Surround sound settings

Using the Setup menu

From the Setup menu you can access all the
surround sound settings of the system
including channel levels, speaker distances
and dynamic range adjustment. The Auto
MCACC feature (page 10) should give you the
best surround sound setup. However you may
find that by further adjustment of the surround
sound settings you can improve the surround
sound in your listening room.
