Testing Your Speakers:

Plug the power cord into a wall outlet and turn on the master power switch on the back of the subwoofer.

Access the speaker test feature by pressing the Test button on the wireless remote control. A test tone will cycle through each speaker. While in your normal listening position, use the Sub, Center, or Surround +/- buttons to adjust the speakers to your satisfaction. For optimal sound, each speaker should play the test tone at the same volume level.

The mixer outputs should be unbalanced or there will be a 6db loss of signal going into the speakers which could result in a higher noise level.

•Multi-channel devices such as tape decks connect connect in the same manner as the the mixer.
