Testing Your Speakers:
Plug the power cord into a wall outlet and turn on the master power switch on the back of the
subwoofer.
Access the speaker test feature by pressing the Test button on the wireless remote control. A test
tone will cycle through each speaker. While in your normal listening position, use the Sub, Center,
or Surround +/- buttons to adjust the speakers to your satisfaction. For optimal sound, each
speaker should play the test tone at the same volume level.
