A STEP-BY-STEP “QUICK GUIDE”

INSTALLATION OF YOUR SP MK II

1.

You will require the following items: Left/right front speakers, two surround speakers,

necessary audio amplifiers, and an audio-video source plus necessary interconnect
cables. Additional options include a center channel speaker, and subwoofer or
THX–certified loudspeaker components.

2.

Place the speakers and connect them to your amplifiers. Be sure to observe proper

polarity. A typical front speaker placement diagram is found on page 14. A dipolar sur-
round speaker placement diagram is found on page 15.

3.

Connect the appropriate interconnect cables between the outputs of the SP MK II to

the audio amplifier inputs. Be sure to turn off the electronic crossover if you are not
using a subwoofer. The push switch is found on the rear panel of the SP MK II. Also
note than an electronic crossover is provided for a subwoofer on the surround chan-
nels as well. If your surround speakers have woofers of less than eight inches in diam-
eter, we suggest that you leave the surround channel electronic crossover engaged.

4.

Connect the output of an audio-video source such as a laser disc player or Hi Fi

VCR to the SP MK II.

5.

Turn on the SP MK II.

6.

Using the handheld remote control, set the following:

MODE:

Dolby

®

Pro Logic™ or Home THX Cinema.

CENTER:

On, if a center speaker is used.

AMBIENCE:

REF

PANORAMA:

Center position on.

DELAY:

Set to 20 mS.

7.

Make sure the Bass EQ is turned off (full counterclockwise) and set the Input Level

control to the 12 o’clock position.

8.

On the front panel of the SP MK II, turn on the Noise Sequencer. The test signal will

start at the left front channel and go clockwise around the room. If you are not using
side speakers, turn off the side channel output switch on the rear panel. Adjust the
Output Trim Level controls so that the volume is the same from each speaker at the lis-
tening location. We recommend the use of a sound pressure level meter, if available,
set for “C” weighting, “slow.” Set each speaker for 85dB sound level using the internal
noise sequencer.

9.

Turn off the Noise Sequencer. Select a Dolby Surround encoded movie on laser or

HI-FI VCR to verify system performance.

10.
