Configuring Speaker Set A
This chapter describes how to configure speaker set A to
achieve the best results from your surround sound system.
There is no speaker configuration for speaker set B.
• Before configuring, you must:
—Disconnect any headphones (see page 33)
—Turn off speaker set B (see page 32)
—Make sure that Multich is off (see page 29)
• The HT-R510 stores each setting, so you only need to con-
figure your speakers once.
With this function you can specify the number of speakers
that you are using.
Home Theater in a box (HT-S760)
If you’re using all of the supplied speakers for 6.1-channel
surround, you don’t need to set this function.
Note:
• Since some listening modes require a minimum number of
speakers, when you change the above setting, the listening
mode may change as well (see page 34).
With this function you can choose the surround channels
from which the subwoofer’s output is derived.
Note:
• If you use Mode 2 or Mode 3 with the Stereo listening
mode, your subwoofer may produce no sound when you
play material in certain surround formats, including
2-channel Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.
