• Run the Auto-EQ setup feature on your A/V receiver. It is important to rerun
your receiver's calibration procedure if you are upgrading from another
subwoofer.
• If your setup doesn't involve Auto-EQ features, adjust the subwoofer volume
control to level-match to your loudspeakers.
• Access the A/V receiver speaker speaker setup menu, and confirm the
appropriate speaker/subwoofer crossover settings for each speaker channel.
• For additional guidance on recommended crossover settings, visit our
