9 OPERATING THE SURROUND FUNCTIONS

Achieving the optimum surround sound

Surround sound can be achieved using the settings made upon shipment from the factory (the default settings), but to achieve even more optimum surround sound, we recommend using the test tones to adjust the levels of the different channels, set the speaker distances (delay time), etc.

For details, make the settings referring to page 39.
