• 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 75 dB SPL (C-
weighting/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.
