manual abstract
(Sencore is a world famous manufacturer of electronic test and measurement equipment. We strongly support the use of this caliber of equipment in the setup of home surround sound systems). Please take a moment to go over its contents before proceeding with your system’s setup. The disc includes room mode calculators, explanations of how sound spreads in a room, information about home theater setup, a glossary, and even an explanation of how standing waves “set up” in rooms. Most importantly, there are test tones on the disc intended to be used to set the equalizer awoofer level in your system. Features Preamplifier Front Panel LEVEL TRIM display Indicates amount of trim adjustment applied (via the remote control) above or below the reference volume setting of your SP-8000. (page 12) FREQUENCY EQ control Selects the frequency to be adjusted by the parametric equalizer. (page 11-12) WIDTH EQ control Selects how wide a range of frequencies will be adjusted by the parametric equalizer. (page 11-12) ATTENUATION EQ control Reduces the subwoofer’s output at those frequencies selected by the parametric equalizer. (page 11-12) Program Equalization indicators Light indicates selected Reference or EQ program as applied via the remote control. (page 11-12) MUTE indicator Lights when amplifier volume is muted via the remote control. (page 7 and 13) PHASE control Sets correct Subwoofer phase (0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°) to best match your satellite speakers and room. (pages 11-12) LOW PASS crossover control Sets the low frequency crossover between the Subwoofers and your satellite speakers. A detent is provided for the THX/EXT setting.

Direct Access Remote Control port Use for hard-wired direct access of remote control functions. A contact closure between "com" and any function will activate that function Remote Control jacks The IR IN jack accepts an IR signal from a separately powered system or an IR signal generated by a “whole-house” controller. Use the THRU jack to “daisy-chain” to other devices. (page 9) EXT IR Receiver Connector Use the EXT IR RCVR input powered port to connect to a 3-wire 12 volt IR receiver module (xantech,ect.) when the preamplifier is not in line-of-sight with the remote control. Use the OUT TO SLAVE jack to pass on the received signal to other equipment. Low Level jacks Use the input jack to connect to the "subwoofer" or "LFE line out" from your processor/receiver. Use the output jack to connect to your subwoofer's input. Use the XLR-type balanced connectors, if possible, to obtain lowest noise and hum. AC Input Use the included AC adapter to connect your preamplifier to a wall outlet.

Simply connect to the Input jack on your preamplifier with high-quality shielded cables as shown in Figures 6 and 7. Please consult your processor/receiver manual for further information regarding the use of these outputs. If possible use the XLR- type input (balanced).
