6For Better Surround Sound

1 Go through the entire "system setup" procedures as outlined on pages 32-41 of this instruction manual.

If you don't hook up any other components with digital audio or do so following the default settings of the receiver (see p. 14) you won't have to assign any more digital inputs, but many other adjustments will improve the sound tremendously.

2 Experiment with the different sound settings offered with the 2/ DTS and DSP buttons.

For more information see p. 43-47.

3As mentioned above you should go through the "speaker setup" instructions on pages 32-41 to set up your speakers properly. If you don't do this you, at least, need to make sure the CENTER channel is turned off if you don't have a center speaker. Use the instructions on pages 32-35 to get the display below on your remote control.
