Tips for setting up speakers
Stereo triangle
You can use the stereo triangle as a good rule of

If your speakers have a bass-reflex port on the back, you should allow for a 5cm/2in clearance to the back

Note: As the Phase, Cut-Off Freq. and Level is now controlled by the TDAI-3400, you should set the controls
of connected subwoofer(s) to neutral: Phase: 0, Cut-Off: Maximum and Level at 50% of maximum. When
