Preliminary Surround Processor Settings:
If this is the first time the system is being used, it is quite likely that the various user controls are still set to the factory
defaults. However, it is a good idea to make certain they are. There are two ways to do this.
1. Reset the surround processor. Instructions for doing this can be found in the surround processor operator’s manual
under “Restoring Defaults”.
2. Check each setting manually. They should be set as follows:
I. Global Settings:
A. Master Gain Control: 0dB

LEFT – CENTER – RIGHT, all models: Small, 80Hz high-pass
LEFT & RIGHT AMBIENTS, Synthesis 1: Small dipole, 80Hz high-pass

BASS SPLIT: 80Hz
REARS: None
SUBWOOFER: Yes, crossover set to 80Hz
C. All outputs levels set to 0.0dB
