Setting up the AV receiver
To take full advantage of a home theatre system
with an active subwoofer, set the "Speaker Setup"
section of your AV receiver to "small" or "nor-
mal" (not "large") for the five satellite speakers.
This ensures that the speakers receive the right
amount of signal, and that the subwoofer and
front speakers have matching volumes.
Also in the "Speaker Setup" section (Bass Manage-
ment and/or Speaker Management), make sure
the subwoofer is set to "On" .
The correct crossover frequency for the System 4
set is 100 Hz.
Setting up the subwoofer
Set the subwoofer itself to "Full Range" . This
means that the phase and crossover frequency
are controlled by the AV receiver. Make sure that
the subwoofer's frequency control is set to maxi-
mum.
The subwoofer's output volume may vary depend-
ing on usage, e.g., home theatre sound system or
music playback. Whereas an action-packed DVD
typically contains very defined sub bass signals,
many music-only sources do not. This is especially
noticeable if your system is calibrated for opti-
mum DVD playback. To find the best compromise
between differing sound sources, use your own
subjective judgement. Our recommendation is to
determine the best subwoofer volume gradually
over time.
Avoid configuring the subwoofer volume au-
tomatically via your AV receiver's integrated
room analysis computer (advanced receivers
only). Instead, set the subwoofer level in the
bass management/speaker management section
("Speaker Setup") to a high value, and to medi-
um-low on the subwoofer itself. This will guar-
antee that the subwoofer activates itself at the
right times when in "Auto On/Standby" mode, and
you can freely experiment with different bass
levels that are suited to your various listening
scenarios.
