CR-1

SCENARIO 3 SETUP GUIDE:

2-channel Subwoofer/Satellite System that is Bass-Managed by the CR-1 and also
shares active subwoofers AND MAIN L-R SATELLITE SPEAKERS 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 and main speaker

you will share with the two-channel system via the CR-1. This setup assumes

that the home theater’s main speakers are driven from an outboard, dedicated

amplifier. A stereo preamplifier and the CR-1 will be added to the system to

create a dedicated two-channel mode.

Connect your CR-1 as shown in Scenario 3 Connection Diagram on page 19.

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.

For your Home Theater System, if you raise the existing Subwoofer Master

Level (on the powered subwoofer) to level match the 2-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 2-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 two-channel mode.

Once you have completed the two-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 and Left/Right satellite levels played through

your home theater receiver or processor is still correct. As mentioned above,

your 2-channel system’s sub 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. You may also need to use the

HT receiver or processor’s Left/Center/Right/Left Surround/Right Surround

Level controls to properly rebalance the shared Left and Right speakers with the

home theater system.

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.
