9THE OUTLAW’S GUIDE TO THE SMS-1
So you came home at lunch, found the SMS-1 on the front porch, and
want to get it hooked up and set up before you have to go back to work?
OK, we can relate to that, so the following is a sort of “crash course” in get
-
ting the SMS-1 from in the box to in use. In light of the SMS-1’s substantial
capabilities, a more deliberate and thorough setup is recommended to
yield the full benets of the unit, but we’ll humor you just this once. Grab
a sandwich, some chips, and a drink and meet us on the couch.
1. Get everything out of the box. (Trust us, it’ll help.) While we’re at it,
pick out a spot in the equipment rack for the SMS-1 to live and slide
it into place. Make sure you can get to the rear panel easily so we can
hook it up in the next step. It’s shallow, so it’s easy to turn sideways in
the rack while you’re plugging things in.
2. Connect the EQ audio outputs and EQ video output on the rear panel
of the SMS-1 to a spare input on your receiver. There’s a set of audio
cables and a composite video cable in the accessory box that you can
use for this.
3. Unhook the subwoofer from your receiver and move that cable to
one of the LFE outputs on the SMS-1.
4. Connect the subwoofer output of your receiver to the audio input
(also labeled “LFE”) on the SMS-1. You’re on your own to chase down
an analog audio cable for this.
5. Plug in the SMS-1’s power cord, connect it to the AC adapter, and con-
nect that to the SMS-1’s 12V DC power input.
6. Take the microphone out of its case, plug one end of the mic cable
into it, and put it on the tabletop stand. While we have the micro-
phone case open, grab the wind screen and t it over the end of the
microphone.
7. Plug the other end of the microphone cable into the SMS-1’s front
input.
8. Set the microphone in your preferred listening position. (It will give
your seat back to you when it’s done, we promise.)
9. Press the power button on the front of the SMS-1.
10. Turn on your receiver and TV and set the receiver to the input that
the SMS-1 is connected to. Make sure that input is congured for an
analog connection, composite video input, and stereo playback. We
don’t want surround processing or an analog bypass mode. At this
point, you should see the default SMS-1 screen on your TV.
11. Grab the receiver remote and SMS-1 remote. (You did remember to
put the batteries in the SMS-1’s remote, didn’t you? What, we didn’t
mention that? OK, OK, put the batteries in.) Press “1-2-3-4-5” on the
SMS-1 remote to get into the menu.
12. Do you hear that? That’s the test tone. If everything is hooked up
right, the tone is playing, the microphone is listening, and the SMS-
1 is drawing a frequency response curve on the TV. Turn up your
receiver’s volume so that the right side of the curve being drawn on
the TV is somewhere around 80dB or so. Once that’s done, you can
put down the receiver’s remote (freeing a hand for that sandwich you
made earlier).
QUICK SETUP GUIDE

We have one contributor
who isn’t known for his exceptionally
robust attention span. He loves the
extended edition versions of the Lord
of the Rings movies, but thinks there
are actually six movies because he can
only watch one disc at a time – we’re
not sure he could survive sitting
through a four-hour movie. Needless
to say, it was shocking to find that he
could assemble a complete contribu-
tion. Lo and behold, he came up with
this very fitting entry.
