Configuring Speaker Set A

This chapter describes how to configure speaker set A to achieve the best results from your surround sound system.

There is no speaker configuration for speaker set B.

Before configuring, you must: —Disconnect any headphones (see page 33) —Turn off speaker set B (see page 32) —Make sure that Multich is off (see page 29)
