Pay attention to the presence of children or to the effect on your neighborhood. • Perform the auto calibration in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and get a more accurate measurement. • If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly.
