! The center speaker largely determines the

sound image and getting the balance right
isn

’t easy. We recommend reproducing a 2-

ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting
the balance right among the speakers ex-
cept for the center, and then reproducing a
5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and ad-
justing the center speaker output to the
balance you have already got among the
other speakers.
