Setting up for surround sound

Choosing your surround sound settings

To get the best possible surround sound from your system, make the settings below. This is particularly important when using Dolby surround. You should only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your speakers, or sometimes, depending on the disc you’re playing). Refer to the following pages for details on each of the settings.
