Users who previously purchased the now discontinued Subwoofer Check and/or Center Speaker Check tracks in Surround Speaker Check versions prior to 2.0 can access these purchases by enabling "Legacy Products" in the new app info page.

UPDATE 10/29/24: Please note that while the legacy in-app purchases titled "Subwoofer Check" and "Center Speaker Check" are still available for previous customers, these products are considered discontinued and will be removed from the App Store in October of 2025.

1. Check to make sure you have wi-fi connection to your network.

Can Safari connect to web pages on the internet? If yes, continue.

If no, please visit this Apple Support page: https://www.apple.com/support/airport/ (For non-Apple brand routers, please contact the appropriate manufacturer website)

Helpful Tip: Apple's support forums are a good source of help for troubleshooting mac and iOS wi-fi connectivity issues.

2. Check to make sure you have Airplay connection to your Apple TV.

Can you turn on Airplay and stream music or video from the Apple Music or Video apps? If yes, continue.

If no, please visit these Apple Support pages: https://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215

Helpful Tip: I've found simply re-starting the AppleTV will clear up persistent Airplay issues. Ways to restart your Apple TV: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3180

3. Check to make sure your home theater audio is decoding/playing Dolby Digital 5.1 correctly:

Play the Surround Speaker Check track through your Apple TV. Can you hear audio from the corresponding speakers highlighted in blue up on the app or TV screen? If not, please consult with your receiver manual to learn how to enable Dolby Digital playback. (For more info regarding the Surround Speaker Check app function, read "About the App" on the About page in the app.)

Helpful tip: Most audio receivers have built-in functionality (typically utilizing test tones or white noise) for setting up and calibrating surround speakers.
