NOTE: If you using identical speakers anywhere in your system (e.g., S-150THX speak-
ers for the left, center, and right channels), all of those channels should be set to the
same level. If your meter measures a different level, it is probably a limitation of this
type of meter measurement method and not an actual audible level difference. Set the
channels using identical speakers to the same level, unless you actually hear a differ-
ence later when you are doing listening to verify the system setup.
9. Check phase. Make sure that all five main channel speakers are wired in phase. The
Video Essentials disc has tests for main speaker phase.
10. Make sure that the subwoofer and main speakers are in phase at the 80 Hz crossover
point. Listen to something with a consistent bass line around 80 Hz while a partner
switches the “Phase” control on the subwoofer from “+” to “-”. The switch position that
results in the greatest bass at the listening position is the correct setting.
11. Play something that is familiar to you through the system to verify the system’s overall
performance. If something does no sound right, recheck your connections and settings.
Re-measure, re-check, re-align.
12. Switch the processor/receiver to each input that you will use. Check your settings for
each input and each mode. Some processor/receivers require that you enter settings
separately for each mode and/or input.
13. Before playing the system, check levels and speaker alignment one last time. Make
sure that you write down all processor settings for future reference.
