preamplifier to drive your Servo-Controlled Bass amplifier, and your
power amplifier is a solid-state design, adjust the phase to 45. If your
power amplifier is a transformer-coupled valve design, adjust the
phase to 75.

The remote control has two buttons on the lower portion of the hand-
held marked “MEM 1” and “MEM 2”. These controls will memorize the
settings you have selected. To memorize a setting, point the remote
control at the amplifier. Press the MEM1 or MEM2 button and hold
down for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, the reading will flash and your
new settings will have been memorized.

To recall the memorized setting, press the appropriate memory button
once. You may want to memorize two different settings to match your
recording's bass level closely, or you may want to use one bass
setting for music and yet another for video.

1.7 Crossover Controls

You will notice two control knobs on the crossover box. The left hand
knob is a volume control for the rear tweeters. Turning this control
clockwise will increase the level of the rear tweeters. Use this control if
you need a

bit

more treble or to increase the apparent space of the

soundstage. Start with this control at the twelve o'clock (high noon)
position.

The control on the right side is a five-position switch used to adjust the
soundstage height. Depending on your room acoustics and your
amplifier, position three has the sound stage at about the middle – like
the soundstage when you are seated in the stalls seats in a concert
hall. Position five pushes the soundstage high, like the orchestra level
seats, and position one has the lowest soundstage – like you are in
the circle seats.

2 Tuning the system

Music is the best way to begin your setup procedure. We suggest that
video sources be used only after you have setup the system to
properly reproduce music.

We suggest that you start with a single female vocal with instrumental
accompaniment because the sound of the human voice is more easily
recognizable than many instruments and is the least complex sound
to deal with.
