Surround setup
Always set up and calibrate your speakers immediately after connecting your
preamplifier to your system. You need to set up the speakers to achieve the best, most
accurate performance from your preamplifier. This is important because the
preamplifier needs to “know” your speaker configuration to control your current system.
Any time you change your speaker configuration, you should perform setup and then
calibration on your preamplifier.
When you are setting up your speakers, your preamplifier gives you several options to
help you maximize your audio/video system. Since every system is unique, you can
choose from the menu options and try different combinations until the sound is exactly
the way you want it.
