Power Cord Protection ­ Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience CAUTION: receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. Overloading ­ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral DO NOT OPEN!convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. [. . . ] If it has a THX Ultra2-certified subwoofer or a subwoofer that is capable of reproducing frequencies down to 20Hz, choose Ultra2. If it has a subwoofer that is not THX Ultra2 certified and not capable of reproducing frequencies down to 20Hz, choose Yes. The subwoofer will reproduce the low-frequency effects (LFE) channel of Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks as well as any bass rerouted from speakers designated as Small. A subwoofer signal is also created during Stereo and Pro Logic II playback. Use the Left and Right buttons on the remote control or the Stage Manager knob on the front panel to select the correct subwoofer setting. Then press the OK button on the remote or the front-panel Enter button to exit the Speaker Configuration menu and continue to the Level Settings menu. LEVEL SETTINGS Surround Right The most accurate method for setting the relative levels of the speakers is to use the Stage One's calibration signal in conjunction with a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter. The Level Settings menu will begin with the test signal set at a predetermined output level. THX suggests that the output of each channel be set to 75dB, read from the SPL meter at the listening position. (The meter should be set to slow response and C-weighting, with the microphone at seated ear height and pointed toward the ceiling. A camera tripod can be helpful for this purpose. ) If you do not use an SPL meter, set the levels by ear so that the calibration signal sounds equally loud through all the speakers except the subwoofer. Because our ears are much less sensitive at low frequencies than at middle ones, setting the subwoofer to an audibly equal level on the test signal will make it too loud on program material. If you must set levels by ear, adjust the subwoofer level for a natural tonal balance on familiar music recordings that contain substantial bass. The test signal will either rotate from speaker to speaker at two-second intervals or stay locked to the selected speaker, depending on the setting of the Scroll Test Tones menu in the Advanced Menus. (See "Advanced Menus. ") The test signal and level-setting options will be available only for speakers selected as present in the Speaker Configuration menu.
