• Sometimes due to the electrical complexities of subwoofers and

the interaction with the room, THX recommends setting the level
and the distance of the subwoofer manually.

• Sometimes due to interaction with the room, you may notice

irregular results when setting the level and/or distance of the main
speakers. If this happens, THX recommends setting them
manually.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs very
low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be
detected by Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction
and Speaker Setup.
If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review Speaker
Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s
volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest crossover
frequency, and then try running Audyssey MultEQ XT32
Room Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if the
volume is set too high and the sound distorts, detection
issues may occur, so use an appropriate volume level. If the
subwoofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or
Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for
details.
