Setting Up Your Home Theater System
Volume Levels:
To obtain the best home theater effect, match the sound levels of each speaker.
Home theater systems include a test signal that simplifies this level matching. Refer to the instruc-
tions provided with your surround-sound electronics.
Center Channel Mode:
Generally, with all surround systems, including Dolby
®
Pro Logic
®
and
Dolby
®
Digital, the center channel mode should be set to “NORMAL” or “SMALL.” This setting
diverts low bass to the subwoofer and results in the greatest total system bass output. The
“PHANTOM” setting, which presumes you do not have a center channel speaker, should not be used.
Surround Channel Mode:
If your electronics have a surround channel mode, it should also be
set to “NORMAL” or “SMALL.” This setting will divert any low bass in the surround channels to
the subwoofer.
