1. CONFIGURE SPEAKERS

The configure speaker menu lets you tell the Home Theater Standard 7.1 how many and what type of loudspeakers are in your system and allows you to select the bass range for each loudspeak- er. It also allows you to control the subwoofer output and set the crossover frequency.

2. LISTENING ROOM SETUP

The listening room setup menu lets you define the exact location of each loudspeaker in the system, so that the Home Theater Standard

7.1can synchronize the output to all speakers, no matter where they are located in the room.
