Need help with Sony SA-WM40 Subwoofer (1 Viewer)

[MichelJ]

Hi all. I am new here and am a complete beginner when it comes to audio setup. I bought the SA-WM40 last week but got no instruction manual with it. I have the Sony MHC-S9D Hifi system with dvd/cd player connected to the subwoofer. So my question is- at what levels should the controls on the SA-WM40 be at and is there any adjustments on the hifi that I should make. Thanks a million for any help that can be given and don't forget, I am a complete beginner!!!!

I leave my SW-40 volume at about 12 o'clock. But thats just me.

Welcome
The only way to definitively set the sub's level is with an SPL meter and test tones either from the receiver or from a disc with calibration tones. Consider doing a search for "sub calibration" and/or "SPL meter".
