Correcting the subwoofer’s phase

If trying to boost the bass output of the sub- woofer doesn’t do much or rather makes you feel that the bass gets more murky, this may indicate that the subwoofer’s output and bass content you hear over other speakers cancel each other out. To remove this problem, try changing the phase setting for the subwoofer.

Adjusting the speaker output levels

Speaker level can be adjusted finely by listen- ing to an audio output. First, use test tone to adjust the approximate speaker level, and then use this function to adjust finely.
