Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer' different setup
options
for each source

mode
(e.g.,
CD stereo,
Dolby
Digital,
Pro
Logic).
In
each
case,
follow
your

to
ensure that
the
subwoofer
output
is
turned
on
and
that
the
speakers
are
set
to
"511Iall"
in each mode.
Floorstanding speakers can be set
to
"Large" and may
produce
a
more
full sound by
doing
so.
Try
both
settings and use
the
one
that
sounds best
with
the broadest range
of
source material.
If your receiver
has
adjustable crossover settings,
we
recommend
the
subwoofer crossover be
set between SOliz
alid
120Hz.
Refer
to
the owner's manual for your
AV
receiver for any
additional recommendations on system operation.
