• If your subwoofer has a volume control, set it to the
middle position before doing these operations.
• 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 75dB SPL (C-weight-
ing/slow reading).
• The volume of the subwoofer test tone tends to sound
lower than it actually is. You may need to adjust the
level after testing your system with an actual
soundtrack.
