13. M&K 5.1 MULTICHANNEL & PRO-LOGIC SYSTEM SETUP GUIDE
The 5 Most Important Items In System Setup:
1. Find the best location for the subwoofer for maximum output and flattest response
(usually the corner closest to the listening position)
2. Aim the front speakers (and the surrounds, if possible) vertically for the flattest
response and best imaging
3. Set all speakers to the Small setting for proper High-Pass and Low-Pass Filter
operation to get the lowest distortion and maximum dynamic range
4. Calibrate all speakers and the subwoofer to the identical level for proper imaging
and balance
5. Make sure all speakers are in phase for proper imaging and impact
These instructions will help you make sure that you cover all steps in setting up a 5.1 multichannel or Pro-Logic sur-
round sound system. In addition to following this list, make certain that you study and understand the owner’s manual
for each and every component used in the system, especially the processor/receiver’s manual. Have fun and good luck!
A useful tool for system setup is the DVD called Video Essentials. For additional information, visit the web site at
www.videoessentials.com.
Here are the instructions for speaker setup.
A. Locate the front speakers. The left, right, and center speakers should be equidistant from the main
listening position. Try to set up the speakers so that they are reasonably symmetrical to room surfaces.
A tape measure may be very helpful.
B. Locate the subwoofer.
1. The best place for the subwoofer is the corner with the best structural strength. If the corners
are roughly equal in construction, use the corner nearest the listening position. If the listening
position is in the front half of the room, place the subwoofer in a front corner. If it is in the back
of the room, place the subwoofer in a back corner. If possible, avoid corners near doorways
or openings.
2. If you are willing to experiment, another option is to place the subwoofer at the listening
position and walk around the room. Stand in and near each corner. The location where you
hear the tightest bass with the most impact is probably the best location in the room for the
subwoofer.
