Using Your C/L/R 3000(s) in a Dolby Digital AC-3 System

Using your C/L/R 3000 as a Center Channel in a Dolby
Digital System

When using your C/L/R 3000 as a center channel in a Dolby Digital system

simply hook up the C/L/R 3000 to the center channel output of your system as
described in the preceding section. Do not hook up a subwoofer/LFE output to
the low-level input on your C/L/R 3000. The subwoofer in the C/L/R 3000 is
not, in most cases, designed to be the main dedicated LFE .1 main subwoofer
in a Dolby Digital system. It is designed to extend the frequency response and
dynamic range of the center channel speaker. Set the center channel bass man-
agement to “Large” center channel.

Using Using your C/L/R 3000 as Left and Right Main
Speakers in a Dolby Digital System

If you are using C/L/R 3000 also as the main left and right speakers in a

Dolby Digital system, set the bass management system for “Large” left and
right main speaker and “No” subwoofer. This will send the .1 discrete bass
subwoofer signal into the left and right main channels and into the sub-
woofers in your left and right channel C/L/R 3000s.
