1. Select AMP Mode: Use the remote commander and set it to AMP mode. 2. Access the Setup Menu: Press the *Menu* button on the remote to display the "MAIN SETUP MENU" on the screen. 3. Choose Sound Mode: Navigate using the Up or Down cursor buttons to select a surround mode that supports multi-channel playback, such as Dolby Pro-Logic II (Music) or Neo:6. 4. Adjust Speaker Levels: - Select "MANUAL" speaker setup. - Use the Up or Down cursor buttons to adjust the output level of each speaker. - Use the Left or Right cursor buttons to set the distance for each speaker. 5. Confirm Settings: Move the cursor to "NEXT" and press OK to apply the settings.
This setup ensures that all speakers, including the center speaker, produce sound when playing audio from the CD input.
