1.1

Unpacking

Before unpacking the SA10, inspect the outer carton for shipping damage. If the carton
shows damage, inspect the unit in those areas.
Carefully remove the unit from its carton, remove the plastic wrapping, and place on a flat
surface.
1.2

Equipment Required

The following equipment is required for proper installation and alignment of the SA10:
• 1/3 Octave Real Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTA) with multiple calibrated microphones
and a multiplexer, or a single calibrated microphone.
• Sound Pressure Level Meter (with slow time-constant and C-weighting scale).
• Cat. No. 69T Dolby tone test film, shipped with the SA10 packing.
• Cat. No. 1013 Surround EX final alignment check and channel ID test film.
• AC voltmeter.

1.3

Mounting and Connecting

Disconnect the surround output wiring from the existing cinema processor. These
connections will be moved to the SA10 surround output connector. Mark each cable
identifying its channel. Leave the cables connected to the power amplifiers and booth
monitor.
Open the front panel and confirm that all modules and circuit cards are seated properly.
The new surround channel is made up of two separate amplified signals, each requiring a
power amplifier. You may need to purchase additional power amplifiers for your
installation. To avoid heat problems, do not mount the SA10 immediately above the
cinema processor or the power amplifiers. The power amplifiers should be located away
from the SA10 to avoid hum pickup problems.
