Subwoofer Placement
The placement of the subwoofer significantly impacts bass response. Experiment with different locations to find the best sound. Generally, placing the subwoofer near the front of your listening area or in a corner can enhance bass output. Avoid placing it too far away or behind the listener.

Night Mode
Night Mode is designed for late-night listening. When activated, it reduces the dynamic range and turns off the subwoofer, allowing for quieter playback without disturbing others. This mode can be used independently of Dolby Digital status or Virtual Surround settings. The system allows only one EQ profile (Standard, Dialog Enhanced, or Night) to be active at a time.
