6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 for the right ProMonitor.
7. Set the low frequency filter control on the back
of
the ProSub to the setting described
in a ProSub Owner's Manual. Please note that the exact frequency will depend on
many factors including specific positions
of
the speakers in the room, so you might
experiment with a slightly higher
or
lower setting to achieve ideal blending between
the sub and the satellites for your particular set-up. Listen to a wide variety
of
music
to determine the correct setting for this in your system.
8. Set the subwoofer level control to the setting described in a ProSub
Owner's
Manual.
Please note that the exact level depends
on
many factors including your room size,
position
of
the speakers, etc. as well as your personal listening taste, so you might
experiment with the subwoofer level while listening to a wide variety
of
music until
you achieve the ideal setting for your system.

If
your receiver allows you to choose whether
or
not the main speakers are to receive
a full-range signal, choose full range (or "Large" Left and Right Main Speakers).
Using
ProMonitors
with
a ProSub
in
Home
Theater
There
are many different variations
of
the basic Dolby ProLogic
and
Dolby
Digital AC-3 formats
and
features, as well as a multiplicity
of
ways in which the
speakers can be hooked up to these systems.
We
will discuss the simplest
and
most
effective hookups and adjustments.
If
you have a particular question regarding your
set-up, please call us.
For
Dolby
ProLogic Systems
Follow Steps 1-9 provided earlier.
The
subwoofer will receive its low frequency
signal through the full-range speaker level outputs.
If,
however,
your
system has
a separate subwoofer
RCA
low level output which has a remote control level
adjustment, you might also want to
hook
this up using an
RCA-to-RCA
low level
cable to the LFE/subwoofer-in low level input (the lower
RCA
input) on a ProSub.
Then
use
your
remote control sub level adjustment to fine-tune the low frequency
level for different types
of
program material. (You might find you want a higher
level for some music
or
for movies).
For
Dolby
Digital
AC-3 5.1 Systems
Please note that Dolby Digital decoders have bass management systems (systems
which direct the bass to the various channels) which vary from unit to unit.
Simplest Hook-Up
The simplest way to hook up and use your ProCinema System with Dolby Digital
5.1
Systems is to hook a ProMonitor to each
of
the front (main) left, front (main) right,
rear (surround) left and rear (surround) right channels and a ProCenter to the front
center channel outputs
of
your receiver
or
power amplifier making sure that the red (+)
terminal
of
each speaker is hooked up to the red (+) terminal
of
its proper channel out-
put and the black (-) terminal is connected to the black (-) terminal
of
its proper chan-
nel output. Then connect the
LFE
RCA
output on your receiver
or
decoder to the LFE
input on your Definitive ProSub subwoofer.
