When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L

To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround channel,
not the surround back channel.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
If Reverse Phase is displayed, try the following:
— The speaker's wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.
— Depending on the type of speakers and their installation conditions, Reverse Phase
may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If this happens, select
GO NEXT and continue.
— If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using
speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), it may not be
possible to properly identify the polarity.

Do not move the speaker used as the reference point. Also, adjust in order, starting from

When adjusting the speaker positions, do not move the speakers much; only move them
about 1 inch towards or away from the microphone.

When setting a high frequency value, the subwoofer EQ effect becomes stronger. How-
ever, setting a higher crossover frequency increases the share that the subwoofer bears
for low-frequency playback. For that reason, it is disadvantageous in terms of the phase
point of view. Set to your preference.
