SR-8100: User Manual
Example Input Conguration
The following is an example of how you might choose to congure your SR-8100. In the example,
we will be conguring a typical 7.1 surround system, with seven speakers and a powered sub, and
a Blu-Ray player and Cable Box as the video and audio sources. The Cable Box is connected to
HDMI 1 input, and the Blu-Ray player is connected to the HDMI 2 input. Both input devices, and our
monitor, support HD.
Electrical Connections
• Connect the Cable Box to the HDMI 1 Input (using an HDMI cable).
• Connect the Blu-Ray Player to the HDMI 2 Input (using an HDMI cable).
• Connect the Monitor (TV) to the HDMI Output (using an HDMI cable).
• Connect the amplier outputs on the SR-8100 to your seven surround-sound speakers.
• Ensure that the Back Channel switch on the rear of the SR-8100 is IN.
• Connect the subwoofer output to your powered subwoofer.
Since the SR-8100 will be doing the bass management for all of our speakers, we have set
the crossover on our powered subwoofer to “Flat”. We have initially set the level on our
subwoofer to “0 db”.
Menu Settings
Note: In this example, we will be leaving a lot of settings at their default values, and will not
be entering several menu screens at all. Obviously, this is an example, and your system may
require different settings.
The only conguration that will be required to start enjoying your SR-8100 at this point is to run the
Sherbourn Advanced Room Equalization System (refer to Page 36 for details).
(You may even skip this step if you don’t want to take the time right now, or are still nalizing your
room setup. If so, then simply select HDMI 1 for Cable or HDMI 2 for your Blu-Ray player.)
