5.1)

If the default Theater 1 doesn’t fit your need, you have to replace it.

Press Edit then Delete as shown below.

5.2)

To create a new Theater, select Create Theater, it will appear as shown below. By then

pressing Configure, you will go to the Speakers Layout selection and configuration steps

described in next page.

At this stage you can also create Stereo/Mono audio zones. We do recommend to first define the

Theater and use remaining channels for Audio Zones creation. See step 5.11 for Audio Zone creation.

Theater configuration is made in 3 steps: Creation (5.1 & 5.2), Speakers Layout selection (5.3) and

Speakers/Subwoofers Replication definition (5.4 & 5.5).
