subwoofer level and the lower button decreases it.

WARNING: Some manufacturers preset their receivers with the Sub-Out (A.K.A. LFE)
channel signal at a minimum level. It is very important to verify that your receiver Sub-Out
channel is set to the same output level as your front right and left channels. Refer to your
receiver manual for the individual channel level adjustment procedure. If your receiver
Sub-Out channel is set too low, the subwoofer may appear to have a weak output, it may
sound noisy or distorted, and the Auto On/Off feature may not operate properly.
