Using Front Surround

The Front Surround modes are effective when you are using the Front surround speaker setup as described on page 7. The surround speakers should be placed on top of the front speakers and oriented either towards the walls, or straight ahead, depending on which mode you are using (see below).

Turn each surround speaker so that the arrow at the base is lined up with the FRONT SURROUND arrow on the front speaker. This is only necessary with the FRTMOVIE or FRTMUSIC modes. With EXTPOWER (Extra Power), line up the arrow with the EXTRA POWER arrow (the surround speakers should be in the same direction as the front speakers.).
