Unfortunately you will need to contact the Singapore distributor from which you purchased the unit for warranty service.

However, is there anything that I can do first to make it works before send it over back to singapore..coz it really cost a lot.. about $220.....(half of my velodyne sub's price )

My question is can the SMS-1 be used with the Optimum? The SMS-1 offers many more adjustments then the built-in EQ of the Optimum, plus OSD. BTW, I had a ULD 15 in my system for many years. Loved that beast.

When we test the subwoofers we will take the left and right output from a cd or dvd player and connect them directly to a subwoofer, with a disc playing some music with heavy bass. Then we turn the cross-over all the way to direct and set the volume at 30%.

how do I check the fuse? (sorry.. newbie question)

also, I've hooked up my sub into my bluray player last night.. and still no sound coming from the sub...

I'm on the fence about this subwoofer. What am I getting myself into with this purchase? I'm able to get it new for a little over $500. I'm hoping to get an owner's opinion on this sub.
I use it mostly for movies, but some music. About a 80/20 split.

I have a Yamaha RX-V667 receiver with KEF Q300's as fronts. Infinity Primus P163 all the way around for a 7.1 set up.
I have a PC350 Infinity center that's going to be replaced soon so it matches the Q300's.
My current sub is weak. It's an Infinity Primus PS28 - 8" sub @ 150w RMS

I feel that my bass is lacking big-time and I just don't get those satisfying lows.

Thanks!

Internally the left and right signals are summed, so two subwoofers hooked up to one SC-1250 operate in dual mono.


The SC IC/IF subwoofers contain 12 inch drivers. Two of these subwoofers can provide theater reference output in a room up to about 3600 cubic feet.

The sc12 is side wall mid point and the IC/IW is towards the rear of the room close to centerline. I am impressed by their output. The only trouble I am having is phasing for the subs. Since the velos are not co located I cannot seem to get phasing to make a huge difference in the rear of the room and the front at the same time. I think this is due to needing seperate phasing. My question is it possible for the auto eq function to set different phasingfor each sub if I try different mic locations during sweeps? If I could get the front room response I see at 0 phase and rear room response I see with 180 phase my room would be really even. My hope is the 1250 would set the rear sub to 180 and the front sub to 0.

What should I do to know the amp or the driver caused this?Thanks

I have decided to bypass the DD's internal eq (SMS) and use the xt32. My question is after I run the xt32 with my subs and I change the setting ( jazz, movie, etc.) with the DD remote, does that affect the xt32 calibration? For instance if when I ran the xt32 when the DD was set to jazz, then after all is done I change the DD to movie would that change the eq? I think it does because it sounds boomy now. I just would like to see if anyone can confirm this for me. I like the ability to change settings with the DD and like the way number one sounds (cant think of what it's called at the moment). So when I run xt32 should I set the DD to number one, and that's what I'm stuck with? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Also when doing a self eq, is there a way to turn down the volume to make it not so loud? My 15 is about three feet away from my listening position and the graph shows the spl is above 90 db. I would like to decrease the spl during self eq but can't seem to do it. Is self eq only out put at a certain spl?
