Once you have completed the above tasks, the receiver will automatically detect which speakers you have connected
and configure your speaker settings according to that. You don't have to do anything. This setup establishes the size
and configuration of the speaker system you have connected and is the easy way to setup your speakers for surround
sound. If you don't have surround speakers or want to make more exact speaker settings should go to page 25.
The Automatic speaker setup will give you acceptable surround sound.

consult the manual that came with your DVD player.
