Before operating the amplifier, be sure to press the main power button on the front panel to turn the power ON (_).
Selecting a Sound Mode
To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the set up procedures described in "Setting Up for Surround Sound" (starting on page 26) before using the sound modes. This is particularly important when using the 2 (Dolby) Digital or DTS sources. When using the sound modes, SPEAKERS A will give the best results. If you use SPEAKERS B, the sound will be down mixed to the two front B speakers.
