Connecting the speakers
1. Speaker impedance
a) Front & rear speakers : 4

minimum

b) Subwoofer1 & Subwoofer 2 speaker: 4

minimum

2. Be sure to connect the cords between the speaker terminal and
speaker systems with the same polarities(''+'' to ''+'' ,''-'' to ''-'' ), if not,
the central sound will be weak and the effect of the different
instruments will not be clear. It will diminish the stereo effect.
3. When connecting the speakers, be sure that the wires do not stick
out from the terminals and touch other terminal or the rear panel!
4. Checking connections.
a) Be sure all connections are made correctly before applying
power to the main unit. Damage to the unit may result if not connected
properly. Refer to page 4 for connection details.
b) Check the polarity (positive and negative ) of connections and
the directivity of stereo separation (right cord to right channel
terminal)

First Time Operation
Important: Before Applying Power:
a) Set all controls on SRS1000 to mid position (slot in knob will be
vertical).
b) Be sure TV mode trigger is not active (ie: 0 VDC)
c) Be sure that TV and Radio are off
System Set-Up (Gain Matching, EQ setting, 3D Effect setting)
1) Apply power to SRS1000. Verify Radio mode by checking
Radio/TV indicators on Front Panel.
2) Turn on Radio and select a program source (a strong radio station,
CD-play, etc). Adjust radio volume to approximately 1/4 volume.
3) Adjust Radio gain control up and down until suitable level is
reached. Check level setting by exercising radio volume control from
min to max and verifying overall volume levels at the speakers.

Note: EQ and 3D effect controls are only for TV mode operation.
When in Radio mode, these controls are bypassed.
4) Now apply power to the TV mode trigger, and verify TV mode is
active by checking indicator on the Front panel.

7) Adjust EQ until desired sound quality is reached. This is done
by turning each of the 3 knobs under "3 Band Equalizer" on the
front panel. 100Hz is for Bass, 1 Khz is for midrange, and 10 Khz is
for Treble.
8) Adjust 3D Effect knob to match size of vehicle. This control is
to compensate for the acoustic properties of small and large
vehicles, which are very different. As a gengeral rule of thumb, the
smaller the vehicle, the more 3D effect is needed to simulate the
full "theater experience". For the most part, however, this
adjustment is mostly according to personal taste.
