Setting the Subwoofer Level

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT
LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly
balanced with the treble sounds from the other speakers.
Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass
sounds, there's a temptation to set the level of the
subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the
subwoofer level to what you think is the optimal level,
and then back it off slightly.
