 Use the Play Button to test channels individually
to hear if their level is suitable. Slowly raise the
master output level until sound can be heard.
Repeat this step for each speaker.
11. Once each channel is complete, adjust the Master
output to a normal or slightly loud listening level.
Calibration notes:
• A common master volume range is -35dB to -25dB.
• A signal-to-noise ratio error indicates too low of audio to
measure. Master output may need to increase.
• A clipping error indicates too high of an audio level to
measure. Master output may need to decrease.
• If your subwoofer has gain control, this control may need to
be adjusted to assist with the volume calibration of that channel.
