EXPERT Setup
The settings here can only be done if you’ve performed the more basic preliminary setups. Thus, before doing these
settings do either AUTO SETTING on page 13 or NORMAL setup page 38. These settings are to further heighten your
surround sound. They are not absolutely necessary but may give more defined and enjoyable surround sound. You
can decide if you want to make these settings or not. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change
the placement of your current speaker system, add new speakers or components to your system, etc.). These setup
operations use your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and receiver are properly hooked up.
