Planning the configuration
Before creating a configuration for your 568 Digital Surround
Processor it is a good idea to plan the following aspects of your
setup:
❍How you are going to set up the different speakers in your
layout.
❍Whether the bass is going to be handled by the main
speakers, or by one or more subwoofers.
❍Which analogue or digital inputs you are going to use for each
of your sources.
❍Which DSP preset you want as the default preset for each
source and audio format.
