6. Conguring a Surround Processor

The PV1D may be controlled by a home automation

system running RS-232 protocol. A stereo 3.5mm

mini-jack socket is provided on the underside of the

PV1D. As this is not the standard RS-232 connection,

the installer will need to make a custom cable with the

following pin connections to the mini-jack plug:

Tip Transmit data (Tx)

Ring Receive data (Rx)

Sleeve Ground

The control codes may be downloaded from the PV1D

support page of our web site.

Once set up the PV1D should require little adjustment.

However, if it is moved within the listening room or if

large items of furniture are introduced, its Gain and

SysEQ may need adjustment. Please remember that

the PV1D is capable of volume levels that have the

potential to damage your and others’ hearing. If in any

doubt reduce the volume. If the PV1D is overloaded, its

standby indicator will ash red.

The performance of your PV1D may change subtly

during the initial listening period. If it has been stored

in a cold environment, the damping compounds and

suspension materials of the drive units will take some

time to recover their correct mechanical properties.

The drive unit suspension will also loosen up during

the rst hours of use. The time taken for the speaker to

achieve its intended performance will vary depending

on previous storage conditions and how it is used.

As a guide, allow up to a week for the temperature

effects to stabilise and 15 hours of average use for

the mechanical parts to attain their intended design

characteristics.

You may wish to reassess settings once the subwoofer

is fully run in.

The surround processor setup process involves setting

a distance for each speaker and, if ‘small’ speakers

are used, conguring the crossover that diverts very

low bass to the subwoofer. The settings recommended

in the processor instructions are generalised and not

customised for the speakers actually used.

In order to optimise the system, please use the

following settings in the processor:

Set the distance to the subwoofer 30cm (1 ft) greater

than the actual measured distance.

For ‘large’ speakers, set the distance to that actually

measured.

For ‘small’ speakers, always use the default Dolby

Digital crossover conguration with the frequency set

at 80Hz. Then, for each speaker listed, reduce the

distance from that actually measured by the value in a

look-up table.

So that the look-up table may be kept up to date, you

can nd it on the PV1D support page of our web sites.
