Selecting a Sound Mode

To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the set up procedures described in “Setting Up for Surround Sound” (starting on page 16) before using the sound modes. This is particularly important when using the (Dolby)/DTS sound mode. When using the sound modes, SPEAKERS A are used. If SPEAKERS B are selected and a sound mode is turned on, selection automatically switches to SPEAKERS A only.
