Setting Up for Surround Sound

To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the following setup operations. This is particularly important when using the 2(Dolby)/DTS mode. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.). Refer to the following pages for detailed descriptions of the settings available for each mode.
