Speaker Setup Tab
This tab allows you to set the size and volume of the main speakers. First, check the
Current Speaker Set menu to see if your speakers are included in the manufacturer’s
presets. If not, the settings in this tab will ensure the best performance from your

You may choose a Speaker Setup from the Current Speaker Set menu or from the Quick
Switch Settings icons at the top of the tab. If you modify a setup, you may save that setup

on the icon next to Current Set, and dragging that icon up to the Quick Switch Settings.
When you choose a Current Set, a graphic representation of that speaker setup will

particular speaker, settings for that speaker or speaker group will appear to the right,
allowing you to make level adjustments and other modifications right from the Speaker
