Setting the speaker setting

!Low frequency range is not output if the subwoofer is set to OFF and the front and rear speakers set to SML or OFF.

!It is imperative that non-installed speakers be set to OFF.

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.
