Tip

For best surround sound, make sure the surround back speakers are the same distance from the listening position.

Note

1• If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and adjust the level of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).

The subwoofer test tone is output at low volumes. You may need to adjust the level after testing with an actual soundtrack.
