available actually are able to provide significant output below 80 Hz. Once you've determined the correct choice press
the ">" key to move on to the next speaker option: "Speaker setup – Sub: yes."

5.5.1.4 SUBWOOFER

The sub-woofer setting offers you only two options: "yes" and "no." If you have no sub-woofer and you select "no" all
bass information, including LFE, is sent to the speakers which you have defined as "Large." If there are no "Large"
speakers then all information below 80 Hz, including LFE, is lost. (If your speaker system is made up of speakers
which can be defined as "Large" then a sub-woofer is not as much of an imperative as it is if your speakers should all
be defined as "Small").
With the display reading "Speaker setup – Sub: yes" you must use the "/\" or "\/" key to select from the two options.
We generally recommend a sub-woofer and a selection of "yes." . Once you've determined the correct choice press
the ">" key to cycle through the Speaker setup options and review what you have chosen.
Once you have decided you're happy with your choices press the "MENU" key three times, to back out of the menus
and return the SSP-25 to full operating mode.

DELAY SETUP

5.5.2
Delay setup is important to your enjoyment of movies, and any other Surround
mode you use. The purpose of the setup is to tell the SSP-25 where the listener is
sitting in the room, or actually, how far all the speakers are from each other and
from the listener. The SSP-25 can then send out the sound from the different
speakers at the correct times so the sound of an event gets to the listeners' ears
at the same time.
Setup is simple:
1.
next page, the distance from the preferred listening position to each of the
speakers in the room.
2.
the listening position.
3.
from this distance to determine the difference, and write these numbers down on
the worksheet as well.
4.
feet from the listener. The two Left and Right speakers are each 7 feet. The
difference between the distances is 1 foot for the Right and Left speakers. If the
two surround speakers are each 5 feet from the listener, the difference is 3 feet
for each of them. The Center speaker, being the furthest from the listening
position, is set as 00 (zero) in the "Delay setup" configuration.
5.
same "furthest" distance from the listening position. 00 (zero) would be entered in
"Delay setup" for all speakers furthest from the listener position.
6.
do, the SSP-25 does the rest.
The "Delay setup" option requires you to do a little math to determine the distances of the speakers relative to the
listening position. We have provided a helpful, and hopefully simple, worksheet on the next page. The instructions on
how to tell the SSP-25 about these distances are also on the next page.
