Changing the Speaker Settings Manually

If you wish to make changes to the settings found during the room correction and speaker setup, follow the directions on pages 67–69.

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 the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup.

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 the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, detection issues may occur, so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a low- pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.
