Getting Started THE PROCEDURE Begin with the suggested locations for subwoofer placement given at the beginning of this manual then connect your subwoofer following the instructions given in the section entitled "Subwoofer Connection". Once your subwoofer is connected, read the instructions below, then follow the prodedure at right to install Paradigm's Perfect Bass Kit. Before starting the procedure, note the following: • PC requirements are Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7* and 2 USB ports. If you are running a newer operating system see note about updating PBK files to match on page 17. IMPORTANT! Each time we introduce a new product to work with PBK, the PBK software must be updated. The unique calibration file required to operate your microphone is included on the enclosed CD and will be installed during program installation from the CD. However, there may have been additional software program updates since your CD was published. To achieve optimal performance you must be using the latest software version. Follow the instructions provided below to install the software and then check our website for newer versions. • If you are using a laptop computer, check power settings and battery meter before starting to ensure the procedure will not be interrupted. Although systems vary, in general, if your home theater receiver/processor also has a Room Correction system, PBK should be set up and running before setting up your system's 'EQ', especially if more than one subwoofer will be in use. IMPORTANT! Don't stand too close to the microphone or make noise when sweep tones are playing (it would be best to keep younger or talkative family members and even pets out of hearing range). The program rejects continuous background noise (i.e. fans) but will give an error message requiring re-measurement upon sudden noise. Install the Software Insert the PBK installation CD into your computer's CD or DVD drive. Installation instructions will appear on your screen. If your computer does not allow a CD to 'auto-run', double-click on the 'My Computer' icon on your computer desktop and select the CD drive, open it and double-click on setup.exe. The process will install several files into a Paradigm folder on your computer and create shortcuts on your Start Menu. Confirm Your Software Version Once the Software is Installed a) End the program and reopen it using the shortcut in the Start Menu; b) A 'Welcome' window will appear on your screen. Click 'Open a previous session' and then click 'OK'; 19
