SCENARIO 2 SETUP GUIDE:
2-channel Subwoofer/Satellite System that is Bass-Managed by the CR-1 and also
shares active subwoofers with a separate multi-channel home theater system
For this setup discussion, we will assume that your separate home theater
system is already working and optimized using the subwoofers you will
share with the stereo system and the CR-1. Dedicated stereo speakers that are
completely separate from your Home Theater system will be added, along with a
stereo preamp, a stereo amplifier, and the CR-1.
Connect your CR-1 as shown in Scenario 2 Connection Diagram on page 17.
It is very helpful if your existing Home Theater setup has resulted in
Subwoofer Level Controls set at a middle position (“0” on a JL Audio subwoofer’s
Master Level) and your home theater receiver or processor’s subwoofer output
level is also at a middle-range reference position. This will ensure easier
integration of your dedicated stereo system and the CR-1.
If you raise the existing Subwoofer Master Level (on the powered subwoofer)
to level match the two-channel system, you will need to LOWER the subwoofer
level in your home theater receiver or processor to compensate for this level shift.
Likewise, if you lower the Subwoofer Master Level to match the two-channel
system, you will need to RAISE the subwoofer level in your home theater receiver
or processor to compensate for that level shift. The goal is to find a common
setting of the Subwoofer’s Master Level control that works well for both systems
– the home theater receiver or processor’s level control is used to offset any level
differences that exist. The CR-1’s Sub/Sat Balance control is intended for fine
tuning rather than gross level offsets.
First, you will set up the two-channel portion of the system, using the CR-1’s
controls. Use the same settings and follow the exact same procedures listed in
Setup Scenario 1 to set up this 2-channel mode.
Once you have completed the 2-channel setup and are happy with the
results, switch the CR-1 into “Bypass” mode via the front panel switch,
and confirm that your subwoofer level played through your home theater
receiver or processor is still correct. As mentioned above, your 2-channel
system’s subwoofer level will be determined only by the Subwoofer’s
Master Level control. Your HT receiver or processor’s subwoofer level will
adjust the output for multi-channel mode. If needed, adjust the home-
theater mode’s subwoofer level via the HT receiver or processor.
Once the above is accomplished, your Home Theater system should sound
normal when the CR-1 is in Bypass mode AND your two-channel subwoofer/
satellite system should sound fantastic as well. The CR-1 has successfully allowed
you to share subwoofers between two different systems with the push of one button.
