high.

Keep the noise level in the room as low as possible when using the Auto Surround Setup. If the noise cannot be kept low enough, you will have to set up the surround sound manually (page 51).

After using the Auto Surround Setup, the subwoofer distance setting is set further than the actual measured distance.

The low-pass filter found in subwoofers can introduce a delay in the playback sound.

This is not a malfunction. The Auto Surround Setup has compensated for the delay caused by the filter.

After using the Auto Surround Setup, the speaker size setting (LARGE or SMALL) is incorrect.

There was some inaudible low-frequency noise in the room.

The low-frequency noise could have been caused by an air conditioner or motor. Switch off all appliances in the room and rerun the Auto Surround Setup.
