SETTING UP THE SURROUND SYSTEM

To obtain the best results in any of the Surround Modes it is important that the T741 is carefully set up. The Dolby Surround system requires that you specify the parameters of your speaker setup so it can properly direct the decoded surround sound signal in the correct proportion to create the most accurate theatrical effect. Dolby also allows for the redirection of bass frequencies to the most appropriate speaker(s). This is also known as “bass management”.

The setup procedure is broken down in three sections:

1Speaker Settings (by Front Panel controls)

2Channel Delays (by Front Panel controls)

3Level Settings for correct Channel Balance (by Remote Control handset)
