Basic Operations

Selecting surround sound

IMPORTANT!
For proper surround sound, make sure
the speakers and subwoofer are
connected (see Connections-Step 3:
Connecting speakers and subwoofer.)

Press 

SURROUND

 to select surround or

stereo mode.

The availability of the various surround sound

modes depends on the number of speakers used
and the sound available on the disc.

  The center and surround speakers operate

only in Multi-channel surround mode.

The available output modes for multichannel

include: Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby
Pro Logic II surround sound.

Stereo broadcasts or recordings will produce

some surround channel effects when played in a
surround mode. However, monaural (single
channel sound) sources will not produce any
sound from the rear speakers.

Dimming the display screen

Press 

DIM

 repeatedly to select different levels of

brightness for the display screen.
