Quick Start Guide
4
For connection to a Stereo Receiver or Pream-
plifier without auto-set-up, adjust the PB-1000 
Pro volume to match the output of your main 
speakers,  and  adjust  the  low  pass  filter  to 
blend the bass between the PB-1000 Pro and 
your  speakers.    If  needed,  consult  with  our 
Sound Experts on the best phase setting.
For additional guidance on recommended crossover or low pass filter settings specific to your system, 
visit our Subwoofer Matching Tool at www.svsound.com/merlin, or contact our Sound Experts.
For connection to an AV Receiver, set the PB-1000 Pro volume to -10 in the app 
(on the rear panel, all but the last two lights illuminated). Set the low pass filter to 
LFE and the phase to 0 degrees, then run auto-set-up on the AV Receiver.  Always 
re-run set-up if you move the subwoofer to 
another location.
The rear panel features an intuitive user interface with controls for adjusting the subwoofer’s 
primary settings. The blue LED bar shows settings for Volume, Low Pass Frequency, and Phase. 
Simply press the setting you want to change and then use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust the 
settings.
Please note, some DSP settings can only be accessed using the SVS app.
The SVS App is the easiest and most convenient 
way to access all of the advanced control features 
available on your PB-1000 Pro, from the comfort of 
your favorite seat.
