A/V RECEIVER WITH AUTO CALIBRATION
• Run the Auto-EQ setup feature on your A/V receiver. It is important to rerun
your receiver’s calibration procedure if you are upgrading from another
subwoofer.
• If your setup doesn’t involve Auto-EQ features, adjust the subwoofer volume
control to level-match to your loudspeakers.
• Access the A/V receiver speaker speaker setup menu, and confirm the
appropriate speaker/subwoofer crossover settings for each speaker channel.
• For additional guidance on recommended crossover settings, visit our Merlin
matching tool at www.svsound.com/merlin or consult the Owner’s Manual,
downloadable from www.svsound.com/document-library.
• For most users, the TYPICAL A/V RECEIVER
setup is all that will be required to connect
your subwoofer.
• If you run separate Preamplifier and Power
Amplifiers, follow the PRE/PRO - LINE LEVEL
connection guide.
• Alternate connection options are available
in the Owner’s Manual, downloadable from
www.svsound.com/document-library.
Subwoofer performance varies greatly depending on position in the listening environment. If possible, it is best to start with a corner placement on
the same wall as the front speakers.
