Using The Tdai-2170 In A Surround System - Lyngdorf Audio TDAI-2170 Owner's Manual

Using the TDAI-2170 in a Surround System

Integrating a TDAI-2170 with RoomPerfect™ into your surround sound setup enables you to make the most of your system's front
speakers and subwoofer(s) and enjoy the full benefits of RoomPerfect™. The process is easier than you might expect.
Important note: make sure your surround sound receiver has a front speaker "pre-out" connector.
Setup of surround receiver
On the surround receiver, adjust the settings as follows:
1. No subwoofer connected; this must be connected to the TDAI-2170 instead.
2. Front speakers: X-Large, or corresponding reference for full frequency range speakers.
3. Measure and set up the distances/delays to the front speakers.
• Measure the distance to your front left and right speaker, and the subwoofer if you have one in your setup.
• Take the longest distance measured and add 52 cm / 20.5 in. This adjusts for the delay caused by the processing of the TDAI-2170.
• Input this number for BOTH the left and right speaker in the surround receiver menu.
4. Connect the surround processor´s front speaker "pre-out" to a stereo analog input on the TDAI-2170.
Setup of the TDAI-2170 in a surround sound system
For the TDAI-2170, adjust the settings as follows:
1. Set up two front speakers, and subwoofer(s) as described in "Speaker setup guide" on page 6.
2. Measure and input the correct distances to the speakers and subwoofer.
3. Perform a RoomPerfect™ calibration of the stereo system.
4. In the surround processor, adjust the levels to uniform between the surround, center, and stereo system.
