Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-50 Mythos SSA50 Manual - Page 4

Receiver/Speaker Set-up Service SSA-50 OWNER'S MANUAL DO NOT USE THE "AUTO SETUP" FEATURE IF IT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR RECEIVER. Because the SSA produces surround sound from a single front mounted speaker, the auto setup feature will not operate correctly and will actually make your system sound worse. Access Your Receiver's "Speaker Set-up" or "Speaker Configuration" menu 1. In the Speaker Set-up/Configure function of your receiver, set all channels to "Small." Service and warranty work on your Definitive loudspeakers will normally be performed by your local Definitive Technology dealer. If, however, you wish to return the speaker to us, please contact us first, describing the problem and requesting authorization as well as the location of the nearest factory service center. Please note that the address given in this booklet is the address of our offices only. Under no circumstances should loudspeakers be shipped to our offices or returned without contacting us first and obtaining return authorization.

Select "Yes" when asked if you are using a subwoofer. 3. Set the subwoofer crossover frequency on the receiver to 120 Hz. In the receiver's "Speaker Distance" Set-up Menu, select the same distance for all channels. If your receiver or processor uses a "Channel delay" setup function that requires a delay-time entry, use the minimum setting (in Ms) that it allows for the center and surround channels. Surround Sound Settings Dolby Digital or DTS on all 5.1 channel programming; Dolby ProLogic or Dolby ProLogic II for all 2 channel sources such as radio and CDs. Set Surround Volume Levels: 1. Set Left, Center and Right to "Zero" (0dB). 2. Set Left and Right surround levels to a minimum of "+5" dB. Don't hesitate to set surround channels to "+7" dB or higher in order to hear enveloping surround sound. Optional 6.1 and 7.1 Channel Hookup If you choose to use additional speakers with a 6.1 or 7.1 channel receiver, connect those speakers to the "Rear" channel outputs of your receiver. Consult the receiver owner's manual for specific information about 6.1 or 7.1 channel operation.
