Spatial calibration
Why spatial calibration is needed?
Spatial calibration optimizes surround sound experience if your portable left and right speakers (surround) are not properly placed.
Improvement in surround sound is not noticeable after successful spatial calibration.

Error message is displayed on the display panel.
If spatial calibration fails, one of the following error message is displayed. Refer to the fourth chapter (Spatial calibration) for details to re-calibrate.
FAIL (fail): indicates that the portable
left/right speaker is not in SOD mode or out of calibration range, or there is some obstacle by which the main unit, the portable left and right speakers cannot completely “see” each other.
BATT LOW (battery low): indicates
that the portable left/right speaker has low battery.
ERROR (error): indicates that the
portable left and right speakers are not detached from the main unit.
