For realistic home theater sound
Each speaker produces only the sound directed to it by your sur-
round sound receiver. During a surround sound program, the front
and center speakers will emit sound almost constantly, while the
surround speakers may be silent at times.
How to set your Pro-Logic receiver
For use in video applications, be sure the SURROUND SOUND
center mode setting of your receiver is on NORMAL (Figure 9). You
may press in the button labeled Loudness (Bass Boost or Super
Bass on some receivers) to see if you prefer that video sound.

Use the test tone on your receiver to further verify connections
and to adjust the volume level of the speakers.
To use fhe test tone
1. Press test tone ON at the receiver remote.
2. Listen and confirm that each speaker reproduces sound as
the tone moves from speaker to speaker. One tone should
come from both SURROUND speakers at the same time.
3. Adjust the volume levels of the CENTER and SURROUND
speakers so all of the speakers sound equally loud in your
main listening area.
Instructions for this process vary, depending on the receiver brand
and model you are using. Follow your receiver owner’s guide
instructions for more details on using the test tone.
To balance the bass and treble
Upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpets, or heavy drapes can
muffle treble (high notes), making your speaker system sound
bass heavy. Bare floors and walls and hard surface furniture can
make your speaker system sound too shrill. After listening to your
speakers, you may want to adjust the balance of bass and treble.
You can use the bass and treble controls on your receiver.
