Setting Up for Surround Sound

Be sure to switch the power of this unit on (The STANDBY indicator goes out).

To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the following set up operations. This is particularly important when using the 2(Dolby) surround 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.
