Adjusting Your Surround Sound Settings

For realistic home theater sound

Each speaker produces only the sound directed to it by your sur- round sound receiver. During a surround sound program, the front and center speakers will emit sound almost constantly, while the surround speakers may be silent at times.

Use the test tone on your receiver to further verify connections and to adjust the volume level of the speakers.

To use the test tone

1.Press test tone ON at the receiver remote.

2.Listen and confirm that each speaker reproduces sound as the tone moves from speaker to speaker. One tone should come from both SURROUND speakers at the same time.

3.Adjust the volume levels of the CENTER and SURROUND speakers so all of the speakers sound equally loud in your main listening area.

Instructions for this process vary, depending on the receiver brand and model you are using. Follow your receiver owner’s guide instructions for more details on using the test tone.

To balance the bass and treble

Upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpets, or heavy drapes can muffle treble (high notes), making your speaker system sound bass heavy. Bare floors and walls and hard surface furniture can make your speaker system sound too shrill. After listening to your speakers, you may want to adjust the balance of bass and treble. You can use the bass and treble controls on your receiver.
