Setting the Subwoofer Level

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass

sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds from the other speakers.

As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back it off slightly.

•The Auto Standby function turns the subwoofer on when the input signal exceeds a certain level. If the Auto Standby function does not work reliably, try slightly increasing or decreasing the subwoofer output level on your receiver.
