If your system does not have a subwoofer, choose No. If it has a THX Ultra2-certified subwoofer or a subwoofer that is capable of reproducing frequencies down to 20Hz, choose Ultra2. If it has a subwoofer that is not THX Ultra2 certified and not capable of reproducing frequencies down to 20Hz, choose Yes. The subwoofer will reproduce the low-frequency effects (LFE) channel of Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks as well as any bass rerouted from speakers designated as Small.

Then press the OK button on the remote or the front-panel Enter button to exit the Speaker Configuration menu and continue to the Level Settings menu. LEVEL SETTINGS Surround Right The most accurate method for setting the relative levels of the speakers is to use the Stage One's calibration signal in conjunction with a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter. The Level Settings menu will begin with the test signal set at a predetermined output level. THX suggests that the output of each channel be set to 75dB, read from the SPL meter at the listening position.
