rear speakers set to Small or Off.
! It is imperative that non-installed speakers
be set to Off.

Correcting the subwoofer
’s phase
If trying to boost the bass output of the sub-
woofer doesn
’t do much or rather makes you
feel that the bass gets more murky, this may
indicate that the subwoofer
’s output and bass
content you hear over other speakers cancel
each other out. To remove this problem, try
changing the phase setting for the subwoofer.
