What was your SH500 setup?

A couple items are important when setting up this system (I also own an SH500 for the last 3 years, but my focus is 90/10 music/HT).

What is the -3dB level spec for the bass output of your mains?

1) Since you didn't have a sub, did you set SUB=NO in the speaker setup menu? Main speakers to Large? Center to Small? Surrounds to Small?

2) After measuring speaker distances from each speaker to your listening position, did you set the speaker delay for center and surround speakers? This is especially critical for the center speaker to work correctly.

3) When setting up the speakers and speaker settings on the SH500, did you use an SPL meter to calibrate equal SPL output from each speaker at the listening position?


I found getting everything calibrated correctly was absolutely essential before listening criticaly to surround sound.

I also found a quantum leap in quality after adding a subwoofer, although I didn't connect it to the processor's sub out.
