eUsing the Manual Speaker Setup menu of your receiver or pre/pro, play the speaker level match- ing test tone and adjust each speaker to read 75 dB “5” on the meter with the range switch set to 70 using the speaker trim controls found in the menu for each channel. When playing the test tone for the subwoofer, use the Gain control on the STA-400Dto raise or lower the level of the subwoofer to read 75 dB leaving the subwoofer trim control in the AVR or pre/pro set to -3dB. Note the meter may fluctuate by several dB when measuring the subwoofer. This is normal and what you are seeing are room modes in play.
