advanced Room Correction is controlling the bass management for your 

subwoofer, it is usually optimum to set your sub itself to “flat”. If your subwoofer has a phase 

setting, you should set it to “0 degrees” or “normal” (and not “inverted”). If your sub has a 

built-in crossover that cannot be disabled, then set it to the highest allowed crossover point. If 

your sub has a level control, setting it to a center position, or “0 dB”, is a good place to start. If 

your subwoofer has special features for eliminating room nodes, or if you are using bass traps 

or other advanced room correction devices, these adjustments should usually be made BEFORE 

running the Fusion ARCS for best results.

Once you have finished viewing the information presented by the Fusion ARCS, press Enter to 

continue. The Fusion ARCS will now play 

another

 series of test tones through each speaker. These 

tones are used to make more precise measurements for each speaker (which will be used to 

generate the calibration settings). After this series of test tones are done, the Fusion ARCS will 

present you with another screen of information. 
This time you will be prompted to 

SAVE

 the information by pressing Enter. 

The fourth, and final, step to running the Fusion ARCS is to activate the calibration settings that 

Fusion ARCS has created. On the current Menu screen, you can see the equalization settings that 

are currently applied by the Fusion 8100. The options include Auto EQ, Manual EQ 1, Manual EQ 

2, Manual EQ 3, and Flat. By moving the highlight to each choice and pressing Enter, you change 

the current setting to that choice (and may hear what it sounds like). The highlighted option is the 

one that is currently selected. (The Auto EQ settings will be highlighted and selected by default.)
You will be able to go back later and change your choice, and to manually adjust the settings 

made by the Fusion Advanced Room Correction System if you prefer. You may also create up to 

three full sets of custom manual EQ setting and choose between them. To make the calibration 

curve generated by your new Fusion ARCS active, and apply it to your inputs, you must leave Auto 

EQ selected as the active EQ choice.
