Please note that THX recommends any THX main speakers be set to “80Hz(THX)”. If you set up your speakers using Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to “80Hz(THX)” crossover (page 60).

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 MultEQ XT32 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 Audyssey MultEQ XT32 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.
