placed wrongly. See the supplied Startup Guide and check 

the speaker position.

The measurement result is not match to the speaker

– The distance between the speaker and the calibration 

microphone may be too small. Set them further apart and 

perform the measurement again.

The distance and position of a subwoofer cannot be 

detected. This may be caused by noise. Try performing the 

measurement in a quiet environment.

Measurement has been completed. However the speakers 

are not placed in the proper position with respect to each
