Before setup

•Conduct the auto speaker setup in a quiet environment. A noisy background will give unsatisfactory results.

•Put the subwoofer in position, switch it on, and sets its volume to the level you would normally use. If you do auto speaker setup without the subwoofer, the front speakers will be set as large, possibly resulting in an unsatisfactory bass.
