This product complies with the essential requirements
of the EMC directive 89/336/EEC. ELAT012609
Receiver/Speaker Set-up
DO NOT USE THE “AUTO SETUP” FEATURE IF IT IS INCLUDED
IN YOUR RECEIVER. Because the SSA produces surround sound from
a single front mounted speaker, the auto setup feature will not operate
correctly and will actually make your system sound worse.
Access Your Receiver’s “Speaker Set-up” or
“Speaker Configuration” menu
1. In the Speaker Set-up/Configure function of your
receiver, set all channels to “Small.”
2. Select “Yes” when asked if you are using a subwoofer.
3. Set the subwoofer crossover frequency on the receiver to 120 Hz.
In the receiver’s “Speaker Distance” Set-up Menu, select the same
distance for all channels. If your receiver or processor uses a
“Channel delay” setup function that requires a delay-time entry,
use the minimum setting (in Ms) that it allows for the center and
surround channels.
Surround Sound Settings
Dolby Digital or DTS on all 5.1 channel programming; Dolby
ProLogic or Dolby ProLogic II for all 2 channel sources such
as radio and CDs.
Set Surround Volume Levels:
1. Set Left, Center and Right to “Zero” (0dB).
2. Set Left and Right surround levels to a minimum of “+5” dB.
Don’t hesitate to set surround channels to “+7” dB or higher in
order to hear enveloping surround sound.
Optional 6.1 and 7.1 Channel Hookup
If you choose to use additional speakers with a 6.1 or 7.1 channel
receiver, connect those speakers to the “Rear” channel outputs of
your receiver. Consult the receiver owner’s manual for specific
information about 6.1 or 7.1 channel operation.

date of the original purchase from a Definitive Technology Authorized Dealer.
However, this warranty will automatically terminate prior to the expiration of

chased the Product, or to the nearest factory service center. Product(s) must be
shipped in the original shipping container or its equivalent; in any case the risk

period, Definitive Technology or the Definitive Technology Authorized Dealer

with respect to its Products purchased from dealers or outlets other than
Definitive Technology Authorized Dealers. This Warranty is in lieu of all other
expressed Warranties. If this Product is defective in material or workmanship as
