If your subwoofer is passive your system does nothing in this channel
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Configuration is very simple time that is needed to unpack connect and simple configuration is less than 20 minutes without subwoofer channel
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However if you include subwoofer and you entertain adjustment of each surround channel accordingly to your needs you might need another several attempts to get exactly where and what you hear
