Sometimes due to the electrical complexities of subwoofers and the interaction with the room, THX recommends setting the level and the distance of the subwoofer manually.

Sometimes due to interaction with the room, you may notice irregular results when setting the level and/or distance of the main speakers. If this happens, THX recommends setting them manually.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs very

 

low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be

 

detected by Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker

If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review Speaker

 

Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s

 

volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest crossover

 

frequency, and then try running Audyssey 2EQ Room

 

Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if the vol-

 

ume is set too high and the sound distorts, detection issues

 

may occur, so use an appropriate volume level. If the sub-

 

woofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct.
