SURROUND MODE settings, it defaults to modes most suited to the
type of audio content being played – however you can change these
settings. Some of these modes, (such as DOLBY DIGITAL, and Dolby
PROLOGIC II), will cause all speakers to be active, while other modes,
(such as STEREO and 3-STEREO), will cause your rear speakers to be
inactive. You can always test your Home Theater amplifier - and each
speaker, by using the built-in TEST TONE generator (press TEST TONE
button on remote control).
